The audited financial results contain no qualification and no adverse findings and are consistent with the Company's previous financial disclosures and reports. They follow an extensive review of the business and financial affairs of the Company that was undertaken by several highly reputable firms, including the global law firm of Shearman & Sterling LLP. assisted by Deloitte & Touche Financial Advisory Services Limited, and Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP, the Company's independent auditor. The Audit Committee of the Company was further assisted in completing the audit by its counsel DLA Piper LLP and IT forensic firms Control Risks Group and Stroz Friedberg.

Among many other conclusions,


    --  The Company's cash (and cash equivalents) of approximately $283 million
        as of December 31, 2013 was verified and found consistent with public
        disclosures and major expenditures were confirmed as having been
        incurred for legitimate business purposes.
    --  The Company's acquisitions were evaluated using reasonable metrics and
        internal due diligence processes, and those acquisitions have
        contributed to increasing the Company's revenue and user traffic.
    --  The Audit Committee was able to conclude that there was no evidence of
        an effort within the Company to delete any documents relevant to the
        Special Committee's investigation. Additional, highly specialized,
        forensic examination of devices where there was an indication that
        information might be missing as identified by the Special Committee was
        conducted by Control Risks Group, at the direction of DLA Piper LLP, and
        the examination protocol was reviewed by Stroz Friedberg. As a result of
        this examination, Control Risks Group and DLA Piper LLP were able to
        recover and review many files from the subject devices that were deleted
        prior to and subsequent to the publication of the Muddy Waters report
        but prior to the collection of data from those devices by the Special
        Committee. None were relevant to the fraud allegations or the Special
        Committee's investigation.
