e.Digital Reports Fiscal Year 2014 Results

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2014) - e.Digital Corporation ( OTCQB : EDIG ), a long standing source of innovation and future-defining patented technologies, today announced results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

Highlights:

  • Continued Flash-R licensing success  - During fiscal year 2014, the Company entered into 21 license and settlement agreements. 17 of these arrangements are as a result of the original group of lawsuits filed by the Company in late 2012 and early 2013. One additional case was settled in the current fiscal year, with three remaining cases on hold pending the outcome of the collateral estoppel appeal the Company filed with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in October of 2013.
  • Additional lawsuits filed - In early December 2013, the Company filed additional lawsuits against manufacturers and suppliers of Flash memory storage devices, including Toshiba, Seagate, Intel, and others. Since January 1, 2014, the Company secured 10 new patent license agreements stemming from the additional lawsuits. These agreements were executed during the last quarter of the Company's fiscal 2014 (ended March 31, 2014) and the current fiscal year's first quarter. These lawsuits assert claim one of the Company's U.S. Patent No. 5,839,108, covering the use of flash memory technologies.
  • Expanded and strengthened the Company's patent portfolio  - At March 31, 2014, the Company's intellectual property portfolio included twelve U.S. patents, three continuations and one continuation in part. Efforts are underway to continue to expand the Company's intellectual property roadmap.
  • Nunchi ® and microSignet marketing - The Company modified its relationship with Handal & Associates ("Handal") to include the marketing and enforcement of the Company's Nunchi and microSignet patent portfolios. The Company's Flash-R litigation has aided in creating an awareness of its intellectual property among household named companies.

Management Commentary: "Licensing of our Flash-R patent portfolio continues to be our primary source of revenue resulting in a profit for fiscal 2014," commented Fred Falk, president and CEO of e.Digital. "We have worked closely with Handal to enforce our patents and address the many challenges presented by multiple Flash-R defendants. We expect additional Flash-R licensing revenue in Fiscal 2015.

"We are working with Handal to identify potential licensees and also possible infringers of our Nunchi patents. We are excited about our microSignet security technology due to the increased awareness and need for new security solutions as a result of major corporate security breaches. There are many areas we believe microSignet offers a compelling enhanced security solution. Unlike other security solutions, microSignet utilizes the internal physical characteristics of semiconductor memories, to establish a 'fingerprint' which uniquely identifies a given piece of hardware, such as a smart phone or desktop computer, which can be used for device authentication, or to bind valuable content to a particular device. For a more complete description and video demonstration, we encourage you to please visit the microSignet webpage . We are excited about the industry trends we are seeing in the area of context awareness, and the need for more secure and user friendly online security solutions. We believe our Nunchi and microSignet technologies offer compelling solutions in these rapidly evolving areas," concluded Falk.

Fiscal 2014 Financial Summary: Revenues totaled $2,280,758 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Revenues for fiscal year 2014 included $2,045,385 in licensing fees from the Company's Flash-R™ patent portfolio and $235,373 in eVU™ portable in flight entertainment (IFE) sales and services. For the prior year, licensing revenue was $11,669 and eVU revenues were $430,745. During fiscal 2014, the Company licensed 21 companies, and in the prior year had no new patent license agreements.

Operating costs and expenses for fiscal year 2014 were $2.19 million, increased from $1.98 million in fiscal year 2013. The increase is primarily as a result of increased contingent legal fees due to increased current year patent license settlements.

Net income for fiscal year 2014 was $56,084 or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to the net loss of $1.48 million or $(0.01) per diluted share for fiscal 2013.
