Reducing Cash Burn Rate Major Focus for the Company 18 Q4-2011 Q1-2012 Q2-2012 Q3-2012 Q4-2012 Q1-2013 Loss from Operations (6.563)$ (5.848)$ (5.429)$ (5.099)$ (5.138)$ (4.180)$ Depreciation and Amortization 1.261$ 1.278$ 1.225$ 1.263$ 1.944$ 1.320$ Stock-based Compensation 1.219$ 1.692$ 1.539$ 1.709$ 1.362$ 1.411$ Impairment 523$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ Adjusted EBITDA (as filed) (3.561)$ (2.878)$ (2.665)$ (2.126)$ (1.832)$ (1.449)$ * Adjusted Ebitda is a non-gaap measure Figures may not tie due to roundings

 
 

Putting losses in the Right P erspective 19 ▪ Over the last 7 years we reported $196m in losses. ▪ Of these losses, $87m were all non - cash expensing/accounting losses, mostly result of derivative accounting rules (US GAAP). ▪ Balance of losses, $109m, to be split into: • $54m non - cash, 50% depreciation, 50% staff compensation, • $5m cash interest expense, • $50m cash operational expenses: a reflection of our investments in development and building our in - house core competencies (software, codes, patents, integration know how). ▪ These $50m losses, thus basically investments of in - house core competencies, would for a large extent have been classified as CAPEX, if we had relied on 3 rd party vendors (on the top of the $22m in real CAPEX).
