Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $5.2 million, which represented approximately the same revenue as the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The Company reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2012 of $43,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to net loss of $142,000 or $0.01 per share for the same quarter last year. Financial results included non-cash expense related to stock options of $17,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $54,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA improved in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to both the third quarter of 2011 and on a sequential basis. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012 Adjusted EBITDA was $216,000, which represented a 104% increase from Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2011 of $106,000. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 167% higher than Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $81,000. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for a detail definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

"The current year started with an off quarter, but our performance has progressively improved during the year as we have improved our Adjusted EBITDA each quarter since. We plan to build on this positive momentum during the fourth quarter of 2012," noted Sajan CEO, Shannon Zimmerman.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Our management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
