Operating Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2013

• As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $33.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. We expect these funds will be sufficient to support our current operations and allow timely execution of our current business plans.  

• Our average monthly use of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $2.0 million per month. We expect this figure to decrease in 2014 and believe that our cash balance is sufficient for Vringo to operate through 2014 and 2015, conservatively without budgeting for a significant revenue event. 

• During 2013, we recorded revenues of $1.1 million.  

• Our net loss from continuing operations was approximately $41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, mainly attributable to the following: 

  • Operating legal costs of $20.0 million, mainly in connection with ongoing litigations against ZTE Corporation, Google, Inc., ASUSTeK Computer, Inc., and certain of their affiliates and customers, and other planned enforcements of our intellectual property.   

  • General and administrative and other expenses of $6.3 million.   

  • Non-cash expense of approximately $12.0 million related to equity-based compensation. 

  • Non-cash expense of approximately $3.4 million related to the amortization of our patents. 

• On December 31, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement with Infomedia Services Ltd. ("Infomedia") for the sale of our mobile social application business. The transaction closed on February 18, 2014 upon which we received an equity stake of approximately 8% of Infomedia.  

• Our net loss from discontinued operations was approximately $10.7 million mostly driven by a one-time non-cash impairment charge of approximately $7.3 million in connection with the sale of our mobile social application business. 

• On a per share basis, our total net loss (from both continuing and discontinuing operations) increased by 19% to $0.63 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $0.53 per basic share reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in basic loss per share was mostly driven by increases in operating legal costs and the one-time impairment charge related to the sale of our mobile social application business.
