Sales, Operating loss, and Net loss for 2007 improved over 2006. In September, 2007, i3CME, one of the Company's major customers, gave notice that it was terminating its contract with the Company early. Under the contract i3CME had made prepayments toward the installation of a satellite network. The Company had purchased equipment to be used in the installation and had expended in excess of $500,000 in telemarketing efforts to secure users of the network. As a result of i3CME's notification, as of September 30, 2007 the Company recognized as revenue $487,000 that had previously been deferred. The Company also recognized $192,000 in material costs related to the inventory purchased for the installation. The telemarketing costs were expensed as incurred.

In Q2 and Q3 the Company completed a $500,000 sale of equipment to i-vu UK which was similar to that used in the i-vu USA installations.

Robert Dameron, CEO of Broadband Learning said, "While Sales and Operating Results have improved they continue to be below expectations. However, the Company has a firmer foundation than it has ever had. The implementation of the project under the previously announced contract with i-vu, USA, Inc. as described in the Press Release dated August 29, 2007 and the announcement on November 6, 2007 that it had closed on a sale of $1.5 million in convertible debentures puts the Company in a sound position for growth."
