Patriot Scientific Stock Rocked by U. S. Supreme Court Decision; Market Interprets Ruling as Negative for Patriot and Creates
Buying Opportunity Strong Speculative Buy Reiterated
Patriot Scientific Corporation (Patriot Scientific) common stock tumbled June 9, 2008, declining to an intra-day low of $0.17 per share,
before closing at $0.21 per share on volume of 6.5 million shares. The stock seems to have based yesterday, June 10, 2008, when it
traded between the range of $0.195 and $0.208 per share on volume of 1.1 million shares. There are times in the stock market when
selling begets selling and this appears to have been the case on June10, 2008.
The ruling that prompted the selling yesterday concerned the case Quanta v. LG Electronics, 06-937, that was before the Supreme
Court. A brief summary of the case is that a South Korean company, LG Electronics Inc., licensed some of its patents to Intel Corp. LG
then sued some of Intel's customers for patent infringement, saying they owed royalties to LG because the customers combined Intel's
microprocessors and chipsets with non-Intel products. The Intel customers are computer system manufacturers that include Taiwanbased
Quanta Computer Inc. System manufacturers who sell to industry brand names such as Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co.,
International Business Machines Corp., and Gateway Inc. The decision has been interpreted as limiting the ability of companies to
collect multiple royalties on their patents, and the unanimous decision was seen as positive for customers of Intel Corp. and is the latest
step by the justices to scale back the power of patent holders.
However, after consulting with patent attorneys familiar with this case, we believe the Quanta Supreme Court ruling will have little or no
effect on future PTSC/TPL patent license activity. Furthermore, the affect of this court decision on the past licenses granted by Patriot to
Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD-$7.50), Intel (NasdaqGM:INTC-$22.80), and the additional 44 licenses granted by the TPL group
should be minimal.
SUMMARY
This Supreme Court decision comes at a time when investors are awaiting results of the review by the U.S Patent and Trade Office of
certain patents in the Moore Microprocessor Patent™ (MMP) portfolio which has been deeded to Alliacense, a TPL Group entity, which
is responsible for executing best-in-class design and implementation of intellectual property licensing programs. Furthermore, there
have been no new announcements of licenses since April 28, 2008, when it was announced that Onkyo Corporation purchased a MMP
portfolio license from The TPL Group.
At the current stock price level, Patriot Scientific is selling at approximately 3.4 times the cash balances on the balance sheet as of
February 29, 2008. In addition there should be additional cash payments to Patriot from TPL Group for MMP licenses granted after
February 28, 2008, that include Mattel, Inc. (NYSE:MAT-$20.00); Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (NYSE:EYE-$22.50); Direct TV; Citizen
Holdings Co., Ltd.; Gerber Scientific; Emerson Radio (NYSE:EMR-$56.00); Research in Motion (NasdaqGM:RIMM-$135.00); and
Onkyo.
We realize that Patriot Scientific's current market value may put a crimp in its stated merger and acquisition strategy, however, we
believe the present price of Patriot Scientific's common stock has more than discounted any long term negative effect of the court ruling
and the upcoming results of the USPTO patent review. We reiterate our Strong Speculative Buy Rating and reaffirm our $0.55 per share
price target.

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Patriot Scientific Corp. (OTCBB:PTSC) today issued the following letter to all shareholders.
To all shareholders and supporters of Patriot Scientific, the purpose of this letter is to update you on the impact of several recent public announcements that have had a downside effect on Patriot’s stock price.
In this update, I will summarize my current understanding, based on discussions with our legal team, of the recent public announcements by the Supreme Court and its ruling on LG vs Quanta, ARM, regarding the ‘584 patent infringement ruling, the upcoming MMP™ portfolio patent re-examination process and future MMP™ portfolio licensing activities.
While I understand that I may not answer all of your questions, I will try to clarify some points for you:
Supreme Court ruling on LG vs Quanta - The Supreme Court, earlier this week, handed down a ruling denying chip licensors the chance to secure additional fees from chip component users (system suppliers) if not specifically covered in the contract. TPL has focused the MMP Licensing Program on system suppliers not chip suppliers and accordingly, the ruling does not have a significant impact on TPL’s strategy.
ARM litigation and PR – The ARM appeal was based on a Stipulation of non-infringement of the ‘584, not on any ruling that the patent is invalid as implied on ARM’s website. The USPTO re-examination of the ‘584 patent will probably not be completed for months. ARM’s web release is misleading, if not inaccurate.
Patent re-examinations for ‘148, ‘336, ‘584 and ‘749 – Late last year the USPTO began the patent re-examination process for four key patents in the MMP™ portfolio. This is a time-consuming, detailed process that can take months, even years. The company cannot forecast the progress nor the eventual outcome. The review process is a lengthy one as each patent has different issues to consider. However, the prevailing conventional wisdom, supported by statistical data such as the recent study by Pat Choate, noted economist and student of the patent system, is that the vast majority of re-examination proceedings result in the strengthening of the patent being re-examined. This study will be posted on both TPL’s and Patriot’s websites for your review.
MMP™ portfolio licensing activities – TPL has announced 13 licensees since the December J3 settlements were concluded. While I understand the on-going disappointment of the shareholders who held high expectations for the J3 negotiations, the MMP™ portfolio licensing effort is alive and well. We expect TPL/Alliacense will continue to pursue and close new licensees.
I am, as we all are, frustrated and concerned about the downward direction in the company’s stock, the decline fueled by the current uncertainties affecting the Company’s key asset, the MMP™ portfolio.
In recent weeks the company has maintained its share buyback program, actively buying shares in the open market, as we view the current price at an attractive level to buyback shares. The company, however, has a daily share purchase limit set by the SEC, and our actions to support the stock are a mere “drop in the ocean” on high volume days like we experienced on Monday, June 9. Since the April resumption of the buy-back program, the company has purchased more than 2.8 million shares.
As for concerns regarding Patriot’s financial condition, we have cash, no debt, a public company presence with access to public equity funds and the ability to transition into a viable operating company going forward. We are making good progress in identifying, assessing and positioning future M&A transactions as I will outline in more detail in my shareholder letter later this month.
I look forward to your constructive feedback and will attempt to clarify issues that can be disclosed to the extent of my ability.
Sincerely,
Rick Goerner
President and CEO

Tuesday, June 17, 2008
CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC BB: PTSC) today announced that it has entered into an initial agreement with NuPOWER Semiconductor, to commercialize its power management IP to other semiconductor and electronic systems suppliers.
Patriot announced the phase one, “validation phase” agreement, whereby both companies will work exclusively together to commercialize NuPOWER’s extensive portfolio consisting of more than 60 claims covered under four issued and allowed patents. These patents relate to circuitry for a buck converter in Point of Load (POL) products, Network Product Power Management (PM) chipsets for voltage conversion and microprocessor-based system load line regulation. While no financial details of the agreement will be made public, Patriot confirms that the companies will both share in the revenues generated by the licensing efforts, whether from front-end license fees and/or on-going royalties. This initial “validation phase” agreement will focus the two companies on a handful of target customers before proceeding to a broader, full commercialization phase agreement.
“NuPOWER’s IP can substantially improve the regulation of the load line and accuracy of power management performance in next generation microprocessor systems. It offers unique features in POL products that require integrated Field-effect transistors (FETs), combined with creative design approaches to network product PM chipsets for voltage regulation. NuPower’s IP also provides value, and ease-of-use to system designers. The elimination of external FETs, and other external passive components, allows PM designers to drive down overall system costs and improves time to market. The integration of FET technology, coupled with the ability to perform Post Production Trimming, enables designers to meet tighter power specifications and enhances the yields of microprocessor components”, said Tony Tabaian, President of NuPOWER. Tabaian further said, “We have been able to substantiate much of the IP through initial silicon validation, with several devices in volume production through original equipment manufacturer customers. We believe the market for power management ICs combining these features will exceed two billion dollars by 2010.”
Patriot’s President/CEO Rick Goerner said, “We’re pleased to take this first step with NuPOWER and their technical team. Enhanced power management will be at the heart of every new mobile, personal computer or consumer electronic product, and next generation microprocessor systems as well. Targeting a handful of the most important customers will focus our efforts to validate the NuPOWER’s portfolio value proposition before launching more extensive licensing efforts, resources and expenses. We also view this IP licensing effort as one that is more ’forward enabling‘ and therefore, have the prospect for Patriot to realize on-going royalty payments in the future.”
The NuPOWER NUSEM patent portfolio embodies four issued, and allowed patents with more than 60 claims and additional patent filings pending. Moving forward, Patriot plans to assess, and support the costs of new continuation patent filings, building upon the base NUSEM technology. Patriot and NuPOWER would be co-assignees of any patents granted under the program.
Licensing terms, target license fees and royalties will not be disclosed at this time.
Patriot is exploring several options to commercialize the technology.

Letter to Shareholders from Patriot Scientific President/CEO Rick GoernerCARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Patriot Scientific Corp. (OTCBB:PTSC) today issued the following letter to all shareholders.
To all shareholders and supporters of Patriot Scientific, the purpose of this letter is to update you on activities at the Company. It is my intention to provide periodic communication to our shareholders through these letters as a means to provide insight to you on topical issues and to provide a uniform status report on activities at the company.
First, I’d like to call your attention to my letter to shareholders released last week (June 16, 2008) regarding the status of the MMP™ portfolio. This letter, and the referenced study, is posted on Patriot’s website at http://ptsc.com. I hope that you have been able to review it and obtain answers to some of your inquiries regarding the impact of recent court decisions impacting our most important asset.
In this letter I’d like to focus on two other areas: an update on activities to expand Patriot’s business and our plan to improve our investor relations (IR) and public relations (PR) efforts.
Update on positioning Patriot for future growth
I’d like to provide you an update on some exciting future prospects for Patriot. As I’ve outlined in previous letters, the blueprint for Patriot’s pursuit of new Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activities to expand our business going forward consists of three activities:
1. Evaluate selective expansion of Patriot’s IP portfolio by acquiring new IP:
Last week we announced the expansion of our IP licensing efforts into power management through an agreement with NuPOWER Semiconductor. The NuPOWER IP licensing efforts will focus on enabling customers to improve the performance, accuracy and efficiency of next generation power management architectures. One of their patents allows users to Program After Production (PAP) which will enable designers to specify tighter power specifications for their products. The initial validation phase of the agreement focuses Patriot and NuPOWER on certain ‘benchmark‘ customers to validate the value proposition of NuPOWER’s technology. As the PAP technology is forward enabling IP, we believe that it may help to develop a future royalty revenue stream for Patriot as well. Please review the press release posted on our website for more technical details.
We are continuing to evaluate other IP portfolios that involve microcontroller, embedded memory and networking IP. We will move forward with next steps to analyze the viability of their licensing prospects based on internal and external, market assessments, technical support needs and economic return to Patriot. We will provide periodic updates on our progress.
2. Pursue minority investments, undertaken as a strategic investor, in certain early-stage revenue or technology ventures that currently do not support a full acquisition decision, but that represent a technology or capability of interest to Patriot:
We have moved ahead with our announced plan to increase our holdings in Talis Data Systems. Talis is a manufacturer of multi-domain networking hardware. Patriot will directly acquire the shares of Talis held by SSDI by the end of July 2008 and we have made the initial cash investment to increase Patriot’s direct holdings to 30%.
Talis’ Datagent multi-domain hardware unit has received National Security Agency (NSA) validation and they will begin sampling customers this summer. Talis expects initial revenues later this year. Multi-domain interconnectivity between various government agencies is Priority #1 for the Homeland Security Agency.
Additionally, Patriot’s minority investment (46%) in Scripps Secured Data, Inc. (SSDI), a manufacturer of secure cabling enclosures for security installations on government and military sites, is also yielding positive results as their business is expanding. SSDI will report a profitable result for the 2008 fiscal year on strong revenue growth. We expect that fiscal year 2009 will see continued positive results in revenue growth and profitability. SSDI’s products are marketed under the Holocom Networks brand.
We have identified several other companies with very viable business prospects to assess as well.
3. Evaluate opportunities for full M&A:
We have identified, and are actively pursuing, several M&A opportunities in the software, networking and wireless technology sectors. After reviewing more than thirty plans, we have submitted term sheets to two software product companies. One has resulted in a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that has been approved by the Board of Directors of each company and we have begun our due diligence review.
The acquisition process can be both complicated and time consuming and there can be ‘false starts’ ending in no completed transaction as a consequence of the due diligence review, the negotiation of the definitive agreement, changes in the business of either company and other factors. So there are many more ‘hoops to jump through’ before we will be in a position to close, or announce, a final transaction.
We plan to utilize Patriot’s capital resources (stock and cash) when considering the acquisition of any operating business. While we expect to use Patriot stock as our chief currency in any transaction, Patriot’s strong cash position gives us a very solid negotiating position, especially in discussions with companies who have limited access to operating capital. I will continue to keep you advised of progress in subsequent updates or when a transaction is finalized.
As indicated in the opening of this letter, with respect to TPL’s current licensing effort and information regarding recent court activity, please refer to my shareholder release of June 16 which is posted on the Patriot website for your review.
Plan to improve investor relations (IR) and public relations (PR)
It is my objective to continually improve the quality, uniformity and responsiveness of our communications to shareholders, potential investors and the marketplace. Since joining Patriot in February, I have reviewed the Company’s IR and PR practices, expenses, shareholder feedback and, at the same time, anticipate Patriot’s future needs for corporate communications on a broader scale. Through the end of July we will begin the transition of our IR and PR to a new organization.
Effective August 1, 2008, we will bring the handling of shareholder inquiries ‘in-house’ with a dedicated resource here in the Carlsbad office. This way Cliff, Paul and I can provide uniform direction and improve responsiveness, and the quality of response to shareholder inquiries. As a result of this plan, we are parting ways with both the Hoffman and Hawk Associates agencies effective July 31, 2008. I want to thank both groups for their past support, but feel it is in the best interest of Patriot that we move in another direction with respect to our IR and PR efforts.
We plan to engage a new IR firm, shortly, to drive a more proactive investor relations program aimed additionally at new equity fund investors, both in the US and abroad. I expect to launch this effort in late September of this year.
We have begun planning for the annual shareholders meeting. The preliminary date for the meeting is October 30, 2008.
I’d also like to clarify that many of you were also under the mistaken impression that Patriot has continued to sponsor postings, and the monitoring of postings, by Agoracom for a fee. We have taken steps in the last month to clarify that with Agoracom and the site no longer references that point. In fact, Patriot did not extend its participation beyond the original 2007 trial period.
I cannot, of course, control what information you choose to read, or accept as factual, about Patriot (though I had hoped to provide, within the limits I am able, much of that information to you in letters like this one). We cannot comment on all the messaging out there, nor will we comment, specifically, on conspiracy theories, accusations of wrongdoing, manipulation of the stock or any other unfounded allegations.
I hope this letter has provided you with some additional insight into the status of key initiatives at Patriot and that I have answered some of your questions. I look forward to your comments and additional questions.
I believe that we are making good progress with respect to our plans and that we are truly expanding the company’s business potential. I look forward to your support during the transition ahead and remain excited about the opportunity to build a strong future for Patriot Scientific.
Sincerely,
Rick Goerner

I hope that you have been able to review it and obtain answers to some of your inquiries regarding the impact of recent court decisions impacting our most important asset.
In this letter I'd like to focus on two other areas: an update on activities to expand Patriot's business and our plan to improve our investor relations and public relations efforts.
Update on positioning Patriot for future growth
I'd like to provide you an update on some exciting future prospects for Patriot. As I've outlined in previous letters, the blueprint for Patriot's pursuit of new Merger and Acquisition activities to expand our business going forward consists of three activities:
1. Evaluate selective expansion of Patriot's IP portfolio by acquiring new IP:
Last week we announced the expansion of our IP licensing efforts into power management through an agreement with NuPOWER Semiconductor. The NuPOWER IP licensing efforts will focus on enabling customers to improve the performance, accuracy and efficiency of next generation power management architectures. One of their patents allows users to Program After Production which will enable designers to specify tighter power specifications for their products. The initial validation phase of the agreement focuses Patriot and NuPOWER on certain 'benchmark' customers to validate the value proposition of NuPOWER's technology. As the PAP technology is forward enabling IP, we believe that it may help to develop a future royalty revenue stream for Patriot as well. Please review the press release posted on our website for more technical details.
We are continuing to evaluate other IP portfolios that involve microcontroller, embedded memory and networking IP. We will move forward with next steps to analyze the viability of their licensing prospects based on internal and external, market assessments, technical support needs and economic return to Patriot. We will provide periodic updates on our progress.
2. Pursue minority investments, undertaken as a strategic investor, in certain early-stage revenue or technology ventures that currently do not support a full acquisition decision, but that represent a technology or capability of interest to Patriot:
We have moved ahead with our announced plan to increase our holdings in Talis Data Systems. Talis is a manufacturer of multi-domain networking hardware. Patriot will directly acquire the shares of Talis held by SSDI by the end of July 2008 and we have made the initial cash investment to increase Patriot's direct holdings to 30%.
Talis' Datagent multi-domain hardware unit has received National Security Agency validation and they will begin sampling customers this summer. Talis expects initial revenues later this year. Multi-domain interconnectivity between various government agencies is Priority #1 for the Homeland Security Agency.
Additionally, Patriot's minority investment in Scripps Secured Data, Inc. , a manufacturer of secure cabling enclosures for security installations on government and military sites, is also yielding positive results as their business is expanding. SSDI will report a profitable result for the 2008 fiscal year on strong revenue growth. We expect that fiscal year 2009 will see continued positive results in revenue growth and profitability. SSDI's products are marketed under the Holocom Networks brand.
We have identified several other companies with very viable business prospects to assess as well.
3. Evaluate opportunities for full M&A:
We have identified, and are actively pursuing, several M&A opportunities in the software, networking and wireless technology sectors. After reviewing more than thirty plans, we have submitted term sheets to two software product companies. One has resulted in a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding that has been approved by the Board of Directors of each company and we have begun our due diligence review.
The acquisition process can be both complicated and time consuming and there can be 'false starts' ending in no completed transaction as a consequence of the due diligence review, the negotiation of the definitive agreement, changes in the business of either company and other factors. So there are many more 'hoops to jump through' before we will be in a position to close, or announce, a final transaction.
We plan to utilize Patriot's capital resources when considering the acquisition of any operating business. While we expect to use Patriot stock as our chief currency in any transaction, Patriot's strong cash position gives us a very solid negotiating position, especially in discussions with companies who have limited access to operating capital. I will continue to keep you advised of progress in subsequent updates or when a transaction is finalized.
As indicated in the opening of this letter, with respect to TPL's current licensing effort and information regarding recent court activity, please refer to my shareholder release of June 16 which is posted on the Patriot website for your review.
Plan to improve investor relations and public relations: It is my objective to continually improve the quality, uniformity and responsiveness of our communications to shareholders, potential investors and the marketplace. Since joining Patriot in February, I have reviewed the Company's IR and PR practices, expenses, shareholder feedback and, at the same time, anticipate Patriot's future needs for corporate communications on a broader scale. Through the end of July we will begin the transition of our IR and PR to a new organization.
Effective August 1, 2008, we will bring the handling of shareholder inquiries 'in-house' with a dedicated resource here in the Carlsbad office. This way Cliff, Paul and I can provide uniform direction and improve responsiveness, and the quality of response to shareholder inquiries. As a result of this plan, we are parting ways with both the Hoffman and Hawk Associates agencies effective July 31, 2008. I want to thank both groups for their past support, but feel it is in the best interest of Patriot that we move in another direction with respect to our IR and PR efforts.
We plan to engage a new IR firm, shortly, to drive a more proactive investor relations program aimed additionally at new equity fund investors, both in the US and abroad. I expect to launch this effort in late September of this year.
We have begun planning for the annual shareholders meeting. The preliminary date for the meeting is October 30, 2008.
I'd also like to clarify that many of you were also under the mistaken impression that Patriot has continued to sponsor postings, and the monitoring of postings, by Agoracom for a fee. We have taken steps in the last month to clarify that with Agoracom and the site no longer references that point. In fact, Patriot did not extend its participation beyond the original 2007 trial period.
I cannot, of course, control what information you choose to read, or accept as factual, about Patriot (though I had hoped to provide, within the limits I am able, much of that information to you in letters like this one). We cannot comment on all the messaging out there, nor will we comment, specifically, on conspiracy theories, accusations of wrongdoing, manipulation of the stock or any other unfounded allegations.
I hope this letter has provided you with some additional insight into the status of key initiatives at Patriot and that I have answered some of your questions. I look forward to your comments and additional questions.
I believe that we are making good progress with respect to our plans and that we are truly expanding the company's business potential. I look forward to your support during the transition ahead and remain excited about the opportunity to build a strong future for Patriot Scientific.
Sincerely, Rick Goerner President/CEO Patriot Scientific Corporation

Summary
Patriot Scientific Corporation's (Patriot) common stock took a drumming on Tuesday, June 24, 2008, as it tumbled to an intra-day low of
$0.18 per share before closing the day at $0.20 per share, registering volume of 1,277,400 shares. We can see no fundamental reason
for this stock action. Yes, investors are waiting for the patent re-examination process of four key patents, the '148, '336, '584, and '749
patents in the MMP™ portfolio, to be completed and results to be released; however, as was pointed out in President/CEO Rick
Goerner's letter to shareholders, dated June 16, 2008, prevailing conventional wisdom, supported by statistical data such as the recent
study by Pat Choate, noted economist and student of the patent system, is that the vast majority of re-examination proceedings result in
the strengthening of the patent being re-examined. Having watched the daily trading action of Patriot's common stock, we now are at a
loss for understanding this current action and price level.
Trading in the stock seems to be affected by the general market uneasiness, current stockholder's misperception, their weariness and
the activity of the market makers. We point out that at $0.20 per share, Patriot's market capitalization is approximately $80.0 million, its
lowest level in years. However, there are positive signs that the Patriot Scientific of today is far removed from the Patriot Scientific that
we first became acquainted with when we began our research coverage in November 2006. From May 2006 through February 29, 2008,
Patriot received over $93.0 million net royalty fees from licenses and there is no reason to expect the royalties to cease. The company
has gone through three management changes; with the current management team has taking a strong hold and is positively addressing
the merger and acquisition strategy. Further, President/CEO Goerner has addressed communications to investors, as evidenced by the
M&A activity and the five letters to shareholders since coming aboard in February 28, 2008.
We summarize below the important points of this latest letter to shareholders, dated June 24, 2008. And the final point being that Mr.
Goerner has indicated interest in stockholder value, manifested by taking the necessary steps to increase stockholder value. On a
technical basis, it appears that Patriot's common stock has successfully tested the low level or $0.18 per share. For these reasons, we
reiterate our rating of Strong Speculative Buy and our price target of $0.55 per share.
Patriot Scientific President/CEO Rick Goerner's letter of June 24, 2008, addressed several issues, including:
---Reiterated the view concerning the Supreme Court ruling on LG vs. Quanta that because of TPL focusing the MMP Licensing
Program on system suppliers, not chip suppliers and accordingly, the ruling does not have a significant impact on TPL's strategy.
---Reviewed the expansion of their IP licensing efforts into power management through an agreement with NuPOWER Semiconductor
that will focus on enabling customers to improve the performance, accuracy, and efficiency of next generation power management
architectures. One of NuPOWER's patents allows users to Program After Production (PAP), which enables designers to specify tighter
power specifications for their products. The initial validation phase of the agreement focuses Patriot and NuPOWER on certain
'benchmark customers to validate NuPOWER's technology. As the PAP technology is forward enabling IP, it is Patriot's belief that it may
help to develop a future royalty revenue stream for Patriot, as well.
--- Patriot is continuing to evaluate other IP portfolios that involve microcontroller, embedded memory, and networking IP. They are
moving forward with the next steps to analyze the viability of their licensing prospects based on internal and external market
assessments, technical support needs, and economic return to Patriot. Periodic updates on progress will be provided.
---Patriot is increasing their holdings in Talis Data Systems. Talis is a manufacturer of multi-domain networking hardware. Patriot is
planning to acquire shares of Talis held by SSDI by the end of July 2008, having made the initial cash investment to increase Patriot's
direct holdings to 30%. Talis' Datagent multi-domain hardware unit has received National Security Agency (NSA) validation, will begin
sampling customers this summer, and expects initial revenue later this year.
---Patriot's minority investment (46%) in Scripps Secured Data, Inc. (SSDI), a manufacturer of secure cabling enclosures for security
installations on government and military sites, will report a profitable result for the 2008 fiscal year on strong revenue growth, and
expects that fiscal year 2009 will see continued positive results in revenue growth and profitability. SSDI's products are marketed under
the Holocom Networks brand.
---On the subject of Patriot's merger and acquisition (M&A) plans, the letter indicated they have identified and are actively pursuing
several M&A opportunities in the software, networking, and wireless technology sectors. After reviewing more than thirty plans, they
have submitted term sheets to two software product companies. One has resulted in a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU), approved by the Board of Directors of each company and Patriot has begun their due diligence review. Patriot's plans to utilize
their capital resources (stock and cash) in the acquisition of any operating business. The Patriot stock is viewed as the chief currency in
any transaction, however, Patriot's strong cash position adds to the solid negotiating position, especially in discussions with companies
who have limited access to operating capital.
---After reviewing their IR and PR practices, expenses, and shareholder feedback, Patriot plans to improve the quality of their IR and PR
efforts and plans to begin the transition to a new IR and PR program by the end of July. Further, effective August 1, 2008, the handling
of shareholder inquiries will be brought 'in-house' with a dedicated resource at their Carlsbad corporate headquarters.
---The letter clarifies Patriot's situation with Agorcom, stating they have taken steps in the last month to communicate with Agoracom.
Patriot did not extend its participation beyond the original 2007 trial period.
---The shaeholders' meeting date has been preliminarily scheduled for October 30, 2008. Further information and a proxy will be
forthcoming.

Platzt endlich die olle Ölblase, dann werden Milliarden und Abermilliarden in den Aktienmarkt fließen. PTSC wird bis dahin marktkapitaltechnisch vielleicht auf 50 Mio. USD zusammengeschrumpft sein.

Ich werde schon langsam nervös, lange kann ich mich bestimmt nicht mehr zurückhalten.
Wie schon geschrieben, glaube ich, platzt die Ölblase, dann wird es am Aktienmarkt einen anständigen Boom geben - davon wird auch PTSC profitieren, denn die Unternehmenszahlen sind ja trotzt der eventuell nicht gezahlten Schadenersatzzahlungen aus dem J3_Verfahren recht gut.
