Amortization of patents and website: Amortization expenses were $2,598,461 and $453,647 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $2,144,814 or 473%. The increase results from the significant number of patents and patent portfolios we have added during the last nine months of 2014. The Company has acquired ownership of or contractual rights to ten patent portfolios during the last nine months of 2014. When the Company acquires patents and patent rights, the Company capitalizes the cost of those assets and amortizes those costs over the remaining useful lives of the assets. All patent amortization expenses are non-cash expenses.

Compensation expense and related taxes: Compensation expense includes cash compensation and related payroll taxes and benefits, and non-cash equity compensation expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, compensation expense and related payroll taxes were $1,581,074 and $729,987, an increase of $851,087 or 117%. The increase in compensation primarily reflects bonuses paid during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase in cash compensation, payroll taxes and benefits to our employees, and an increase in the number of employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized non-cash employee and board equity based compensation of $637,308 and $364,526, respectively.

Consulting fees: For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred consulting fees of $896,543 and $428,107, respectively, an increase of $468,436 or 109%. Consulting fees include both cash and non-cash related consulting fees primarily for investor relations and public relations services as well as other consulting services. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized non-cash equity based consulting of $813,248 and $310,351, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, $750,328 of the non-cash equity based consulting expenses are non-recurring.

Professional fees: For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, professional fees were $769,615 and $256,855, respectively, an increase of $512,760 or 200%. Professional fees primarily reflect the costs of professional outside accounting fees, legal fees and audit fees. The increase in professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to professional outside legal, accounting and audit fees resulting from a substantially higher level of activity in the Company’s continuing patent acquisition and monetization operations and the costs associated with closing the Fortress transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized non-cash equity based consulting of $8,527 and $5,750, respectively.

Other general and administrative expenses: For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, other general and administrative expenses were $219,481 and $82,658, respectively, an increase of $136,823 or 166%. General and administrative expenses reflect the other non-categorized operating costs of the Company and include expenses related to being a public company, rent, insurance, technology and other expenses incurred to support the operations of the Company. The increase in general and administrative costs in the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted from an increase in these expenses, including opening an office in Germany, in support of the continued expansion of the operations of the Company.
