POMPANO BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) - Onstream Media Corporation (NASDAQ: [ ONSM ]), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand Internet broadcasting, corporate web communications and virtual marketplace technology, announced today its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the three months ended December 31, 2010 ("Q1 FY2011").

 Q1 FY2011 Financial Highlights -- Total revenues were approximately $4.2 million for Q1 FY2011, an increase of approximately 4.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 ("Q1 FY2010") and an increase of 4.4% sequentially (compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010). The increase in revenues compared to the year-ago quarter was primarily attributable to higher revenues from Onstream's Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group. -- Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group revenues were approximately $2.3 million in Q1 FY2011, an increase of 10.3% as compared to Q1 FY2010. -- Webcasting revenues of approximately $1.5 million in Q1 FY2011 represent an increase of 3.2% as compared to Q1 FY2010. -- Webcasting revenues for Q1 FY2011 from selected government contracts were approximately $136,000, an increase of 109.2% compared to Q1 FY2010. -- Gross margin was approximately $2.8 million in Q1 FY2011, representing 66.7% of total revenues and an increase of 6.1% compared to the year-ago quarter. -- Operating expenses were approximately $3.6 million in Q1 FY2011, a decrease of approximately $3.2 million, or 47.3%, compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in Q1 FY2010 versus no such charge in Q1 FY2011. -- Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $386,000 in Q1 FY2011, a decrease of approximately $181,000, or 31.9%, compared to the year-ago quarter. -- Consolidated net loss was approximately $(898,000), or $(0.10) loss per share, in Q1 FY2011, representing a decrease of 79.3% as compared to a net loss of approximately $(4.3) million, or $(0.58) loss per share, in Q1 FY2010. The approximately $3.4 million decrease in the net loss was primarily due to the $3.1 million non-cash charge of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in Q1 FY2010 versus no such charge in Q1 FY2011, as discussed above. -- Onstream's Q1 FY2011 net loss of approximately $898,000 included approximately $910,000 of non-cash expenses and an approximately $139,000 non-cash gain for adjustment of derivative liability to fair value. The primary non-cash expenses included in the Q1 FY2011 loss were depreciation and amortization, employee compensation expense arising from the issuance of stock and options, and amortization of deferred professional fee expenses paid for by issuing stock and options. Key Developments -- Onstream is now in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 (a)(2)(a) as a result of its common stock closing at a bid price of $1.00 per share or more for the ten consecutive business days ended January 27, 2011. -- Onstream has repaid the balance of the $1.0 million it borrowed during the first part of 2010, which had a remaining principal balance of $714,000 as of September 30, 2010. Of this balance, $503,000 was satisfied on October 1, 2010 by Onstream's payment of cash and the issuance of common shares and the remaining $211,000 was satisfied by monthly principal payments during Q1 FY 2011, plus the issuance of common shares in January 2011. -- In January 2011, Onstream signed a MarketPlace365™ (MP365) promoter agreement with MedicExchange, which expects its new MP365 to eventually include thousands of companies in the healthcare industry. MedicExchange provides technology-enabled tools and technical data to approximately 75,000 healthcare buyers representing approximately $12 billion in annual purchases. -- In February 2011, Onstream signed a promoter agreement with Tarsus Advon for the Trade Show News Network (TSNN) to power an MP365 marketplace for the tradeshow industry, expected to be launched this March. TSNN is the world's leading online resource for the event, exhibition and event industry since 1996. 

Management Commentary

Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, said, "We were pleased to report the 10.3% revenue increase in our Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group as well as a revenue increase in our webcasting division, which included the impact of a 109.2% gain in revenues from selected government sector contracts."

Mr. Selman continued, "As expected, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and continuing into the second quarter, we have signed a number of new MP365 promoter agreements. In addition to our four active marketplaces, we have 20 signed MP365 promoter contracts in hand and other exciting prospect companies are in the pipeline. Several of these existing contracts are expected to launch and become active in the coming weeks and months. Due to the anticipated increases in conferencing, webcasting and DMSP and hosting revenues, as well as our anticipation of the start of meaningful revenues from our MP365 platform, we expect revenue increases to continue throughout 2011."

Mr. Selman added, "Although we reported cash used in operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for Q1 FY2011, versus net cash provided by operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for Q3 and Q4 FY2010, this change was primarily related to certain expenses being seasonally higher in Q1 FY2011 as compared to Q3 and Q4 FY2010, including vacation expense and audit fee expense. Accordingly, we still expect to report net cash provided by operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for the balance of fiscal 2011.We were also pleased to repay the balance of the $1.0 million that we borrowed during the first part of 2010 without incurring any additional debt to do so. We will continue to strengthen our balance sheet, subject of course to equity market conditions as well as the increased revenues levels that we are expecting."
