LiveWorld, Inc. (OTC Markets: LVWD) today announced financial results for the year of 2021. Total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 were approximately $10.1 million, as compared to the $8.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This was an increase of approximately $1.5 million or 18% when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Healthcare related revenues grew approximately 25% when compared to the twelve months of 2020.
We reported a net income before the forgiveness of our PPP loan for the year of approximately $796,000 or 8% of total revenues. This compares to net income of approximately $366,000 or 4% of total revenues reported for the twelve months of 2020. Total net income after the forgiveness of the PPP loan was approximately $1,822,000 or 18% of revenues.
We finished the year with approximately $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to the approximately $2.6 million at the end of 2020. Our total cash grew approximately 40% from 2020. The cash from operations was approximately $2.5 million for 2021 as compared to the $1.5 million for 2020. The cash grew approximately $1 million or 65% year-over-year.
“Overall 2021 was a successful year for us, with double digit growth for revenues, healthcare related revenues, and cash from operations. We also saw our profits from operations jump 118% compared to 2020,” said David Houston, Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld. “In 2022 we will remain focused on driving revenue growth through our healthcare initiatives, while maintaining positive profit margins.”
LiveWorld received forgiveness for its PPP loan in 2021 and is reporting it as other income. Therefore the statement of operations shows net income from operations and net income after the loan forgiveness.
