Vringo, Inc. reported earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. Cash used for operating activities during the first quarter of 2013 was $4.8 million. Net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $12.0 million, mainly attributable to operating legal costs of $5.1 million, recorded in connection with legal proceedings, as well as $4.3 million of non-cash expenses for amortization and depreciation and non-cash share based compensation. On a per share basis, net loss was $0.15 per basic share in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to a loss of $0.43 per basic share in the first quarter of 2012 (pre-merger figures). The decrease in basic loss per share was mostly due to an increase in the number of shares, partly offset by increased costs reflecting the post-merger operations of the combined company.
