"We are pleased with our results and progress in the first quarter of 2014 as we continue to execute our strategy of driving revenue and reducing our liabilities," commented Oleg Firer, Chief Executive Officer of Net Element.

First Quarter 2014 Results

Net revenues were $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net revenues is primarily a result of the purchase of Unified Payments, LLC in April 2013.

Operating activities provided approximately $0.7 million of cash for three months ended March 31, 2014, contrasted with $7.2 million of cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.6 million as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The most significant increase in operating cash flow was caused by increased cash collections in TOT Money due to collection on billings in the current period as the business and operations of TOT Money are re-organized to replace its billing system and involvement of our former general director of TOT Money. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, accounts receivable and advances to aggregators provided $4.5 million in operating cash flow as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 which used $4.8 million for accounts receivable and advances to aggregators.

We reported a net loss of $3.6 million or ($0.11) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared with a net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.11) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Loss from continuing operations (including loss attributable to the non-controlling interest) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.6 million or ($0.11) per share as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.9 million or ($.10) per share for three months ended March 31, 2013. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily resulted from our impairment of goodwill, increase in provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses.

Total liabilities decreased to $34.9 million at March 31, 2014 from $37.9 million at March 31, 2013. The exchange of our 10% interest in T1T Lab for the note due to T1T for $1.1 million is the primary driver of the reduction in related party payables. Additionally, our factoring agreement with Alfa Bank in Russia was reduced by $1.1 million to $7.4 million at March 31, 2014 versus $8.5 million at December 31, 2013 as we migrated to our own billing system and began using a new sales force directly managed by Net Element.

Additional information regarding Net Element's results of operations for its first-quarter ended March 31, 2014 may be found in Net Element's quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 15, 2014 and may be obtained from the SEC's Internet website at http://www.sec.gov.
