- In October 2008, the Company sold its investment in LIMOS.com, LLC for approximately twice the value of its original investment, realizing a gain of $425,000.

"We are extremely pleased with our success in licensing our patents to companies with the stature of AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Qwest, Global Crossing and Level 3. We plan to continue to pursue licenses from other entities that are using our patented technology, which includes corresponding patents in Australia, Canada, China and Europe", said Allan Silber, Chairman and CEO of C2.

Please see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2009, for further information.
