CAMPBELL, Calif. & NEW YORK--()--LiveWorld, Inc. (OTC Markets: LVWD), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2021. Total revenues were approximately $2.7 million for the third quarter, as compared to the approximately $2.0 million in total revenues reported for the same period in 2020. This was an increase of approximately $676,000 or 34% when compared to the third quarter of 2020. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $7.4 million, as compared to the $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This was an increase of approximately $1.4 million or 23% when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Healthcare related revenues grew approximately 45% when compared to the third quarter of 2020.

We reported a net income for the quarter of approximately $263,000 or 10% of total revenues. This compares to net income of approximately $136,000 or 7% of total revenues reported for the third quarter of 2020. The company had a net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of approximately $514,000, or 7% of total revenues, as compared to the net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of approximately $75,000, or 1% of total revenues.

We finished the third quarter with approximately $4.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to the approximately $2.6 million at the end of 2020. Cash from operations has grown from $1.6 million to $3.1 million or 93%. We were recently informed the PPP loan the company received in 2020 has been forgiven by the government and will be accounted for in the fourth quarter. The valuation of the company using the average share price for the first nine months of the year is approximately $4.9 million as compared to the $4.1 million cash.

“We have made tremendous strides in improving our revenue growth and our profitability over the past year,” said David Houston, Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld. “This has contributed to our cash from operations growing 136% year-over-year.
