Guidance

For full-year fiscal 2014, YOU On Demand now expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.7 million - $2.0 million. The change in guidance is directly attributable to longer-than-anticipated finalization of distribution agreements and therefore certain revenues being delayed to 2015.

Guidance

For full-year fiscal 2014, YOU On Demand now expects total revenue to be in the range of $1.7 million - $2.0 million. The change in guidance is directly attributable to longer-than-anticipated finalization of distribution agreements and therefore certain revenues being delayed to 2015.
