With that, I would now like to walk you through the recent highlights.
We've continued to find tune our strategy to focus on adjusted EBITDA optimization. The integration of the newly acquired minicam assets and adjusting our spending to align with current macroeconomic conditions.
Our cash position has of June 30th, 2022, remained solid at $16.9 million. After utilizing $2.7 million for the acquisition of the Moneycam assets,
We plan to continue to invest in a measured way with responsible cash management. We plan to continue to invest in a measured way with responsible cash management. We plan to continue to invest in a measured way
Now I'd like to provide an update on many CAM, our recently closed asset acquisition that I am very excited about and our engagement with Roth Capital Partners.
During the second quarter, we closed an asset acquisition involving ManyCamps software.
Many of him is a live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video-compatting apps and distance learning tools. and distance learning tools.
We were pleased that within days of acquiring the ManyCam assets, we were able to launch ManyCam version 8, a software update with vast improvements over prior versions.
ManyCam version 8 offers quicker access, dark and light modes, and overall rendering performance improvement for high resolution users, as well as improved quality and performance with regard to virtual backgrounds.
Users can now access a library of virtual backgrounds and playlists. We expect these features will help make the product more desirable and a better complement for PALtalk and CAMFrog, which is a priority on our roadmap.
Our team now plans to actively promote and cross market ManyCam version 8 to our PalTalk and CamFrog communities.
Our team is optimizing the ManyCam assets to maximize subscription revenue, integrate and cross-sell with existing customers, and explore business-to-business sales opportunities.
Since our launch of ManyCam, there have been over 300,000 new installs of the software.
We believe, although early, this is a positive sign.
Also, during the second quarter, we announced our engagement of Roth Capital Partners as our financial advisor and investment banker to explore strategic initiatives focused on buy-side acquisitions.
We look forward to working with Roth and exploring strategic opportunities as we build upon our acquisition of the ManyCam assets.
We feel there are multiple ways to expand our communication software and multimedia social applications, which we believe have the potential to provide substantial value to Palzox stockholders.
Our NASDAQ listing status, catch position, and current operating business strategy provide us a strong platform to execute our strategic plan to acquire additional complementary and synergistic businesses.
Our goal is to get back to profitability.
The whole portion of our strategy will come from the streamlining of expenses. We believe enhancements to our live video chat applications, minicam sales and cross sales, integration of games and our focus on retention and monetization have the potential to increase revenue opportunities.
We plan to continue to develop our consumer application platform and defend our intellectual property as we seek to build stockholder value.
In addition, as previously disclosed, our board of directors approved the stock or purchase plan for up to 1.75 million dollars of the company's common stock, pursuant to which the company purchased 110,000 shares during the quarter.
Also, some stockholders have been asking for an update on our patent litigation.
As you already know, on July 23, 2021, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against WebEx Communications, Cisco WebEx LLC, and Cisco Systems in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.
We've alleged Cisco's WebEx products have infringed our US patent numbers 6683858 and that we're entitled to damages.
A Markman hearing took place in February 2022, and the trial is scheduled for February 2023.
I trust this gives you a sense of some of the company initiatives we have implemented in order to spend prudently to conserve cash as we look to increase our subscribers and use their engagement. We'll return to positive cash flow and profitability and to build stockholder value.
Now I would like to pass it to Cara for a financial summary of our second quarter ended June 30th, 2022.
Thank you, Jason. Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 23% to $2.6 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decline was attributed to the decrease in technology service revenue as a result of the termination of our partnership with OpenProps Inc, formerly YouNow, as well as a decrease in subscription revenue of 18%.
or 0.6 million, which we believe was primarily attributed to the macroeconomic environment conditions.
Advertising revenue increased by over 11% to $0.1 million.
Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022, totaled $1.1 million, a decrease in operating income of $1.7 million compared to operating income of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to a decrease in revenue of $0.8 million, coupled with increased marketing expenses of $0.2 million or 90%.
in connection with our investment in marketing, increased product development expenses of 0.2 million or 17%, in connection with the implementation of newly purchased software tools for marketing, as well as increased general and administrative expenses of 0.6 million or 124%, in connection with non-cash stock-based compensation and increased professional fees.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $1.1 million, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The resulting net loss per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was a loss of 12 cents as compared to net income per share of common stock of 12 cents for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30th decreased by $1.6 million to a loss of $0.9 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30th, 2021.
Cash-in-cash equivalents totaled $16.9 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.7 million compared to $21.6 million at December 30, 2021.
Of the $4.7 million change in cash,
$2.9 million of cash was used in connection with the ManyCam transaction, and $0.2 million was used in connection with the repurchase of shares, and $1.6 million was used in operation.
Currently, the company has no long-term debt on its balance sheet.
