Our Value Creating User (VCU) program, started in August 2011, has now recruited more than 5, 000 contracted VCUs, who enjoy financial rewards according to video views their uploads attract. According to Ku6 Media's internal tracking data, monthly unique visitors (UV) have reached 220 million in February 2012. With continuous efforts in cost and expense reduction, in the fourth quarter of 2011 we have achieved our first quarterly gross profit and cut our quarterly net loss to its lowest level since Ku6 Media became public in 2010. We are confident that these improvements will build a solid foundation for steady and sustainable growth."
