Michael Hill, Chief Executive Officer of StreamTrack, stated, "Reaching positive EBITDA in November and December of 2013 is a huge milestone. Over the last year we have successfully aggregated new radio stations and increased our revenue per listener hour at aggressive rates. We believe our monetization rates are at or near the top of the internet radio industry. We plan to continue to execute on our business model by adding new active radio stations and increase revenue per listening hour. With the recent acquisition of the RobotFruit mobile platform, we anticipate providing a similar mobile ad-supported model to broadcasters and stations owners. Rather than providing a mobile app guide with an aggregate of all of our stations, we plan to provide each of our stations a free mobile application for their station. If all of our initiatives are well-executed and the internet radio sector continues to expand, we see 2014 being a year of extreme growth for us."
