Operating expenses were $2,107,461 for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $3,078,226 for the third quarter of 2008, as restated.

During the quarter, ANTs engaged in many go to market activities as a result of its OEM relationship with a Global IT Vendor. The company believes there are 12 large organizations that are potential candidates to become “Early Access” or “Beta” users of the technology ANTs is currently developing for the Global IT Vendor. Confidentiality provisions of the OEM agreement preclude the naming of the potential users as well as the naming of the Global IT Vendor and the actual timing of the release of the technology that is currently being developed.
Joe Kozak, Chief Executive Officer of ANTs Software, said, “During the third quarter we continued to work towards delivery of a custom ANTs Compatibility Server product under the new OEM agreement that we signed with a major, Global IT Vendor. We believe that all of the work and investment that we have made in development of the ACS product through the years leading up to this agreement will begin to deliver value for shareholders as we deliver the product and go to market with our OEM partner in 2010.”
