Reference site Answers.com reported Q3 revenue of $2.2 million, up 19 percent over last year’s $1.85 million. Net loss expanded in the quarter by 65 percent to $1.95 million (.25 per share) from $1.18 million ($.15 per share), as the company saw increased costs in all areas. The company also gave an update on Lexico, the parent company of Dictionary.com, which it is in the process of acquiring for $100 million. Not explicitly mentioned in the release, but the company hopes to finish its acquisition of Lexico by year end, which means its $140 million raise should also logically be done by then. For their own sake, hope they’re right.
