"We are very happy with the many things we accomplished in Q3," said Steve Levely, chief executive officer at Ackroo. "After making some operational changes in order to reduce operating costs it was important that we stayed poised to continue growing our business technically and commercially. We were successful in those plans as we made a number of product advancements, further developed several of our partnerships, added many more new clients and increased our recurring revenue to over $400k a quarter. We achieved our lowest operating losses in Company history and now have our monthly burn below $5,000 a month. With lots of organic growth expected in Q4 along with the latest acquisition we are doing with KESM/LoyalMark the Company is finally at a point where both scale and operating profits are right in front of us. A very exciting milestone for the Company and for our shareholders."
