('Juridica' or the 'Company')

Portfolio update

Juridica, a leading provider of strategic capital for corporate legal claims to both businesses and the legal markets, provides the following update on developments in its portfolio.

In the Company's Commercial portfolio, US$7.0 million of proceeds were received in December 2013:

-- Case 2510 completed, delivering US$3.0 million on an investment of US$1.0 million; and

-- Case 1610 delivered just over US$4.0 million and is ongoing. Juridica's investment in this case totals US$4.0 million and, in addition, the Company retains a preferred share option over 33% of its client's hard asset, which is being prepared for sale.

In addition, Case 5009-S has been certified for trial and is awaiting assignment of a trial date, which is expected to be in the current calendar year.

Further developments in the Company's Antitrust portfolio include:

-- The trial of Case 8008-L, which was set to begin in the first quarter of 2014, has been delayed following an adverse ruling on the scope of Plaintiffs' claim. Advice has been received to the effect that the ruling is expected to be partially or wholly overturned in favour of the Plaintiff on appeal. While the appeal may cause a nine to eighteen month delay in the completion of the matter, the case could still resolve pending the ruling on appeal. The Company's investment has thus far delivered proceeds to the Company in excess of US$69 million;

-- Case 1208-A is set for trial in the second quarter of 2014. The trial is expected to focus on damages, as liability has already been established at the trial court level and upheld on appeal. Whilst damages claimed exceed US$1.0 billion it is not possible to estimate the Company's share which can only be determined once there is a court award or settlement reached.

-- As previously reported, Case 5208-E is scheduled for trial in the second quarter of 2014; and

-- Case 5308-U is awaiting the setting of a trial date. Pre-trial merits discovery is complete. Challenges to expert opinions remain pending.

In the Patent portfolio, as a result of its strategic relationship with IpCreate, the Company is conducting due diligence on several interesting patent investments, including additional investments in some of its existing patent investments. The Company is also evaluating further antitrust investments and one recently obtained judgment.
