-- Total revenues decreased 28% to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of
2012 compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2011;
-- Bookings decreased 44% to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012
compared to $5.6 million for the comparable period in 2011;
-- Deferred revenue decreased 20% to $2.5 million at December 31, 2012
compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2011;
-- Net loss was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share
for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with a net loss of $1.5
million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable
period in 2011; and
-- SNAP's balance sheet position continues to be strong, with $5.5 million
of available sources of liquidity (includes cash and cash equivalents
and restricted cash) at December 31, 2012.
"The fourth quarter marked the end of our transitional period, as we focused on improving our feature set and conversion process for users of the redesigned AYI brand. As anticipated due to the re-launch, revenue and bookings were lower in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the comparable period in 2011. Having completed the re-launch, we believe that the AYI brand is poised to grow once again. During January 2013, we began to increase our marketing spend to drive new users to AYI. We are excited about how the product is performing and we look forward to growing the AYI brand during 2013. We closed the year with $5.5 million in available liquidity and believe we are well positioned to achieve our 2013 objectives," said Jon D. Pedersen, Sr., SNAP's Chief Financial Officer.

Business Highlights
SNAP has also had a number of positive developments during the quarter ending March 31, 2013, including the following:
-- SNAP acquired and transitioned to the 'AYI.com' domain in January 2013;
-- New subscription sales increased in both January and February 2013 from
December 2012;
-- AYI launched new "social" features for AreYouInterested.com that are
designed to integrate a user's interest and social graphs into the
online dating experience; and
-- SNAP has begun to rebrand AreYouInterested.com as "AYI", a shorter and
easier name for our users to remember.
Management Commentary
"2012 was a challenging year for SNAP," said SNAP's President and CEO Clifford Lerner. "We exited 2011 with a growing product in AreYouInterested.com, but one we felt could be improved and redesigned. Early last year we announced that 2012 would be devoted to developing new architecture and redesigning AYI in order to reach our growth potential with a product focused on 'social' features that could leverage our significant scale of the interest and social graph. While the overall process took longer than anticipated, we're pleased to report that the launch of the redesigned AYI is now complete and we have an exciting product roadmap that we are positioned to execute on."
"As a result of the launch of the redesigned AYI, key engagement and monthly revenue metrics have increased in 2013 and we are excited to report that the AYI brand is growing." Lerner continued, "New subscription sales increased in both January and February 2013 from December 2012. We have also benefitted from higher conversion rates, the rates at which users are converted to paying subscribers, since the launch and we have expanded our user acquisition campaigns. Additionally, key to our 2013 objectives is a focus on building a recognizable brand based on a unique and top quality product. AYI's success to date has been accomplished without establishing any meaningful brand identity and we firmly believe that building a unique and quality brand for AYI is key to driving potential upside in 2013. We believe that our recent launch of 'social features' to leverage our scale of the Facebook social and interest graph differentiates AYI in the dating space. With millions of Facebook connected profiles and over 1 billion interest data points, we are now positioned to leverage this data and scale to create compelling experiences for our users. Furthermore, we're excited to announce we have acquired the AYI.com domain in conjunction with our branding initiatives. 'AYI' is a shorter and easier name for our users to remember and we have already transitioned our users to the new AYI.com domain."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided in this release non-GAAP financial information including bookings and overall liquidity to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and to determine our future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics we use in making operating decisions and because our investors and analysts use such information to help assess the health of our business.
Some limitations of bookings and overall liquidity as financial measures include that:
-- Bookings does not reflect that we defer and recognize revenue from
subscription fees and micro-transactions over the length of the
subscription term;
-- Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate
bookings and overall liquidity differently or choose not to calculate
bookings and overall liquidity at all, which reduces their usefulness as
comparative measures; and
-- Overall liquidity does not reflect the Company's ability to convert
restricted cash and investments into cash and cash equivalents.
Because of these limitations, you should consider bookings and overall liquidity along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
