Internet Patents Corporation (NASDAQ: PTNT) today reported
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
"During the third quarter we initiated two lawsuits against The
General Automobile Insurance Services, Inc. and Active Network
alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,707,505 entitled
'Dynamic Tabs for a Graphical User Interface,'" said Hussein Enan,
Chairman and CEO of Internet Patents Corporation. "We also continue
to pursue the lawsuits filed in the previous quarter alleging
infringement of our Event Log patent, and we continue to review and
identify other potential infringers of our strong portfolio of
e-commerce patents."
Operating Highlights
As of the quarter ended September 30, 2012:
- In its third quarter of operating a patent licensing business,
the Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $411,000 or
$0.05 per share.
- Total operating expenses of $473,000 were lower than the
Company's target range of $0.6 to $0.7 million. Management expects
operating expenses for the foreseeable future to be between $0.5
million and $0.6 million per quarter.
- Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $33.9
million, which includes $1.0 million in restricted short-term
investments.
- The number of shares of Internet Patents Corporation common
stock issued and outstanding was 7,751,952. Options representing a
total of 231,666 shares of common stock remain outstanding and
exercisable as of that same date.
- Net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards were approximately
$140.6 million and $83.7 million for federal income tax and state
income tax purposes, respectively. Included in these amounts are
unrealized federal and state net operating loss deductions
resulting from stock option exercises of approximately $10.1
million each. The benefit of these unrealized stock option-related
deductions has not been included in deferred tax assets and will be
recognized as a credit to additional paid-in capital when realized.
Federal and state net operating loss carry forwards begin expiring
in 2012.
