Revenues
Revenue for the first quarter was $7,977,759, compared to $8,813,176 for last year, a decrease of $(835,417) or (9.48)%. The overall decrease in revenues is largely attributable to the additional one time revenue the Company recognized in 2010 from the 2010 Winter Games.
Gross margin
Gross profit for the first quarter 2011 was $1,280,231 (16.05%), compared with $2,060,893 (23.38%) last year. The decrease in gross profit is directly related to the reduction in revenues relating to the 2010 Winter Games.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased mainly due to the increased net loss and decreased non-cash operating working capital. Decreases in non-cash operating working capital were primarily the result of increased receivables in Q1 2011.
Financing activities
Cash from financing activities amounted to $141,924 compared with cash of $267,431 last year. The revolving facility generated $231,140 during the quarter compared to $326,635 in the comparative quarter.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment amounted to $838,603 as at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $42,776 compared to December 31, 2010 mainly due to the Q1 2011 depreciation of $84,361 and additions of $41,585.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets primarily include customer relationships, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods varying between 5 and 8 years. Intangible assets amounted to $674,874 as at March 31, 2011, a reduction of $19,330 over intangible assets as at December 31, 2010, mainly due to customer lists purchased of $39,793 and Q1 2011 amortization of $59,123.
