About Cosine Communications
CoSine Communications was founded in 1998 as a global telecommunications equipment supplier to empower service providers to deliver a compelling portfolio of managed, network-based IP and broadband services to consumers and business customers. CoSine ceased its customer service operations effective December 31, 2006. CoSine's strategic plan is to redeploy its existing resources to identify and acquire new business operations. CoSine's redeployment strategy will involve the acquisition of one or more operating businesses with existing or prospective taxable earnings. This strategy may allow CoSine to realize future cash flow benefits from its net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOLs"). As of this date, no assurance can be given that CoSine will find suitable candidates, and if it does, that it will be able to utilize its existing NOLs.
