Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. Reports Year End Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ) today reported revenues of $1,192,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1,106,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of 8%. Net loss was $81,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005; ($0.00) basic per share, compared to net loss of $157,000, ($0.00) per share for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 were $161,000, compared to $495,000 in the prior year, a decrease of 67%. Spatializer reported net loss of ($187,000), ($0.00) per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to net income of $170,000, $0.00 per share, in the prior year.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had $551,000 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $871,000 at December 31, 2004. The Company had working capital of $560,000 at December 31, 2005 as compared with working capital of $586,000 at December 31, 2004.
The increase in revenue resulted from a greater recognition of deferred revenue in the current year, as compared to the prior year, in which a royalty advance was received. In addition, revenues increased from royalties on a third party semiconductor used in cellular phones, as compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by declining revenues from two accounts whose products using our technology reached end of life. Their new models do not utilize our technology.
The reduction in net loss for the current period is primarily the result of higher revenue, partially offset by higher overhead.
