(NASDAQ: OHGI) (“One Horizon”, “We” or the “Company”), which develops and licenses bandwidth efficient mobile voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) platform for smart phones, announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2015.

“The most exciting progress since launching our Aishuo App in the first quarter is that we continue to see quantities of downloads that are exceeding our internal projections,” stated Founder and CEO Brian Collins. “Together the Aishuo App, our validated technology and success with Tier-1 carriers such as SingTel, Smart Communications and Smartfren and with the signing of our first license contract in Latin America, we believe that we are well positioned for growth through the remainder of 2015 and beyond,” concluded Mr. Collins.
Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million as compared to approximately $1.2 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that $0.5 million recognized during the first quarter of 2014 on a Global Exchange installment was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014 instead of the first quarter of 2015 because the invoice was received in December 2014, a month earlier than the previous year. Going forward, the Company expects the percent of total sales from software licenses and revenue share which inherently incorporates higher margins to increase. The Company expects revenue to increase in 2015 as more customers launch their services using the Horizon products and Aishuo platform gains further traction.
Gross profit and gross profit margins amounted $0.2 million and 23.1% respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 declined to $1.1 million from $1.2 million during the same period in 2014. In an effort to shift the Company–s business model from being purely a B2B business, the Company has allocated its resources to developing the B2C network and system in China where they have a greater influence on customer product development. One Horizon undertook considerable work in 2014 and launched its App on B2C network in February 2015.
Net loss and net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $1.0 million and $0.03 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million and a net loss per share of $0.01 during the same period in 2013.
