Revenue from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $119,248 compared to $151,210 during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Revenue consisted of fees generated from the Sky Play amusement games acquired with the purchase of IIL. The decrease in revenue reflects the fact that the number of airlines licensed to use the Company's software has decreased even though the number of aircraft flying with Sky Play remained static at 141. This result is directly attributable to the current budgetary constraints of the airline industry in general.
Net gain of $7,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a loss of $70,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 reflects the continuing efforts of management to contain expenses, along with the significant decrease in the depreciation and amortization expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $58,683 in the 2001 period to $50,519 in the 2002 period.
Consulting and contract labor expenses have decreased from $51,990 to $27,800. Product marketing increased from $0 to $5,583 and legal expense increased from $2,119 to $5,316.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $86,792 to $22,951.
