WOW..Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Results of Operations
We continue to focus on growing our patent licensing and barcode infrastructure business. During the three months ended March 2012 and 2011, our operating losses were $835,000and $1.4 million, respectively. Our net loss was ($165.5) million and net income was $8.8 million for the three months ended March 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our net income (loss) includes gains and losses from the change in fair value of our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures. We incur these gains and losses principally as a result of changes in the market value of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reported losses on our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures, totaling ($162.3) and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we reported gains on our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures, totaling $10.9 million. Due to the volatility of our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2012, changes in the fair value of our derivative liabilities have a material impact on our overall net income (loss) which makes quarter and annual comparisons difficult.
