NEW YORK, -- DAG Media Inc -- DAG Media, Inc. today announced that basic and diluted net loss per common share was $(0.05) in for the period ended March 31, 2007 versus basic and diluted net loss per common share of $(0.12) for the period ended March 31, 2006.

 

Net sales for the period ended March 31, 2007 were $25,000 versus net sales of $0 for the period ended March 31, 2006. This increase in net sales is mainly due to $24,000 in sales made through DAG Media, Inc.'s subsidiary, Shopila, Inc.'s marketplaces.

 

Loss from operations for the period ended March 31, 2007 was $242,000 compared to a loss of $207,000 for the period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $35,000, or 16.9%. This increase is mainly due to nextyellow.com web development expenses of $12,000, an increase in payroll expenses of approximately $35,000, due to the acquisition of Shopila, Inc., and an increase in insurance expenses of approximately $6,000, offset by a decrease in shared based compensation expenses and professional fees.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2007, consolidated losses from continuing operation were $205,000 or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share (based on 3.236 million shares), compared to a loss of $249,000 or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share (based on 3.142 million shares), for the period ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in a loss of $44,000 resulted mainly from the increase in other income (net) of $67,000. The increase in other income (net) is primarily attributable to realized losses on marketable securities in 2007 in the amount of approximately $27,000, as compared to realized losses on marketable securities in 2006 in the amount of approximately $64,000.
