Fred Vandenberg, Destiny CFO, says, "Our largest area of growth continues to be revenue from our Play MPE® system, which is up at least 25% from Q3 and which grew for the 12th consecutive quarter.
"Every major customer group showed an increase in usage. Universal Music Group announced an expansion of their agreement with Destiny in June and an encouraging trend is the high revenue growth with labels that have recently gone to commercial usage. Revenue from EMI, Warner Music Group and Sony BMG grew more than 300%. Contracts signed with Major Label clients in Northern Europe and expanded use by existing major independent labels also contributed significantly to the over-all growth."
"What's encouraging about this increased revenue, is that operating costs continue to decrease as labels incorporate Play MPE® into their work flow," said company CEO, Steve Vestergaard. "Loss from operations has dropped by more than 40% from the prior quarter. The company is not seeking external financing and is looking forward to imminent profitability."
[...]
The company completely phased out all unpaid trials in the United States as of August 31. Three major labels have gone to paid agreement in northern Europe and this usage is continuing to expand. Trials continued in the rest of Europe and Latin America. 636 singles, 49 bundles and 1 album generated 95,000 transactions during the quarter in Australia and New Zealand.

You think they mean that they actually WON'T be profitable this quarter then? That's how I read it, and if I understood their earlier prediction, they thought they would be profitable during the quarter ending Sep 30.
Ahhh, forget it. I hadn't realized that DSNY's fiscal year starts on Sep 1. I thought that the earlier announcement was that they'd be profitable for the calendar quarter ending Sep 30. I guess things are on schedule then.
They said in their last quarterly release that they expected to be profitable in the quarter after the current one, I guess Q2 09 according to their fiscal year.
