- BI Networks deployed "first-of-its-kind" digital signage network for Zions Bank, the oldest financial institution in Utah with more than 100 branches.

Q1 2012 Financial Results
Revenues in the first quarter 2012 increased 3% to $1.75 million from $1.69 million the same year-ago period. The improvement was primarily due to expanded installation of digital signage systems with the company's largest customer.
Gross profit in the first quarter 2012 increased 21% to $499,605 or 29% of total revenue from $411,727 or 24% of total revenue in the same year-ago period.
Operating loss in the first quarter 2012 was $2.1 million, an improvement from an operating loss of $3.1 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to a non-recurring, non-cash compensation expense under the company's approved equity incentive plan in Q1 2011.
Net loss in the first quarter 2012 totaled $185,477 or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from a net loss of $746,965 or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period. The improvement was primarily due to a $1.7 million gain from the extinguishment of debt compared to a loss of $970,000 in the same year-ago period. Net loss for Q1 2012 also included a decrease of $2.6 million in the derivative valuation gain related to the company's derivative securities and an increase in debt conversion costs of $600,239.
At March 31, 2012, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 million, compared to $961,265 at December 31, 2011.
Management Commentary
"Our performance in Q1 reflects our focus on driving revenue growth, customer diversification and margin expansion," said Rod Tiede, Broadcast International's CEO. "In fact, our quarterly gross margin was the highest of any first quarter in the company's history. This achievement was driven by a greater mix of software and services from our digital signage solutions.
"Broadcast continues to win new customers by harnessing the increasing demand for enterprise IP video and OTT solutions across all major global markets and client verticals. These wins included TeleCable, Vivicast, Axio TV, HSM Americas and Zions Bank.
"We are operating in the 'sweet spot' of the global transformation of traditional broadcast television to multi-screen, OTT and enterprise IP video solutions. Our disruptive and patented CodecSys technology, the only multi-codec compression technology in the market, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this rapid transition. As we progress through 2012, we are encouraged by the continued growth of our BI Networks business and expanding CodecSys customer base."
