Mega Matrix Announces 2021 Financial Highlights
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mega Matrix Corp. (f/k/a AeroCentury Corp.) (the "Company") (NYSE American: MTMT), today announced its financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Financial Highlights:
- Net income in the fiscal year of 2021 was $14.7 million as compared to a net loss of $42.2 million in the fiscal year of 2020.
- The Company recorded $27.7 million of reorganization gains in the fiscal year of 2021.
- The Company adopted fresh start reporting adjustments on October 1, 2021, following its emergence from bankruptcy.
Yucheng Hu, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said: "After the completion of our reorganization, we have been planning and implementing our Metaverse and Gamefi business. In October 2021, we incorporated our wholly owned subsidiary, Mega Metaverse Corp. ("MEGA"), through which we launched our GameFi business in the metaverse ecosystem in December 2021. MEGA's metaverse "alSpace" received its first player registrations during the first week of January 2022, in connection with the initial test-play period for its first mini game "Mano". To better reflect our expansion into the Metaverse and GameFi business, we have also changed our name from "AeroCentury Corp." to "Mega Matrix Corp.". In connection our name change, the Company is now trading on the NYSE American under our new ticker symbol, "MTMT" . Our goal is to provide the diversification in our revenue streams and to provide potential high growth earnings to our shareholders."
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results
Net income in fiscal year 2021 was $14.7 million as compared to a net loss of $42.2 million in fiscal year 2020.
Revenues and other income decreased by 62% to $6.1 million in the fiscal year of 2021 from $16.2 million in the fiscal year of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating lease revenues as a result of reduced rent income from the sale of aircraft during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the whole year of 2021.
In the fiscal year of 2021, we had total operating expenses of $19.2 million as compared to $62.0 million in fiscal year of 2020, primarily comprised of interest expense, professional fees and administrative expenses, depreciation expenses and impairment in value of aircraft after the assets used to settle the liabilities subject to compromise, less interest expense accrued on the Drake Indebtedness after the Company's Chapter 11 filing in late March 2021 and the decreased depreciation expenses.
