Forward-Looking Statements
 Certain statements herein are forward-looking statements and represent NeuLion's current
 intentions in respect of future activities. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
 the words “will,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” and
 “intend” and statements that an event or result “may,” “will,” “can,” “should,” “could,” or “might”
 occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve significant
 risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this
 presentation are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, we cannot
 assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These
 forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and we assume no
 obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by
 law. Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
 different from any anticipated results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or
 implied by such forward-looking statements, including: our ability to develop and execute on our
 business plan, including further diversifying our customer base; continuing to invest in and expand
 our sports-related business; our ability to integrate the operations of acquired businesses with our
 own; our ability to increase revenue; general economic and market segment conditions; our
 customers’ subscriber levels; the financial health of our customers; our ability to pursue and
 consummate acquisitions in a timely manner; our continued relationships with our customers; our
 ability to negotiate favorable terms for contract renewals; competitor activity; product capability
 and acceptance rates; technology changes; regulatory changes; foreign exchange risk; interest rate
 risk; and credit risk. These factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place
 undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. A more detailed assessment of the risks that
 could cause actual results to materially differ from current expectations is contained in Item 1A,
 “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012,
 which is available on www.sec.gov and filed on www.sedar.com.

State of the Market
 Digital media production, delivery and consumption is
 shifting and expanding globally
, from news to sports
 and entertainment. Broadcasting has become multi-
 dimensional.
 Television consumption has become a new interactive
 and dynamic experience
- it is no longer simply a
 passive activity.
Consumers want to choose when,
 where and how to view media.
They can also produce,
 share and customize their own content and multimedia
 experience.
 Television technology has changed; it is no longer a
 single screen in our living room. 
TVs, computers,
 mobile, gaming devices and tablets are converging
as
 they all become Internet enabled. Video content can
 now be enjoyed on nearly any multimedia device.
