Company to Host Conference Call Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 4:30 pm ET

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., November 14, 2012 – ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRKR), a developer and marketer of semiconductor technology solutions for wireless applications, today reported operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, also $0.06 per share, for the same period in 2011. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.7 million, also $0.19 per share, for the same period in 2011. The increase in net loss for the three and nine month periods is primarily the result of litigation-related expenses and increases in non-cash share-based compensation.

As of September 30, 2012 the Company had $13.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and available for sale securities following the September 19, 2012 sale of approximately $9.2 million in equity securities.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company used approximately $9.9 million in cash for operations, including litigation related expenses, and invested an additional $1.0 million in patents and fixed assets.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Parker, commented, “In addition to the continuation of our chip development efforts and our support of the Qualcomm patent infringement litigation this past quarter, we have also focused a substantial amount of our attention on the exploration of strategies for capitalizing on our innovations.   We believe 3LP Advisors, working in concert with some of the other professionals on our team, will provide added leverage and expertise to these efforts.”
