It’s interesting how they fail to mention their zero revenue growth overall and
AmericanSingles.com, their largest web property, being down 16%, in their opening remarks. You have to read further down for that.

This can’t be good news for a company trying to do an IPO on the NASDAQ. Don’t investors look for companies with solid (read: huge) year-over-year growth, when deciding to buy their stock?

As i posted before it looks like they aquired some usability experts and marketing people. Costs falling and profitability rising.

If i’m reading the financials right, Spark took on 1.78 million of minglematches debt. That pushes the purchase price up by another 2 million.
