1) On January 19, 2011, pursuant to our settlement agreement with TPL, PDS agreed to pay TPL $67,000 per month from September 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 relating to TPL’s special work and effort regarding internal costs related to litigation support and patent re-examinations.
2)At April 7, 2011, PDS’ cash and cash equivalents balance was $1,392,328. Management has concluded that PDS’ equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities as the volume of license revenue has not supported litigation costs independent of additional working capital funding.
We have not provided financial support to PDS other than required capital contributions and we are not contractually obligated to provide financial support to PDS other than to fund the working capital account at the discretion of PDS’ management committee. In the event we, and not TPL, provide working capital funding to PDS we would consolidate PDS’ financials with our own as our ownership in PDS would be greater than 50%.
