chief executive officer, resigned effective August 1, 2011. Kevin

Mr. Thomas has served as an independent advisor to the Board of

CyberDefender more than 20 years of industry expertise in growing
and managing highly successful direct-to-consumer marketing
companies.
"Our third quarter was dedicated to the
implementation of our strategic plan, and I am excited to report
our efforts yielded meaningful improvements to a number of key
metrics," said Mr. Thomas. "Our company plan for
stability, growth and profitability includes comprehensive efforts
across front-end customer acquisition, product portfolio, call
center efficiency, collections, and our eCommerce platform. We
are committed to providing best-of-breed products and services to
our customers while achieving sustainable profitability and
building a solid foundation so that we may capitalize on the
opportunity ahead of us."
"Meeting our goals for profitability will require perseverance,
determination and commitment and this will not be accomplished
overnight. I am, however, confident we have the right plan and
the right team in place," concluded Mr. Thomas.
Results for the Quarter Ended September 30,
2011
GAAP revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $11.8 million,
compared to $12.7 million reported in the same quarter of 2010.
Gross sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $13.8 million
compared to $18.6 million reported in the same quarter of 2010. The
Company defines gross sales (a non-GAAP measure) as GAAP revenues
before returns and before deferring revenue for GAAP purposes (the
Company's use of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to GAAP is
explained below).
Cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million
compared to $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2010.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2011 was $7.7 million
compared to $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2010.
Gross margins in the third quarter of 2011 increased to 65% of
net revenue compared to 54% in the same quarter of 2010.
During the third quarter, the Company raised an aggregate of
$5.2 million in financing. The company closed $3.2 million of
the aggregate during the third quarter, and will recognize the
remaining $2 million during the fourth quarter. The financing is
described in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 4, 2011.
"As we continue to explore opportunities to improve the
capitalization of the company, we believe that the additional
financing raised during the third quarter will permit the Company
to continue to execute on its strategic repositioning plan," said
Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Kevin
Harris.
The Company ended the quarter with deferred revenue of $18.5
million and unrestricted cash of $1.5 million.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2011
GAAP revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was
$39.9 million, compared to $32.0 million reported during the same
period of 2010. Gross sales (a non-GAAP measure) for the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 was $50.9 million, compared to
$42.8 million reported during the same period of 2010.
Cost of revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $17.3
million, compared to $13.0 million reported during the same period
of 2010.
Gross profit for the first nine months of 2011 was $22.6
million, compared to $18.9 million reported during the same period
of 2010.
2011 Guidance
For the full year 2011, the Company expects gross sales in the
range of $63 to $65 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Gross sales are a non-GAAP measure that the Company uses in
assessing its operating performance. We define gross sales as total
sales before refunds and uncollectible receivables/cancels and
before deferring revenue for GAAP purposes. We use this non-GAAP
financial measure frequently because we believe it gives a better
indication of our operating performance and the profitability of
our marketing initiatives. We include this non-GAAP financial
measure in our earnings announcements in order to provide
transparency to our investors and enable investors to better
understand our operating performance. However, gross sales alone
should not be used to assess our financial performance or to
formulate investment decisions.
The following is a reconciliation of gross sales to net GAAP
revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and
September 30, 2010.
