Diversinet Reports Third Quarter 2005 Financial Results
~ New Channel and Customer Wins Broaden Distribution for MobiSecure Product Suite ~
TORONTO, CANADA: November 10, 2005: Diversinet Corp. (OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of personal authentication and security solutions for the wireless world, today announced its financial results for third quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2005 Diversinet continued its strategic focus on building a distribution network for the mass-market provisioning and management of its MobiSecure™ soft tokens, designed to protect individuals, companies and enterprises from online security threats.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $258,000, compared to $720,000 in the third quarter of 2004. Cash used in continuing operations for the third quarter was $650,000, a decrease from the $705,000 used in the third quarter of 2004 and $661,000 in the second quarter of 2005. The net loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $3,323,000, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $660,000 or $0.05 per share in the third quarter of 2004. Included in the third quarter net loss are stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment charges and customer asset impairment charges of $2,589,000 ($358,000 in Q3 2004). In early 2005, Diversinet deemphasized its professional service efforts to focus primarily on its MobiSecure suite of products. In February 2005 Diversinet sold the assets of DSS, its systems integration provider, and during the third quarter Diversin et wrote off all the remaining goodwill and customer assets for Caradas, its smart card solution division. With the completion of a $2 million private placement in September, cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2005 were $2,570,000.
“We are very focused and strategically well positioned to deliver mass-market provisioning of our MobiSecure soft token authenticators onto any mobile phone, PDA or PC and through any network to combat phishing, identity theft, online fraud and identity misrepresentation worldwide.” states Nagy Moustafa, CEO of Diversinet.
Current market and industry trends indicate the need for consumer-based strong authentication adoption is rapidly evolving. Governments globally are mandating strong authentication for online banking to combat fraud such as phishing and identity theft. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, 2.4 million consumers reported losing money directly because of phishing attacks. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission logged 635,000 consumer complaints for fraud and identity theft last year, with 61% for fraud and 39% for identity theft.
Additionally, as a result of the recent Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) report “Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment”, jointly released with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), banks and other financial institutions offering consumers the ability to conduct transactions over the Internet are expected to deploy some form of two-factor authentication to meet these new federal security requirements by the end of 2006. Diversinet’s low-cost, highly scaleable mass-market MobiSecure product offerings will be an attractive solution for broad-based consumer strong authentication deployments.
Diversinet’s unique combination of client software and wireless provisioning services enables the issuance and management of mobile device authentication tokens and also create a technology platform from which Diversinet can provide an entirely new and powerful set of capabilities in the mobile e-commerce environment in the form of digital identities, digital permissions and wireless wallets. Based on channel partner and customer feedback, a variety of wireless wallet types could be provisioned by Diversinet including: authentication wallets for soft tokens; credential wallets for age verification and identity cards; payment wallets for stored value, credit, and debit card permissions; and loyalty wallets for advertising, rewards and coupon permissions. Diversinet is well positioned to benefit from these emerging opportunities.
Third quarter 2005 channel and customer highlights include:
-
The Company entered into an agreement with SanDisk® Corporation, the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, to include MobiSecure on SanDisk's TrustedFlash(TM) Cards. The solution is part of SanDisk's initiative to add to the capabilities of its flash cards beyond storage.
-
The Company entered into an agreement with Gemplus, a world-leading provider of smart card solutions, to integrate Diversinet's MobiSecure OATH-compliant mobile authentication solutions within Gemplus solutions for wireless carriers. The product is slated to launch in early 2006.
-
Magna Entertainment Corp. (MEC), North America's number one owner and operator of horse racetracks, selected MobiSecure to secure MEC customers' mobile betting transactions. MobiSecure will allow MEC to strongly authenticate bettors whether they use cellular, WiFi, Internet or on-track devices. Diversinet's product will also support geo-fencing and age verification, two important issues in the regulation of mobile betting.
The Company’s corporate developments highlights include:
-
The Company completed a $2 million oversubscribed private placement funding, which included new institutional investors. In total, Company insiders purchased 45% of the shares offered. Net proceeds will be used for working capital purposes, commercialization activities and enhanced product development with channel partners and direct customers.
-
The Company introduced a two-factor authentication multi-token wallet for Symbian OS phones. Diversinet’s MobiSecure Multi-Token Wallet allows consumers to load as many strong authentication credentials as they need into their Symbian OS mobile phones.
-
The Company announced Over-The-Air (OTA) provisioning and lifecycle management services for OATH-compliant soft tokens. MASC offers secure OTA provisioning of multiple credentials with the MobiSecure Multi-Token Wallet; efficient OTA provisioning auto-detect features that determines the user’s device type without requiring any input from the user; enhancements for automated OTA provisioning and end-user life-cycle management; and capabilities to embed specific user information into any MobiSecure soft token at the time of provisioning to significantly enhance its value in consumer applications for age verification, loyalty programs and mobile payments.
Diversinet’s MobiSecure products and services leverage more than two billion mobile devices and PCs as strong authentication tokens. Diversinet’s MobiSecure soft tokens and Mobile Authentication Service Center (MASC) offerings are available on the leading intelligent mobile device platforms, including Symbian, Microsoft, RIM, Palm and Java-based phones as well as on personal computers running Microsoft Windows operating system. Additionally, the Company is extending its reach into innovative consumer appliances by supporting SanDisk flash-memory cards and Gemplus SIM card mobile enabled devices.

DIVERSINET CORP.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts expressed in US dollars)
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005
Diversinet Corp (the “Company”), an Ontario corporation, develops and markets secured wireless and identity management solutions and professional services for the mobile data eco-system.
1.
Future Operations
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue in operation in the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in its normal course of business. Certain conditions and events exist that cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has incurred significant losses and used significant amounts of cash in operating activities in recent years. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2005 of $2,569,891 may be insufficient to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.
Continued operations depend upon the Company’s ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain additional financing to fund future operations and, ultimately, to generate positive cash flows from operating activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing.
Should the Company be unable to generate positive cash flows from operations or secure additional financing in the foreseeable future, the application of the going concern principle for financial statement reporting purposes may no longer be appropriate. These interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the valuation or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Significant accounting policies
a)
Basis of presentation
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared, on a consistent basis with the December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2005 and the statements of loss and deficit and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The disclosures contained in these unaudited financial statements do not include all requirements of GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
b)
Goodwill and customer assets
The Company uses the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The Company evaluates all business combinations for intangible assets that must be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis, or when certain triggering events occur. During the first quarter of 2005 $392,242 relating to the DSS reporting unit was included in the determination of the loss on disposition of discontinued operations. During the third quarter of 2005, a Caradas customer contract expired and accordingly a goodwill and customer asset impairment analysis was performed for the Caradas reporting unit. The impairment analysis indicated that the fair values of goodwill and customer assets were nil, and the Company recorded a goodwill write down of $1,894,690, and a customer assets write down of $330,768.
3.
Discontinued operations
In February 2005 the Company’s subsidiary DSS Software Technologies (DSS) completed an agreement whereby it sold the majority of its current assets, capital assets, current liabilities, consultant and customer accounts for $250,000. Diversinet is entitled to a five-year annual fee of up to $120,000 per year based on meeting certain gross profit and net profit criteria of the purchaser. These amounts will be recorded as income from discontinued operations, if and when received.
The results of DSS have been excluded from continuing operations in the statements of operations and deficit for all periods presented. The following summarises the impact of discontinued operations on the balance sheet and statement of operations and deficit for all periods presented.

The loss on disposition of discontinued operations includes the elimination of the related goodwill of $392,242.
During the third quarter of 2004 the Company settled a dispute with a former shareholder of DSS and received 50,000 Diversinet common shares (with a fair value of $21,000) and the elimination of the promissory note payable of $150,000, which was recorded as a reduction of discontinued expenses in the table above. Additional future cash considerations of $800,000 based on achievement of certain financial targets were also eliminated.

On September 26, 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 and issued 71,250 common share purchase warrants to our placement agent. The warrants expire on September 26, 2008 and are exercisable at $0.40 per share. This transaction was effected as a private placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will use the net proceeds of that private placement for ongoing sales operations, working capital purposes, to continue our research and development activities and for general corporate purposes.
In February 2005 the Company’s subsidiary, DSS Software Technologies (DSS) completed an asset sale agreement whereby it sold the majority of its current assets, capital assets, current liabilities, consultant and customer accounts for $250,000. Diversinet is entitled to a five year annual fee of up to $120,000 per year based on certain gross profit and net profit criteria of the purchaser. With the sale of DSS, we have included the results of DSS as a single line item (‘discontinued operations’) in the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Deficit on a retroactive basis.
Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we reported revenue of $258,000 compared to revenue of $720,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 was $942,000 compared to $2,184,000 for 2004. During the first nine months of 2005 we recognized nil from licensing compared to $329,000 for the comparable period in 2004. We recognized $942,000 from consulting services for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $1,855,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During the third quarter of 2005 we received notice from one of our customers that they would not be renewing our contract to provide test lab services. This customer represented $474,000 in revenues over the trailing twelve month period. In January 2005 Diversinet began to focus on the evolving protection and trust needs of mobile users. These financial results reflect this shift in focus and the time required to build up a customer base under this new strategy and a rebuilding of the sales and marketing outlook of the company.
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $89,000 (or gross margin of 66%) compared with $333,000 (or gross margin of 54%) for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $550,000 (or gross margin of 42%) compared with $1,160,000 (or gross margin of 47%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This represents the direct costs associated with completing the software solutions and consulting services revenue. The changes in the gross margins for 2005 are due in part to the completion of a project during the second quarter for $180,000, for which we are recognizing the revenue monthly over the next two quarters. The costs have been expensed as incurred.
Research and development expenses increased to $351,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $302,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004. Research and development expenses decreased to $932,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $944,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease is in part due to the allocation of certain R&D staff expenses to revenue generating projects.
Sales and marketing expenses were $267,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $279,000 in the third quarter of 2004. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $936,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $1,058,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, largely due to a reduction in expenditures relating to the elimination of our Hong Kong office.
General and administrative expenses were $536,000 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $501,000 incurred during the similar period of 2004. General and administrative expenses were $1,798,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,844,000 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Included in the nine months 2004 expenses are $151,000 relating to the Sunrise Securities compensation expense for investor relations and business development services. On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3870, requiring the Company to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and to expense the fair value over the estimated vesting period of the stock options and warrant grants. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 we recorded $223,000 ($170,000 - 2004) for stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 20 05 we recorded $804,000 ($505,000 - 2004). During 2005 we reduced our stock option vesting period from three years to two years (which has correspondingly shortened the expense amortization period) and also started to compensate our Directors with stock grants or cash and option grants. This has increased our compensation expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2005 was $140,000 compared to $188,000 in the third quarter of 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased to $492,000 from $588,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. With the sale of the DSS assets in February 2005, we expect to see reduced depreciation and amortization.
During the third quarter of 2005, we received notice from one of our customers stating that they would not be renewing our contract to provide test lab services. Therefore, with there being no continuing customers from the September 2003 Caradas purchase date and with our evolving protection and trust needs of mobile users, we determined that net customer assets were impaired under the fair value based methodology as prescribed under GAAP. We have recorded a customer asset impairment charge of $331,000 (nil- 2004). In consideration of the adverse change noted above, we completed our goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2005. As Caradas has been unable to attract significant new customers in order to generate positive cash flows, we determined that the fair value of our goodwill exceeded its carrying value by $1,895,000 as at September 30, 2005. An impairment charge has been recorded in the curren t period.
We reported a loss from discontinued operations of $99,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a net income of $50,000 in the prior year’s comparative period. In February 2005 DSS completed an agreement whereby it sold the majority of its current assets, capital assets, current liabilities, consultant and customer accounts for $250,000. With the sale of the DSS assets, we have included the results of DSS as a single line item (‘discontinued operations’) in the financial statements. During the first quarter of 2005, with the sale of DSS’ assets, goodwill from the acquisition of DSS of $392,000 has been included in determining the loss on disposition.
We reported a net loss of $3,323,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $660,000 in the prior year’s third quarter. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $6,080,000 compared to $3,351,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increased net loss is due in part to the impact of lower revenues and the goodwill impairment charge of $1,895,000 and $331,000 customer asset impairment charged reported in the third quarter of 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2005 were $2,570,000 compared with $372,000 at September 30, 2004. Short term investments, being marketable bonds with a term of less than 90 days that could be converted into cash, at September 30, 2005 were nil compared to $451,000 at September 30, 2004. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments for the third quarter of 2005 was $1,218,000 compared to a decrease of $685,000 for the third quarter of 2004.
The usage for Q3 2005 is mainly due to operating activities, which used cash in an amount of $652,000 ($2,000 used by discontinued operations and $650,000 used in continuing operations).
On September 26, 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 and issued 71,250 common share purchase warrants to our placement agent. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of $0.40 per common share for a period of three years from September 26, 2005. During the quarter the Board approved an incentive plan, based on achievement of certain milestones, for the entire management team and employees consisting of up to $2,000,000 in cash and 2,000,000 nominal value warrants.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2005 of $2,570,000 may be insufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements over the next year. We plan to raise additional amounts to meet our working capital requirements through private or public financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. However, additional funding may not be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we enter into strategic relationships to raise additional funds, we may be required to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies. Our failure to either raise capital when needed or to generate revenues would leave us with insufficient resources to continue our business.
The following table presents unaudited selected financial data for each of the last eight quarters ending September 30, 2005:
| Revenue for the period | Loss from continuing operations | Loss (income) from discontinued operations | Loss for the period | Loss per share from continuing operations | Loss per share |
| ($000’s) | ($000’s) | ($000’s) | ($000’s) | ($) | ($) |
September 30, 2005 | 258 | 3,371 | (48) | 3,323 | 0.17 | 0.17 |
June 30, 2005 | 330 | 1,453 | 5 | 1,458 | 0.08 | 0.08 |
March 31, 2005 | 354 | 1,068 | 141 | 1,299 | 0.06 | 0.07 |
December 31, 2004 | 419 | 3,574 | 592 | 4,166 | 0.27 | 0.31 |
September 30, 2004 | 720 | 908 | (247) | 660 | 0.07 | 0.05 |
June 30, 2004 | 611 | 1,265 | 82 | 1,347 | 0.10 | 0.11 |
March 31, 2004 | 853 | 1,228 | 115 | 1,343 | 0.10 | 0.11 |
December 31, 2003 | 541 | 2,289 | (25) | 2,264 | 0.21 | 0.21 |
The September 30, 2005 quarterly loss is higher than previous quarters largely due to the inclusion of a goodwill impairment change of $1,895,000 and a customer asset impairment charge of $331,000. The December 31, 2004 quarterly loss is higher than previous quarters largely due to the inclusion of a goodwill impairment charge of $3,025,000 and $145,000 of depreciation and amortization charge relating to the joint venture. While fourth quarter 2004 revenues were less than fourth quarter 2003, the loss for the period, net of the goodwill impairment charge and joint venture charge of $996,000 is consistent with other recent quarterly losses.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of intangible assets, including customer assets and purchased technology, and goodwill impairment. In making such estimates and assumptions, management consults with employees knowledgeable in the area; gathers relevant information; where appropriate, seeks advice from qualified third parties; and, makes judgments, which in the opinion at that time, represent fair, balanced and appropriate conservative estimates and assumptions.
In the first nine months of 2005, we did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls. We periodically review our internal controls for effectiveness and we plan to conduct an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures each quarter. Other important accounting policies are described in note 2 to our 2004 audited consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Our Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted or anticipated. These risks are described in our F-1 and annual Form 20-F filed with the SEC in the United States atwww.sec.gov and filed on SEDAR in Canada atwww.sedar.com. We encourage you to review these filings in order to evaluate an investment in our securities. Some key risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted or anticipated are listed below.
Financial resources: The attached consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis that assumes that the Company will continue in operation in the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The projected cash flows for the company are based upon assumptions that include, amongst others, a revenue stream from wireless security and identity management solutions and the success of future external financing initiatives. Should these projects be delayed then the present working capital would not be sufficient for the company to continue in the normal course of operations.
In recognition of these concerns, management is considering various revenue and cost management alternatives and may consider raising additional cash through external financing activities. It is not possible at this time to predict with any assurance the success of these initiatives.
Our ability to continue operations may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. Although we have made progress in developing our solutions and have completed initial consumer deployments, our revenue from operations is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses at present and may be unlikely to be sufficient within fiscal 2006. We have obtained funding for operations from private placements in the past, but there is no assurance we will be able to do so again in the near future despite the progress of the business. Our failure to either raise capital when needed or to generate revenues would leave us with insufficient resources to continue our business.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have varied substantially in the past and are likely to vary substantially from quarter to quarter and year to year in the future due to a variety of factors. In particular, our period-to-period operating results are significantly dependent upon the sale of license agreements and the continued success in providing professional services for the evolving protection and trust needs of mobile users. In this regard, the purchase of our solutions often requires our customers to make a significant capital investment, which customers may view as a discretionary cost and, therefore, a purchase that can be deferred or cancelled due to budgetary or other business reasons. Furthermore, our ability to continue providing professional services is dependent upon being able to provide value added resources at reasonable rates. Estimating future revenues is also difficult because we ship our prod ucts upon receipt of a signed license agreement and, therefore, we do not have a backlog. Thus, quarterly and annual license revenues are heavily dependent upon agreements finalized and software shipped within the same quarter or year. We expect these revenue patterns to continue for the foreseeable future, until recurring revenue becomes a significant portion of total revenue. Despite the uncertainties in our revenue patterns, our operating expenses are based upon anticipated revenue levels and such expenses are incurred on an approximately rateable basis throughout the quarter. As a result, if expected revenues are delayed or otherwise not realized in a quarter for any reason, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected in a significant way.
If our common shares should become ineligible for continued quotation on the OTC BB or a public trading market does not continue for any reason, holders of our common shares may have difficulty selling their shares. Our common shares became ineligible for continued quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and are now trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board; therefore holders of our common shares will have difficulty selling their shares. Our common shares were quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market from June 1995 through late April 2003.
Our common shares may continue to be penny stock, which may adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common shares are currently penny stock.
Commercial deployment: The ability of the Company to continue operations is also dependent on the acceptance of its security and identity management solutions and the adoption of transaction-based applications over wireless networks as an accepted method of commerce in sufficient volume for us to generate enough revenues to fund our expenses and capital requirements. The wireless mobile commerce market is in a very early stage and it may not develop to a sufficient level to support our business.
Dependence on key customers; concentration of credit: The loss of any key customer and our inability to replace revenues provided by a key customer may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customer base includes large financial institutions. As a result, we maintain individually significant receivable balances due from them. If these customers fail to meet their payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. As of September 30, 2005, four customers accounted for 20%, 23%, 30% and 27% of our total accounts receivable. There are no other customers with more than 10% of our total accounts receivable.
Foreign exchange: Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Sales generated outside Canada are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. During 2005 year to date and fiscal 2004, we incurred a portion of our expenses in U.S. dollars, but we also incurred a portion of our expenses in other currencies including Canadian dollars and Euros. Changes in the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may result in currency losses that may have an adverse effect on our operating results. With the completion of our financing in September 2005, we have a portion of our cash resources in U.S. dollars and in Canadian dollars. During 2005 year to date and fiscal 2004 we maintained a portion of our cash resources in both U.S. and Canadian dollar term deposits.
Litigation: Our Company has been named as a defendant in various proceedings arising in the course of our Company’s activities and arising from transactions relating to a previous business operated by our Company. Litigation arising from these matters may be time consuming, distracting and expensive. An adverse resolution to any of these proceedings may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. After quarter end, in October 2005, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries settled an outstanding suit from October 2002 for $7,500. The wholly owned subsidiary was being sued in Bankruptcy Court in California by a company alleging the subsidiary received preferential payments. The plaintiff was seeking to receive $328,000.
