"It's my pleasure to announce Ku6's earnings release for the third quarter of 2014," Mr. Xudong Xu, Chief Executive Officer of Ku6 Media, commented. "After the reduction of labor and CDN costs in the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a new advertising agency agreement with Huzhong in August which allowed us to realize higher revenue and enjoy better cash collection terms. As a result, we significantly narrowed our operating cash deficit by the end of the quarter and we are now forecasting a better operating cash flow in the next year."
Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Total revenues were US$1.62 million (RMB9.92 million) in the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 132.2% from US$0.70 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 52.5% from US$3.40 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues as compared to the second quarter of 2014 was due to an increase in third party advertising revenues and related party revenues from the Company's arrangements with Qinhe.
Cost of revenues was US$2.48 million (RMB15.24million) in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of 25.5% from US$3.31 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 32.8% from US$3.69 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in cost of revenues as compared to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to decreased bandwidth costs and labor costs as a result of cost reduction measures.
Gross loss was US$0.87million (RMB5.32 million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to a gross loss of US$2.64 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a gross loss of US$0.29 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP gross loss, which is herein defined as a gross loss excluding expenses (benefits) associated with share-based compensation, was US$0.83million (RMB5.11 million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to a non-GAAP gross loss of US$2.60 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a non-GAAP gross loss of US$0.25 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses were US$1.60 million (RMB9.82 million) in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of 47.2% from US$3.03 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 61.1% from US$4.12 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are defined as operating expenses excluding expenses (benefits) associated with share-based compensation, were US$1.47 million (RMB9.00 million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to non-GAAP operating expenses of US$3.02 million in the second quarter of 2014 and US$3.86 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in operating expenses as compared to the second quarter of 2014 was mainly attributable to (i)the effect of severance pay in relation to the Company's headcount reduction plan started in April and (ii) a second quarter charge to provide an allowance of US$0.92 million (RMB5.71 million) for accounts receivable due from Shengyue, the Company's previous exclusive advertising agency, which originated during the period of time Shengyue was owned by Shanda Interactive for which collection was assessed to be remote.
Operating loss was US$2.47 million (RMB15.14 million) in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of 56.4% from US$5.66 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 44.0% from US$4.40 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP operating loss, which reflects the exclusion of expenses (benefits) associated with share-based compensation, was US$2.30million (RMB14.11 million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to the non-GAAP operating loss of US$5.62 million in the second quarter of 2014 and US$4.10 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Net loss was US$0.93 million (RMB5.72 million) in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of 82.6% from US$5.34 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 72.9% from US$3.44 million in the third quarter of 2013.Non-GAAP net loss, which reflects the exclusion of expenses (benefits) associated with share-based compensation, was US$0.76 million (RMB4.68 million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to US$5.30 million in the second quarter of 2014 and US$3.14 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in net loss as compared to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues, the decrease in cost of revenues, the decrease in operating expenses, and a US$1.45 million (RMB8.91 million) gain from the disposal of the Company's equity interest in an affiliate to a third party company.
Net loss per basic and diluted ADS was US$0.02(RMB0.12) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to US$0.11 in the second quarter of 2014 and US$0.07 in the third quarter of 2013. Weighted average ADSs used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per ADS were 47.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, 47.3 million in the second quarter of 2014and 47.3 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, which is herein defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization and write-down of licensed video copyrights), further adjusted for share-based compensation expenses (benefits), other non-operating items, and the gain from disposal of an equity interest in an affiliate was US$2.05 million (RMB12.55million) in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of US$5.33 million in the second quarter of 2014 and US$3.31 million in the third quarter of 2013.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had US$2.77 million (RMB17.02 million) in cash and cash equivalents, compared to US$4.24 million as of June 30, 2014. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to US$3.00 million (RMB18.39 million) of net cash outflows for operating activities, partially offset by proceeds from the disposal of an equity interest in an affiliate in the amount of US$1.45 million (RMB8.91 million).
Liquidity and Going Concern
Substantial doubt exists as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, primarily due to uncertainties regarding (1) the Company's ability to continue to improve operating cash inflows, which depend on growth in revenues from (i) Huzhong, the Company's new third party advertising agency since late August 2014, and (ii) two cooperation agreements with related party Qinhe; (2) the Company's ability to reduce its operating cash outflows; and (3) the availability and timing of additional financing with terms acceptable to the Company. Growth in the Company's operating cash inflows is principally dependent upon achieving revenue growth from successful cooperation with Huzhong and Qinhe as well as other efforts to expand sources of revenue.
The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this news release does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties and was prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.

I posted this earlier today on the YMB for KUTV and decided to pass it on here:
Huge Loss to be Reported
For those of you unfortunate enough to still be invested here, please read the NT 20-F and 6K filings for 4/24 and you will see that:
1. Sales for Q4 will be BELOW LY & Q3;
2. Sales for 2013 will be $1M BELOW 2012
3. Loss for year will be appx. 34.5M vs 9.5M LY;
4. Cash at year end will be 1.7M vs 13.0M LY;
5. "Based upon certain conditions existing as of December 31, 2013, as well as certain events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern."
6. Short interest more than doubled from 3/31 to 4/15.
I actually tried to sell the shares short today, but my brokerage won't allow it, however, if you have the ability to sell them short, you stand a better chance of making money than by going/staying long - IMHO. Whatever you do, I wish you all the best. You can find the filings at SECdotGOV, don't take my word for it.

Ku6 Media announced that on March 31 the controlling shareholder of the company, Shanda Media, signed a share purchase agreement with Xu Xudong, to sell 1,938,360,784 ordinary shares of the company, amounting to approximately 41% of the company's issued and outstanding share capital, to Xu. Shanda Media currently owns approximately 70.5% of the company’s shares. Xu is the founder and controlling shareholder of Sky Profit Limited, which operates iSpeak, a social platform that allows users to engage in real-time online group activities through voice, text and video. The aggregate consideration for the sale shares will be determined based on the lower of the market price of the company’s ADSs during the seven consecutive business days immediately prior to the closing of the transaction and the closing price of the company’s ADSs on the closing date. Xu will fund the purchase price through a loan from Shanda Media, which will be secured by a pledge of all the company’s shares beneficially owned by Xu. The transaction is expected to be completed by April 30.
