DAG Media, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

DAG Media, Inc. announced today that net income per common share was $0.05 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, versus basic and diluted net loss per common share of $(0.04)  for the three month period ended September 30, 2006. The increase in net income is mainly due to income from its new short-term secured business lending operations through DAG Funding Solutions, Inc., (“Dag Funding”) a wholly owned subsidiary formed in May 2007, as well as income from discontinued operations associated with a gain on the sale of the directories business and a write-off of Shopila’s liabilities in accordance with the company decision to discontinued operations of Shopila and cease making advances to it.

     

Total revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 were $62,000 versus total revenue of $8,000 for the same period in 2006.  The increase in total revenue is mainly due to interest income from short term notes made through DAG Funding.

     

Total revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were $70,000 versus total revenue of $8,000 for the same period in 2006.  The increase in total revenue is mainly due to interest income from short term notes made through DAG Funding. 
 
    For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 net loss per common share was $(0.11), versus net income per common share of $0.01 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. In 2006 net income was mainly attributable to the gain on the sale of the Directories business.

    DAG Funding was formed to carry out a new business initiative centered on money lending services to businesses.
