Q3 was the pivot point
"We implemented a number of financial and operational initiatives in August 2014, with many of them starting to take hold," said Brad Eisenstein, AllDigital's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "Our goal is to achieve cash flow profitability in 2015."
AllDigital anticipates that through the growth and expansion of its patented technology, tighter cost controls and continuing efficiencies in its own development methodologies, direct costs should decrease and gross profit should improve [in the near and long-term].
"The third quarter looks to be a pivot point for our company, and I'm proud of what we have accomplished," said Michael Linos, AllDigital's CEO and President. "That said, there is plenty of work to be done, including increasing our revenues. I am very excited about our recent acquisition of the Brevity ultrafast transcode/transport technology and the early demand indications for our AllDigital Brevity product. This could be a real game changer for our company and our customers."

Cash decreased $1,161,626 from $1,300,932 at December 31, 2013 to $139,306 at September 30, 2014, due primarily to the net cash used in operating activities

Net sales decreased by $235,641, or 8% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 due to net declines in monthly recurring and nonrecurring revenue of $325,608 and $141,870, respectively, offset by an $231,837 net increase in recognized deferred revenue. The net decline in recurring revenue resulted from a decrease in recurring monthly maintenance and support contracts with new and existing customers.

That's great, thanks for the insight. I think from a supply and demand standpoint, this one is very ripe for a run. Much like the vast majority of reverse merger deals, this one went through that period shaking out all the loose stock over a year or so where it seemed like there was unlimited supply. Not like the bid/volume was high, there were just always blocks of stock on the offer. That seems to be abating somewhat and I think they have worked through that brutal period of transition where there was obviously a massive blowout internally amongst management in early 2014. But as you said, I too believe they have some proprietary technology that is of value and they are in a very lucrative space. I have been impressed as well that they continue to fund the company on terms that display confidence in the end potential here, otherwise they would be taking toxic money on their way out the door. The financing terms have been, and continue to be, very favorable to the company. Those writing checks continue to pay up to invest in this company, both internal guys and wealthy investors as well, which is huge. Outside guys like us have to triangulate our opinions, and this one seems to line up well from a several different angles. I think we have a good chance to see it play out well.

Hi botlow.
All of my investing is initiated on insider trading and then doing research, looking at the fundamentals, and going through the filings. So I don't just go buying anything just because the CEO goes and buys some shares.
I first learned of ADGL back in August when one of the reports I use identified it based on prior insider purchases and then obviously the shares fell. Going through all of the filings, I liked what I saw. The obvious issues were the unexpected events last year, and whether the company had sufficient access to funds to keep things going. As I dug into the filings and the folks running the show I became very comfortable with it. As coincidental as it was, within minutes of when I purchased my first batch of shares, company announced CEO passed away. I just kept buying from that point.
I am not an expert in the industry, however I have good familiarity and have a technical background. I am nicely invested in CCUR which is in a very similar part of the market. They are one company I can see that would be a great fit for ADGL and potentially buying them. I also have a position in SOFO - another part of the video sector. I think that during 2015 and beyond, video is definitely the place to be - there have been great strides and things are still accelerating at this point.
My belief is that any purchases of ADGL shares below 15 cents is just free profit. You've probably also looked at the SEC filings surrounding the financing provided by management - their notes are convertible to common stock at 15 cents/share...just like their stock options. If they don't get the stock back to at least 15 cents, then they won't get to convert and they'll just get back their money with the low interest rates and their options will be worthless. Reviewing the background of these guys, and seeing the history of their last success, I am absolutely certain they have similar plans here - they are looking for a homerun - they want to be able to convert all those notes and their options at 15 cents/share. I like when I can buy below the option strike price for management - because they are going to work their tails off to get the stock price up over their exercise price.
Anyhow, I think that there are good things on the near-term as well as longer-term horizon for ADGL - it's just a matter of patience. Based on comments from the CEO, I think we should be seeing bottom line profitability very soon - if not this quarter, certainly next quarter. I think once they post a profit, no matter how small, it's going to be bringing many more investors to the table because they will be more comfortable with the company at that point.

It's time to be long or get long
Momentum in the business is just beginning to come around after an extraordinarily difficult past 9 months due to numerous unforeseen circumstances. With a good portion of the staff abruptly walking off the job earlier in the year and then the (young) CEO unexpectedly dying, these were obviously major shocks.
However, reading the press releases, reviewing the SEC filings, and understanding that sufficient financing is in place going forward, ADGL is likely going to be posting bottom line profits through 2015.
The shares are tremendously undervalued for what they have, the client base, and the opportunity going forward.
There is little reason the shares should not be trading somewhere closer to 30 cents or 50 cents today. Year end 2015 it would not be surprising to see shares back on the 75 cent to $1.00 range.
With shares at the current level and extremely cheap, I'm very surprised that other players have not approached company to scoop them up or make a strategic investment.
This management team is experienced and likely will not be settling for anything under $1.00 should an acquirer come along. My belief is that they're looking to grow the revenues probably 5 or 10 fold in the coming years before accepting a buyout in the $3.00 to $5.00 range...if not higher.
