- The decrease in Online English Language Learning revenue is due
to ELL Technologies' strategic decision to initiate a complete
overhaul and redevelopment of its product portfolio and to
gradually phase out sales of its legacy software. The Company has
now completed the redesign of its product user interface, learning
management system, and the multi-browser delivery system for
desktops and tablets for the ELL Technologies suite of products
including Scholar, Business, Master,
Kids, and Placement Test. The redevelopment process has
now been completed, with marketing currently underway to key
distributors in order to secure annual sale minimums as full sales
and marketing efforts will be resuming.
- Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013
totalled $256,643 as compared to $508,158 in 2012, a 49% decrease.
Operating expenses decreased significantly as a result of reduced
sales and marketing costs while the ELL Technologies' products were
undergoing a complete redesign. The Company is pre-marketing to its
distributors and plans to resume its full sales and marketing
efforts.
- Total comprehensive loss totalled $323,227 or $0.015 loss per
share based on 21.8 million shares outstanding compared to a total
comprehensive loss of $690,052 or $0.03 loss per share based on
20.9 million shares outstanding in 2012.
