Market Overview u  It’s a Great Time to Enter the Internet Broadcasting Market

u  Part One -

u  Content Acquisition

u  Customer Acquisition Costs are Low while the appreciation of user value continues to climb.

u  Viral and Organic Growth continues to increase with internet social sharing reducing acquisition costs

u  Ad Publishing

u  Interactive Advertising is worth much more than non-interactive legacy terrestrial systems due to user’s integrating and multi-tasking while using online content distribution system.

Page 9: 14 aldv station-digital

Market Overview u  It’s a Great Time to Enter the Internet Broadcasting Market

u  Part Two -

u  Technology – The stars have finally aligned to create an agnostic platform.

u  HTML5 and Java have paved the way for a device agnostic global platform.

u  Technology has sufficiently matured to allow for a truly “device agnostic” global platform - with better curation, reduced overhead, and increased profitability.

u  Infrastructure and broadband connections continue to be more widely available and at lower costs - allowing for increased audience and lower cost of acquisition.

u  Merchandising

u  Ability to gather intelligence on users to dynamically change the user experience based on user demographics and analytical data. Therefore you increase the stickiness, retention and revenue per user since they are more engaged.

u  Competitors

u  Fragmented offerings are not what today’s multi-device consumer wants. Consumers want complete portability of their content.

u  It is highly resource and time consuming for our competitors to make changes to legacy infrastructure and code with existing large user bases.

u  Our competitors are penalized for change and innovation due to their user’s inherent resistance to change in experience. Every change creates user loss through attrition and conflicts with their primary objective of increasing user retention quarter by quarter.

The Opportunity

u  Total revenues generated by Internet radio services in 2013 are currently estimated in excess of $1 Billion, and are forecast to be 3 times that by 2015

u  Total advertising revenue generated in Internet radio increased by 56% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013

u  Advertising revenue in Internet radio on mobile and other connected devices increased by 99% in 2013

*Measured in hundreds of millions of listener hours

For the past four years, ending in 2013, the Internet radio market has grown at triple digit rates.* This rate is widely forecasted to increase through next three years. The top 15 Internet radio services all grew substantially, in both user numbers and revenues, in 2013:

to achieve pre-eminent market share, surpassed 30 million registered users in less than two years after the launch of its current version

u  Spotify, SoundCloud, Rdio, Tune-in, Slacker, and Sound Hound have all achieved prominent brand awareness, large user bases, and high enterprise values

u  StationDigital has risen into the top national tier of Internet Radio stations in one tenth the time it took any of those others to do so, and has already surpassed all but three in mobile app downloads in 2014.
