Message: PTSC's Future

Told ya I wasn't an accountant...my post is wrong as pointed out by my very good accounting friend! But, PTSC isn't a 5 man company either because it includes the expense of SSDI (which is another 18 employees I think?).

From page 24 of 10Q

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from approximately $2,733,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2006 to approximately $1,988,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007. Legal expenses decreased by approximately $127,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007 compared with the three months ended August 31, 2006 and accounting expenses increased by approximately $70,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007 compared with the three months ended August 31, 2006 primarily due to fees for the audits of our affiliate, consolidated variable interest entity and the completion of the testing of our internal controls. Salary costs and related expenses included non-cash expenses associated with the fair value of options granted during the period in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. During the three months ended August 31, 2007, options were granted to our newly-appointed chief executive officer pursuant to terms of his employment contract, those option grants plus the related vesting on the grants resulted in non-cash compensation expense of approximately $170,000.

During the three months ended August 31, 2006, 1,500,000 options were granted to our then chief executive officer resulting in a non-cash compensation expense amounting to approximately $1,527,000.

Consulting expenses increased by approximately $27,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2006 due to one time fees for evaluations of our various technologies and expenses associated with our production of materials for the upcoming litigation.

No such expenses were recorded for the three months ended August 31, 2006. Our other income and expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 included equity in the earnings and loss of PDS. The investment is accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting for investments. Our investment in PDS for the three months ended August 31, 2007 generated a loss after expenses in the amount of approximately $1,201,000 resulting from licensing agreements for our intellectual property with Lego Systems and Bull for one time payments. Our investment in PDS provided net income after expenses in the amount of approximately $12,070,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2006.

Interest income and other income increased from approximately $127,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2006 to approximately $475,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007 as interest bearing account balances increased from cash received as distributions from our investment in PDS and we recognized other income of approximately $227,000 in connection with our reimbursement request billings to PDS for our prior period legal expenses incurred in connection with the patent litigation. During the three months ended August 31, 2007, SSDI recognized $150,000 of other income in connection with the sale of a portion of its interest in Holocom MultiDomain Computers, LLC, now known as DataSecurus, LLC.

Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
