Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Patriot Scientific Corporation (the “Company”, “PTSC”, “Patriot”, “we”, “us” or “our”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six month period ended November 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2010. We have evaluated subsequent events through January 11, 2010, the filing date of this Form 10-Q, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified our loss on fixed assets as presented in the Other income (expense) section of our 2009 financial statements to selling, general and administrative expenses. Such reclassifications have no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 and the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiary Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc. (“PDSG”) which includes our acquisitions of Crossflo Systems, Inc., the assets of Verras Medical, Inc., and the business line Vigilys and our inactive subsidiary Plasma Scientific Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiary Crossflo which is now part of PDSG, our majority owned inactive subsidiary Plasma Scientific Corporation and the variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we were the primary beneficiary. During September 2008, we dissolved our majority owned inactive subsidiary, Metacomp, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated

Consolidation of Affiliate

We have adopted the authoritative guidance for identifying VIEs and determining when we should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a VIE in our consolidated financial statements.

A VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Consolidation of Affiliate (continued)

We are required to consolidate a VIE if we have an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE that obligates us to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities, or we are entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns (if no party absorbs a majority of the VIE’s losses), or both. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest.

Beginning with the quarter ended May 31, 2007, we consolidated Holocom, Inc. (formerly known as Scripps Secured Data, Inc.) (“Holocom”) as Holocom was deemed a VIE and we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of Holocom. During July 2008, Holocom obtained a credit facility for up to $300,000 from a third party, the credit facility term extended to May 1, 2009, and was guaranteed by us. As a result of our guarantee on the third party credit facility, we maintained a variable interest in Holocom. Upon expiration of the credit facility on May 1, 2009, we deconsolidated Holocom as we are no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We are now recording our investment in Holocom under the cost method (see Note 11).

Investments in Marketable Securities

We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation at each balance sheet date. Our investments in marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale based on management’s investment intentions relating to these securities. Available-for-sale marketable securities are stated at fair market value based on valuation by Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. Unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). We follow the authoritative guidance to assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in Affiliated Companies

We have a 50% interest in Phoenix Digital Solutions, LLC (“PDS”) (see Note 11). This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting since the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliated companies.”

We have a 39.4% interest in Talis Data Systems, LLC (“Talis”) (see Note 11). Prior to the write-off of our investment in Talis during the quarter ended August 31, 2009, we were accounting for our investment using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, was adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and was presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliated companies.” Talis is currently in the process of dissolution.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Investments in Affiliated Companies (continued)

We own 37.1% of the preferred stock of Avot Media, Inc. (“Avot”) (see Note 11). This investment is accounted for at cost since we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Avot.

We own 100% of the preferred stock of Holocom. This investment has historically been accounted for at cost since we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Holocom. Due to a re-consideration event on May 1, 2009, this investment is carried at cost plus the effects of deconsolidation of this variable interest entity on our November 30, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We review our investments in these affiliated companies to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The primary factors we consider in our determination are the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investees. If the decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary, we would recognize an impairment loss.

Avot is currently undergoing negotiations for the sale of its business. As a result of preliminary proposals from potential acquirers we expect to receive payment for our note receivable with Avot, but do not expect there will be adequate consideration to liquidate the carrying value of our preferred stock investment. Accordingly, at November 30, 2009 we have written-off $433,333 which represents the remaining fair value of our preferred stock investment in Avot. We have recorded this as an impairment of investment in affiliated companies on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses which are excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2009, this amount included unrealized losses on investments classified as available-for-sale. The amount is presented net of tax-related benefits of $157,541.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from technology license agreements is recognized at the time a contract is entered into, the license method is determined (paid-in-advance or on-going royalty), and the customer is provided with the licensed technology, if applicable. Fees for maintenance or support are recorded on a straight-line basis over the underlying period of performance.

PDSG sells software and services to end users primarily through relationships with systems integrators and prime contractors. PDSG recognizes revenue in accordance with authoritative guidance for the software industry. PDSG’s revenue is derived primarily from the following sources: (i) software licensing, (ii) related professional services, and (iii) post contract customer support (“PCS”) agreements. PCS agreements typically include software updates, on a when and if available basis, telephone and Internet access to technical support personnel. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and to maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Revenue for support services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the support period.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition (continued)

When a sale involves multiple elements, PDSG allocates the entire fee from the arrangement to each respective element based on its Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value and recognizes revenue when each element’s revenue recognition criteria are met. VSOE of fair value for each element is established based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. PDSG has not yet demonstrated VSOE for the professional services that are rendered in conjunction with its software license sales. Accordingly, we have combined their presentation on our condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “License and service revenue.”

The majority of PDSG’s contracts with customers, including systems integrators and prime contractors, are multiple element arrangements which contain professional services that are considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement. PDSG accounts for revenue on these arrangements according to authoritative guidance for contract accounting. Under this guidance, PDSG recognizes revenue based on progress towards contract completion measured by actual hours incurred in relation to the estimate of total expected hours. PDSG measures these revenues by applying the contract-specific estimated percentage of completion to the total contract amount for software and professional services. PDSG routinely updates the estimates of future hours for agreements in process and reports any cumulative effects of such adjustments in current operations. PDSG immediately recognizes any loss expected on these contracts when it is projected that loss is probable.

In certain situations where PDSG’s customer contracts contain acceptance criteria or other conditions that are deemed adverse to the probability for collection, revenues recognized are limited by the amount of cash already collected.

Prior to its deconsolidation, Holocom recognized revenue upon shipment of its product or upon receipt of its product by the customer when shipped FOB destination and recognized revenue on its short-term installation contracts as time and materials costs were incurred.

Holocom maintained agreements with stocking distributors. These agreements provided for a limited product warranty for a period of one year from the date of sale to the end user. The warranty did not cover damage to the product after it was delivered to the distributor. Holocom’s stocking distributor agreements also allowed limited rights to periodic stock rotation. These rotation rights allowed for the exchange of a percentage of distributor inventory for replacement products of the distributor’s choosing.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and primarily include payroll and related benefit costs and contractor fees.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are required to be classified as revenue, and shipping and handling costs are required to be classified as either cost of sales or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Holocom included shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. Holocom included shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and unreimbursed shipping to customers in cost of sales.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings (loss) of an entity. For the three and six months ended November 30, 2009, all potential common shares related to our outstanding warrants and options totaling approximately 7,877,496 shares were excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they could have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months ended November 30, 2008, 8,980,000 potentially dilutive common shares related to our outstanding warrants and options were excluded in the calculation of diluted income per share as they could have had an anti-dilutive effect.

In connection with our acquisition of Crossflo, which is now a part of PDSG, we issued escrow shares that are contingent upon certain representations and warranties made by Crossflo at the time of the merger agreement (see Note 15). We exclude these escrow shares from the basic earnings (loss) per share calculations and include the escrowed shares in the diluted earnings per share calculations.

The following presents a reconciliation of the denominator used in the earnings per share calculation for the six months ended November 30, 2008:

Denominator shares			398,405,637
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options and warrants			443,559
Add: escrow shares			1,383,454
Total			400,232,650

Minority Interest

Minority interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements resulted from the accounting for the acquisition of a noncontrolling interest in Holocom. Noncontrolling interest represents a partially owned subsidiary’s income, losses, and components of other comprehensive income (loss) which should be attributed to the controlling and noncontrolling interests or other parties with a right or obligation that affects the attribution of comprehensive income or loss, on the basis of their contractual rights or obligations, if any, otherwise, on the basis of ownership interests.

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2008, the minority interest allocated $271,556 and $192,921, respectively, represented the entire amount of Holocom’s net income after taxes on a consolidated basis.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards ultimately expected to vest during the period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 of approximately 5% was based on historical forfeiture experience and estimated future employee forfeitures. The estimated expected term of option grants for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 was five years.

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

Summary of Assumptions and Activity

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though this model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from our stock options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 is based on the historical volatilities of our common stock. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.14 and $0.17 per option, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended November 30, 2008 was $11,000 based on the differences in market prices on the dates of exercise and the option exercise prices. T here were no options exercised during the six months ended November 30, 2009.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the differences in market price at the close of the quarter ($0.18 per share on November 30, 2009) and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options (those options with exercise prices below $0.18) on November 30, 2009.

As of November 30, 2009, there was $106,922 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock option compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the next 39 months.

The following table summarizes employee and director stock-based compensation expense for Patriot and employee stock-based compensation for PDSG for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, which was recorded as follows:

	Three Months Ended November 30, 2009		Six Months Ended November 30, 2009		Three Months Ended November 30, 2008		Six Months Ended November 30, 2008
Research and development - PDSG	$	3,366	$	4,548	$	378	$	378

Total	$	118,726	$	154,859	$	157,757	$	265,926

On October 5, 2009, our CFO was appointed interim CEO and his unvested options were immediately vested by our Compensation Committee. Accordingly, we recorded $97,679 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense in connection with the immediate vesting of these options.

During the three and six months ended November 30, 2008, Holocom recognized $6,706 and $13,411, respectively, of employee, consultant and director stock-based compensation expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The objective of this authoritative guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. The revised authoritative guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. We expect to adopt this guidance on June 1, 2010 and have not determined the effect of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In July 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance relating to software revenue recognition to exclude all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The revised authoritative guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and shall be applied on a prospective basis. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year provided it has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. We expect to adopt this guidance on June 1, 2011 and have not determined the effect of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This revised authoritative guidance requires companies to allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately either by the company itself or other vendors. This revised authoritative guidance eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. As a result, the new guidance may allow some companies to recognize revenue on transactions that involve multiple deliverables earlier than under current requirements. This revised authoritative guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of a company’s fiscal year. We expect to adopt this guidance on June 1, 2010 and have not determined the effect of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

Crossflo

On September 1, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Crossflo. The results of Crossflo’s operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since that date. Crossflo markets data sharing services and products primarily to the public safety/government sector. Crossflo’s flagship product is the Crossflo DataExchange (“CDX”). CDX is a commercial off-the-shelf middleware designed for inter-agency and cross-domain data sharing which allows end users to selectively share information and rapidly connect disparate data sources across multiple platforms.

The aggregate purchase price was $10,257,604, including $2,850,790 of cash, $824,600 of convertible notes and common stock valued at $6,582,214. The value of the 26,988,455 shares issued was based on the average closing price of our common stock on the Electronic Bulletin Board as reported by NASDAQ over the ten trading days immediately preceding September 1, 2008.

Total assets acquired		10,384,808
Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities		(127,204	)
	$	10,257,604

The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on an appraisal using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The fair values of the customer contracts, maintenance agreements and technologies and processes were determined using an income approach.

None of our acquired intangible assets were assigned to research and development assets. The acquired intangible assets of $6,071,400 have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 8 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer contracts of $63,600 (0.75 year weighted-average useful life), maintenance agreements of $75,400 (4 year weighted-average useful life) and technologies and processes of $5,932,400 (8 year weighted-average useful life). During the quarter ended November 30, 2009 intangibles were impaired and the fair value of Crossflo’s technology was reduced to $1,860,000 (see Note 3).

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Acquisitions (continued)

Goodwill in the amount of $1,668,630 was assigned to the Crossflo segment. This amount is not deductible for income tax purposes. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 goodwill was impaired by approximately $236,000. During the quarter ended November 30, 2009 goodwill was impaired by approximately $1,096,000 (see Note 3).

The deferred tax asset is a result of purchase accounting. The deferred tax asset results from Crossflo’s net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to offset consolidated taxable income in future periods, offset by the deferred tax liability which is the result of future amortization expenses attributable to the acquired intangible assets which will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

The deferred tax asset was calculated as follows:

	Net Operating Loss Carryforward		Tax Rate		Deferred Tax Asset
Federal	$	11,995,697		35%	$	4,198,494
California		7,810,697		5.746%		448,802
	$	19,806,394			$	4,647,296

The deferred tax liability was calculated as follows:

Identifiable intangible assets acquired	$	6,071,400
Tax rate		40.746	%
	$	2,473,853

The terms of the merger agreement provided that additional purchase consideration of 2,844,630 shares of our common stock (“Escrow Shares”) be deposited with a third party escrow agent. Per the Escrow Agreement, one year following the closing date, the Escrow Shares shall be disbursed first to: Patriot to cover transaction expenses incurred in excess of estimated transaction expenses at closing and for damages incurred as a result of any breach of Crossflo’s representations, warranties and covenants made at closing, next to the former stockholders of Crossflo in accordance with terms of the Escrow Agreement, lastly any shares remaining in the account shall be returned to Patriot. In the event that there is not an adequate number of shares remaining in the escrow account one year from closing to satisfy distribution to Crossflo stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Patriot is required to make up any difference in cash. Please see Note 15 for the status of the escrow shares.

The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on an appraisal using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The fair values of the customer relationships, trademarks/names and technology were determined using an income approach.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Crossflo paid Verras $80,288 on December 3, 2008, and the remaining $400,000 was due in four equal installments on the three, six, nine and twelve month anniversaries of the closing date. The remaining liability of $100,000 under this agreement was included in accrued expenses on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2009. On December 1, 2009, Crossflo paid Verras the final $100,000 pursuant to the agreement.

None of our acquired intangible assets were assigned to research and development assets. The acquired intangible assets of $307,000 had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 7 years. The intangible assets that made up that amount included customer relationships of $36,000 (5 year weighted-average useful life), trademarks/names of $110,000 (10 year weighted-average useful life) and technology of $161,000 (5 year weighted-average useful life).

Goodwill in the amount of $196,512 was assigned to Verras. This amount was assigned a 15 year life and amortized for income tax purposes.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2009 the intangible assets and goodwill of Verras were written-off through impairment charges (see Note 3).

3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill originating from acquisitions is not amortized and is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests based on certain circumstances.

Purchased intangible assets were being amortized over a period of 9 months to 10 years. After impairment, the technology of PDSG is currently being amortized over 81 months.

The following table presents details of our other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization balances, which were recorded as a result of business combinations and asset purchases:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)

Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

Balance, June 1, 2008	$	-
Goodwill of Crossflo acquired		1,668,630
Goodwill of Verras acquired		196,512
Goodwill of Vigilys acquired		110,004
Impairment of Crossflo goodwill		(235,897	)
Balance, May 31, 2009		1,739,249
Impairment of Verras goodwill		(196,512	)
Impairment of Vigilys goodwill		(110,004	)
Impairment of Crossflo goodwill		(789,752	)
Balance November 30, 2009	$	642,981

The inability of PDSG to meet its business plan and the general economic environment were indicators of potential impairment on our goodwill and intangible assets, accordingly at May 31, 2009, management obtained a third party valuation of PDSG’s goodwill and intangibles from Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. Based on the results of the valuation, it was determined that goodwill was impaired by approximately $236,000. We recorded this as an impairment of goodwill on our consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

Management’s plan of restructuring on October 5, 2009 and the continuing inability of PDSG to meet its business plan were indicators of potential impairment on our goodwill and intangible assets. Accordingly, at November 30, 2009, management obtained a third party valuation of PDSG’s goodwill and intangibles from Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. Based on the results of the valuation, it was determined that goodwill was impaired by approximately $1,096,000 and intangibles were impaired by approximately $3,530,000. We recorded these as impairments of goodwill and purchased intangibles on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

4. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents at November 30, 2009 consist of a savings account required to be held as collateral for our corporate credit card account.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2009 consist of two savings accounts required to be held as collateral for corporate credit card accounts.

At November 30, 2009 our short-term investments in the amount of $379,486 includes accrued interest receivable on our auction rate securities in the amount of $29,486 which is receivable semi-annually according to the terms specified in each auction rate security instrument. This value is reported at cost, which approximates fair market value. Additionally, $350,000 in auction rate securities redeemed at par value on December 1, 2009 have been recorded in our short-term investments at November 30, 2009.

At May 31, 2009, our short-term investments in the amount of $58,292, consists of accrued interest receivable on our auction rate securities. This value is reported at cost, which approximates fair market value.

5. Fair Value Measurements

We follow authoritative guidance to account for our financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Under this authoritative guidance we are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We determine fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment or valuations by third party professionals. The three levels of inputs that we may use to measure fair value are:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The following table represents our financial instruments subject to fair value measurement and the valuation approach applied to each class of security:

		Quoted Prices in Active Markets Level 1				Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2				Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3				Balance as of November 30, 2009
Auction rate securities		$	—			$	—			$	7,743,878			$	7,743,878

The valuation of these securities is based on Level 3 unobservable inputs which consist of recommended fair values provided by Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. As a result of the estimated fair value, we have determined that there is a temporary impairment in the valuation of these securities of $656,122. We have recorded an unrealized loss of $391,366 in accumulated other comprehensive loss at November 30, 2009, which represents the gross valuation adjustment of $656,122, net of the related tax benefit of $264,756. These securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and the unrealized loss is included in other comprehensive income in the current period. Due to the uncertainty related to the liquidity in the auction rate security market, we have classified $7,393,878 of these auction rate securities as long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. $350,000 of the auction rate securities redeemed at par value on December 1, 2009 have been classified as short term marketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2009.

7. Notes Receivable

On February 24, 2009, we received a promissory note receivable from Avot for principal of $100,000. Interest at the rate of 8% accrued on the note until its maturity date of August 24, 2009.

On March 12, 2009, we entered into a secured revolving note receivable with Avot for $500,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% and was due December 12, 2009. The note is secured by the assets of Avot. Upon entering into the secured revolving loan note, the short term note we received from Avot on February 24, 2009 was cancelled and the principal amount of $100,000 was classified as an initial advance on the revolving loan note. Under terms of the note, not more than one request for advances shall be made within a single month. On March 13, 2009, April 1, 2009, May 11, 2009 and June 22, 2009, we advanced $115,000, $115,000, $115,000 and $55,000, respectively, to Avot under terms of the note. At November 30, 2009 the balance of the note receivable was $503,333, including accrued interest receivable of $3,333. On December 12, and December 30, 2009 we granted Avot forbearances on the note which currently extend through January 31, 2010 as Avot is currently in negotiations for the sale of its business (see Note 17).

At May 31, 2009, the balance of the note receivable was $447,810, including accrued interest receivable of $2,810 recognized during the year ended May 31, 2009.

8. Work-In-Process

Work-in-process at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 consists of $65,253 and $27,279, respectively, which represents the excess of recognized revenue over invoices to customers on PDSG’s current contracts in progress.

9. Investments in Marketable Securities

The following table shows the cost, cumulative unrealized losses and fair value of our investments in marketable securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009. As stated in Note 5, the fair value of our investments is based on valuations by Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009:

	As of November 30, 2009
	Twelve Months or Greater
		Cost		Cumulative Unrealized Losses			Estimated Fair Value

Auction Rate Securities. The unrealized losses on our auction rate securities are caused by the uncertainty that these securities will settle or that we may have to redeem them for less than par value in the event we needed immediate access to these funds. As of November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, we held auction rate securities with a par value totaling approximately $8.4 million and $11.7 million, respectively, that failed to sell at auction or be redeemed. During June 2009, auction rate securities with a par value of $750,000 were redeemed by the issuers at par value. In September 2009, auction rate securities with a par value of $2,500,000 were redeemed by the issuer at par value. In December 2009, auction rate securities with a par value of $350,000 were redeemed by the issuers at par value (see Note 17). In the event we need to access funds invested in these auction rate securities we would not be able to liquidate these securities until (i) a future auction of these securities is successful, (ii) they are refinanced and redeemed by the issuers, or (iii) a buyer is found outside of the auction process. The investments consist of student loan auction rate instruments issued by various state agencies pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (“FFELP”). These investments are of high credit quality and the AAA credit ratings of the investments have been reaffirmed since November 2009. These instruments are collateralized in excess of the underlying obligations, are insured by the various state educational agencies, and are guaranteed by the Department of Education as an insurer of last resort. We do not intend to sell our auction rate securities before we are able to recover our cost basis and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell our auction rate securities before recovery of our cost basis.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of a market recovery, we have classified our auction rate securities as long-term investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2009, except the auction rate securities redeemed in December 2009. As a result of temporary declines in the fair value of our auction rate securities, which we attribute to liquidity issues rather than credit issues, we have recorded an unrealized loss of $391,366 in other comprehensive loss at November 30, 2009, which represents the gross valuation adjustment of $656,122, net of the related tax benefit of $264,756. At May 31, 2009, we recorded an unrealized loss of $629,314 in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which represents the gross valuation adjustment of $1,051,611, net of the related tax benefit of $422,297.

We will continue to evaluate the fair value of our investments in auction rate securities each reporting period for a potential other-than-temporary impairment.

Investments in Marketable Securities (continued)

During June 2008, we obtained a credit facility from Wedbush Morgan Securities, Inc. (“Wedbush”) for as long as needed, which provides for financing up to 50% of the par value balance of our outstanding auction rate securities. The facility is collateralized by the full value of the outstanding auction rate securities, required no origination fee, and when drawn upon will bear interest at the federal funds rate plus 3%. On October 14, 2008, we borrowed $3,000,000 on the credit facility, the proceeds of which is included in cash and cash equivalents at November 30, 2009 (see Note 13).

10. License Agreements

In February 2005, we entered into two separate licensing agreements with one customer for our patent portfolio and Ignite microprocessor technology. The aggregate amount of the two licenses was $3,050,000, of which $2,950,000 was for licensing fees and $100,000 was for maintenance services. Maintenance under the agreement was expected to be provided over a period not to exceed four years; which ended in February 2009. Maintenance revenue recognized during the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 was approximately $6,250 and $12,500, respectively.

11. Investments in Affiliated Companies

Phoenix Digital Solutions, LLC

On June 7, 2005, we entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Technology Properties Limited, a California corporation (“TPL”), and Charles H. Moore (“Moore”), the co-inventor of the technology which is the subject of the MMP Portfolio of microprocessor patents, pursuant to which the parties resolved all legal disputes between them. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, we and TPL entered into the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of PDS (the “LLC Agreement”) into which we and Moore contributed our rights to certain of our technologies.

We and TPL each own 50% of the membership interests of PDS, and each of us has the right to appoint one member of the three member management committee. The two appointees are required to select a mutually acceptable third member of the management committee. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, we and TPL agreed to establish a working capital fund for PDS of $4,000,000, of which our contribution was $2,000,000. The working capital fund increases to a maximum of $8,000,000 as license revenues are achieved. We and TPL are obligated to fund future working capital requirements at the discretion of the management committee of

PDS in order to maintain working capital of not more than $8,000,000. Neither we nor TPL are required to contribute more than $2,000,000 in any fiscal year. During the quarter ended November 30, 2009 we and TPL each contributed $80,000 to PDS for working capital requirements. In December 2009, we and TPL each contributed $500,000 to PDS for working capital requirements (see Note 17). Distributable cash and allocation of profits and losses will be allocated to the members in the priority defined in the LLC Agreement.

PDS has committed to pay a quarterly amount ranging between $500,000 and $1,000,000 (based upon a percentage of the working capital fund balance of PDS) for supporting efforts to secure licensing agreements by TPL on behalf of PDS. During the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, PDS expensed $1,000,000 and $1,866,641, respectively, pursuant to this commitment.

PDS reimburses TPL for payment of all legal and third-party expert fees and other related third-party costs and other expenses. During the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, PDS expensed $3,002,738 and $1,556,285, respectively, pursuant to the agreement.

On November 13, 2008, the management committee of PDS resolved to pay TPL 3% of the gross licensing revenue received by PDS for the period June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009, as reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by TPL in connection with TPL’s activities related to a possible amendment of patent laws in the United States. The aggregate reimbursement under this resolution was not to exceed $1,000,000 for the period June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009. From November 2008 to May 31, 2009, PDS expensed $571,500 pursuant to this resolution.

On August 17, 2009, the management committee of PDS resolved to pay TPL $500,000 per quarter beginning on June 1, 2009 and continuing through May 31, 2010 relating to TPL’s special work and effort regarding the MMP litigation and U.S. Patent Office re-examinations. In the event that PDS has insufficient funds to make such payments, we are required to advance half of the quarterly amount to PDS. Our advance to PDS will be without interest and must be repaid to us no later than May 31, 2010. On August 25, 2009, TPL received $500,000 from PDS pursuant to this agreement, at November 30, 2009, $500,000 was accrued pursuant to this agreement and paid to TPL by PDS in December 2009. These amounts are included in the legal and third-party expert fees listed above. As of the date of this filing, we have not advanced any funds to PDS under this resolution.

We are accounting for our investment in PDS under the equity method of accounting, and accordingly have recorded our share of PDS’ net income during the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, of $3,494,067 and $6,872,991, respectively, as an increase in our investment. Cash distributions received from PDS during the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 of $6,727,827 and $7,648,589, respectively, have been recorded as a reduction in our investment. During the six months ended November 30, 2009, PDS distributed earnings in excess of the carrying amount of our investment of $151,494. Such amount has been recorded as “Distributions in excess of investment in affiliated company” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2009, due to our and TPL’s obligation to fund the working capital of PDS at the discretion of PDS’ management committee. We have recorded our share of PDS’ net income for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 as “Equity in earnings of affiliated companies” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, TPL entered into licensing agreements with third parties, pursuant to which PDS recorded aggregate proceeds of $8,696,000 and $2,775,000, respectively. $2,000,000 of these proceeds are to be received in July 2010 and accordingly have been recorded as licenses receivable on the November 30, 3009 condensed balance sheet of PDS.

During the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, TPL entered into licensing agreements with third parties, pursuant to which PDS recorded aggregate proceeds of $11,023,655 and $19,050,000, respectively.

At November 30, 2009, PDS had accounts payable balances of approximately $2,387,332 and $385 to TPL and PTSC, respectively. At May 31, 2009, PDS had accounts payable balances of approximately $1,482,000 and $5,500 to TPL and PTSC, respectively.

PDS’ condensed balance sheets at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 and statements of income for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Talis Data Systems, LLC

On May 16, 2008, we paid $400,000 to acquire a 15.09% share in Talis, a company that produces multi-domain computer and network security products to government, military, and enterprise customers. Talis develops and markets PCs incorporating the company's Datagent security device, a patented, hardware based data security solution that avoids the vulnerability of software–based approaches.

On August 1, 2008, we increased our investment in Talis as a result of purchasing additional membership units offered by Talis for $300,000 as well as acquiring membership units from minority members for $196,500. We also acquired all of the Talis membership units previously held by Holocom for $100,000 in cash and a reduction on their outstanding line of credit of $219,000.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we purchased an additional 185,793 membership units of Talis for $269,399 which brought our ownership share of Talis to 38.9% at May 31, 2009. During June 2009, we purchased 22,414 membership units for $32,500 which brings our ownership share to 39.4%.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Investments in Affiliated Companies (continued)

The inability of Talis to meet its business plan, raise capital, and the general economic environment were indicators of impairment on our investment, accordingly at August 31, 2009, management obtained a third party valuation of Talis from Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. Based on the results of the valuation, it was determined that our investment in Talis was impaired by approximately $680,000. We have recorded this as an impairment of investment in affiliated companies on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2009.

We were accounting for our investment in Talis under the equity method of accounting. We had recorded our share of Talis’ net loss of $21,706 and $63,089 during the two months ended July 31, 2009 and three months ended August 31, 2008, respectively, as a decrease in our investment. Our investment in Talis was $669,498 at May 31, 2009 and was recorded as “Investments in Affiliated Companies” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We have recorded our share of Talis’ net loss as “Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Companies” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the two months ended July 31, 2009 and the three month ended August 31, 2008. The carrying value of our investment in Talis after impairment is zero at August 31, 2009. Talis is currently in the process of dissolution.

Due to the immaterial nature of Talis’ operations, no condensed financial statement information is presented herein.

Avot Media, Inc.

During the quarter ended August 31, 2008, we invested an aggregate of $1,300,000, including conversion of a note receivable in the amount of $250,000, to obtain 14,444,444 shares of Series B preferred stock issued by Avot, representing 53.3% of the Series B preferred stock and 37.1% of all Avot’s preferred shares issued and outstanding. The Series B preferred shares are convertible at our option into shares of Avot’s common stock utilizing a conversion rate which consists of the original issue price of the Series B shares divided by the conversion price of $0.09 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment from time to time for recapitalizations and as otherwise set forth in Avot’s Articles of Incorporation. Each share of preferred stock will automatically convert to common shares, utilizing the conversion rate: (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”) provided that (a) the offering price per share is not less than $1.00, (b) the aggregate gross proceeds to Avot are not less than $25,000,000 and (c) Avot’s common stock will be listed or admitted to trading on any national securities association registered pursuant to Section 15A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon effectiveness of the IPO, or (ii) upon receipt by Avot of written request for such conversion from the holders of a majority of the preferred stock then outstanding. All preferred shares are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors of Avot. The Series B preferred shares are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $0.09 per share adjusted from time to time for recapitalizations, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends.

We reviewed the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements in addition to evaluating our voting rights for our investment in the preferred stock of Avot, and as such we have concluded that we do not have the ability to exercise significant control over Avot. As a result, we are accounting for our investment in Avot at cost.

The inability of Avot to meet its business plan, to raise capital, and the general economic environment were indicators of impairment on our investment, and at May 31, 2009, management obtained a third party valuation of Avot from Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. Based on the results of the valuation, it was determined that our investment in Avot was impaired by approximately $867,000.

Investments in Affiliated Companies (continued)

Avot is currently undergoing negotiations for the sale of its business. As a result of preliminary proposals from potential acquirers we expect to receive payment for our note receivable with Avot, but do not expect there will be adequate consideration to liquidate the carrying value of our preferred stock investment. Accordingly, at November 30, 2009 we have written off $433,333 which represents the remaining fair value of our preferred stock investment in Avot. We have recorded this as an impairment of investment in affiliated companies on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

In September 2009, we entered into an agreement with Avot in which Avot will develop a software package for PDSG’s Vigilys product. Terms of the agreement require PDSG to pay Avot four milestone payments of $50,000 each on September 1, October 1, November 1 and December 1, 2009. In connection with the agreement, Avot issued us 1,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Avot’s common stock ,with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and a 36 month exercise period. The warrants were issued in four 250,000 installments consistent with the milestone payments. The value attributed to the warrants was insignificant.

During March 2009, we entered into a revolving loan note with Avot. At November 30, 2009, the balance on the note receivable is $503,333 (see Note 7).

Scripps Secured Data, Inc. (d/b/a Holocom, Inc.)

On February 2, 2007, we invested an aggregate of $370,000 in convertible preferred stock, representing all of the issued preferred stock and a 46% ownership interest, of and in Holocom, a California corporation that manufactures products that protect information transmitted over secure networks. The investment consisted of certain assets we contributed to Holocom valued at $250,000 and cash of $120,000. The investment is represented by 2,100,00 shares of convertible preferred stock, and the shares are convertible at our option into shares of Holocom’s common stock on a one-to-one basis. The convertible preferred stock entitles us to receive non-cumulative dividends at the per annum rate of $0.04 per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of Holocom. The investment in Holocom’s convertible preferred stock also entitles us to a liquidation preference of $0.40 per share, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends.

We reviewed the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements to determine whether our convertible preferred stock investment in Holocom was in substance an investment in common stock pursuant to authoritative guidance. We determined that, because the liquidation preference is substantive, the subordination characteristics of the preferred stock are not substantially similar to the subordination characteristics of Holocom’s common stock. We also evaluated our voting rights pursuant to other agreements with Holocom and, when considered together with authoritative guidance , we believe that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Holocom. As a result, we are accounting for our investment in Holocom at cost.

During March 2007, we entered into a revolving line of credit with Holocom which caused us to have a variable interest in Holocom and we were required to consolidate Holocom as a variable interest entity. Prior to initial consolidation, we recognized a $126,746 impairment loss on our preferred stock investment for the losses of Holocom for the period February 2007 through March 26, 2007. During May 2009, we deconsolidated Holocom due to a re-consideration event (see Note 12). At November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, our investment in Holocom is $435,182 and has been recorded as “Investments in Affiliated Companies” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

12. Formerly Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

As stated in Note 11, in February 2007, we invested an aggregate of $370,000 in Holocom for 2,100,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. On March 27, 2007, we entered into an 18-month revolving line of credit with Holocom for a maximum amount of $500,000. As a result of the line of credit, we had a variable interest in Holocom, a variable interest entity, and we had determined that we were the primary beneficiary as we absorbed more than half of the variable interest entity’s expected losses. On August 29, 2008 Holocom paid the remaining balance due on the March 2007 line of credit and provided us notice effectively terminating the line of credit on August 29, 2008. During July 2008, Holocom obtained a credit facility for up to $300,000 from a third party, the facility’s term extended to May 1, 2009, and was guaranteed by us. As a result of our guarantee on the third party credit facility, which we were not contractually required to provide, we maintained a variable interest in Holocom as we are obligated under the guarantee to repay the third party should Holocom default on the credit facility. During May 2009, Holocom paid the balance due on the July 2008 facility, releasing our guarantee. As a result of this re-consideration event, we are no longer the sole source of financial support and the primary beneficiary for Holocom; accordingly on May 1, 2009 we deconsolidated Holocom from our financial results.

13. Notes Payable

On October 14, 2008, we borrowed $3,000,000 on our credit facility with Wedbush, the proceeds of which is included in cash and cash equivalents at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009. Per requirements of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the credit facility is limited to 50% of the par value of our outstanding auction rate securities. As of the date of this filing, the par value of our outstanding auction rate securities was $8,050,000, which limits our credit facility to $4,025,000. The facility is collateralized by the full value of the outstanding auction rate securities, requires no origination fee and bears interest at the federal funds rate plus 3%. At November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, the balance included accrued interest on the credit facility of $81,846 and $41,577, respectively, at an approximate rate of 3.25%.

Litigation

Patent Litigation

On February 8, 2008, we, TPL and Alliacense Ltd. were named as defendants in three separate lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Asustek Computer, Inc., HTC Corporation, and Acer, Inc., and affiliated entities of each of them.

The Asustek case sought declaratory relief that its products do not infringe enforceable claims of the '336 and '584 patents and US 5,440,749 (the “749 patent”). The Asustek case also sought a similar declaration with respect to two patents owned by TPL that are not a part of the MMP Portfolio, and as such we are not engaged in this aspect of the litigation and defense. On December 22, 2008, we announced that Asustek had purchased a MMP Portfolio license.

The Acer case seeks declaratory relief that its products do not infringe enforceable claims of the '336, '584, ‘749, '148 patents and US 5,530,890 (the “890 patent”). The HTC case similarly seeks declaratory relief that its products do not infringe enforceable claims of those patents. We allege counterclaims for patent infringement of the '336, '749, '148 and '890 patents against Acer and HTC. On June 16, 2009, District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel stayed the HTC and Acer actions until September 18, 2009. The stay has been extended through February 12, 2010.

On December 1, 2008, we, TPL and Alliacense, Ltd. were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Barco, N.V. The Barco case seeks declaratory relief that its products do not infringe enforceable claims of the '584, '749 and '890 patents. We allege counterclaims for patent infringement of our '749, '890 and '336 patents. On June 22, 2009, Judge Fogel also stayed the Barco case until September 18, 2009, and that stay has been extended through February 12, 2010.

On April 29, 2009, we, TPL, and Alliacense Ltd., were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Sirius XM Radio, Inc. The Sirius case seeks declaratory relief that its products do not infringe enforceable claims of our '749, '584, '890, '360 and '148 patents, and additionally two patents of TPL's "fast logic" portfolio which do not involve us. Our Motion to Transfer the Sirius action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has been briefed to the court and set for hearing on February 16, 2010.

Deutsche Bank Arbitration

On October 16, 2008, we initiated binding arbitration claims before FINRA against Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and affiliates ("DBSI") based on advisory services provided to us resulting in our purchases of auction rate securities ("ARS") and the failure of the ARS market in February 2008. We experienced a loss of liquidity and other damages as a result and allege DBSI engaged in negligence and nondisclosure in providing us services. DBSI has answered our claims, and an arbitration panel has been selected. Document discovery has been initiated. Some instruments have been repurchased by the issuers since the claim was filed (see Note 17). The arbitration is expected to be scheduled in Spring 2010.

DBSI's parent, Deutsche Bank AG, denied being required to arbitrate the dispute with DBSI before FINRA, and so we filed an action against Deutsche Bank AG in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California based on its liability with respect to our investments in ARS. A stay of this action will likely be in place through the FINRA arbitration with DBSI.

Crossflo Systems, Inc. Litigation

Under the terms of our Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Crossflo, and certain of its principal officers, an escrow account was established to hold back approximately 10% of the merger consideration payable to the shareholders of Crossflo (the "Escrow Merger Consideration"). We contend that certain representations and warranties made by Crossflo and certain of its principal officers in the Merger Agreement were false when made, and were false as of the closing of the merger. We submitted a demand to the escrow agent on August 31, 2009 not to release the Escrow Merger Consideration to the Crossflo shareholders and to instead return it to us. A sufficient number of Crossflo shareholders have opposed our demand that the escrow consideration has not been released to either side.

On August 31, 2009, we initiated an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association against the three Crossflo principal officers who were signatories to the Merger Agreement for having provided false representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and for nondisclosure of information about Crossflo during the due diligence process leading up to the merger. Those three principal officers deny our claims. An arbitration date has not yet been set.

401(k) Plan

Patriot and PDSG have retirement plans that comply with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible to participate in the plans. Patriot matches 50% of each participant’s voluntary contributions, subject to a maximum contribution of 6% of the participant’s compensation. Patriot’s participants vest 33% per year over a three year period in their contributions. Patriot’s matching contributions during the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 were $11,625 and $6,457, respectively. PDSG does not match participant voluntary contributions.

Guarantees and Indemnities

We have made certain guarantees and indemnities, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party. We indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware and California for PDSG. In connection with our facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Pursuant to the acquisition of Crossflo, we have indemnified the former owners of Crossflo for any claims or losses resulting from any untrue, allegedly untrue or misleading statement made in a registration statement, prospectus or similar document. Additionally, we have agreed to indemnify the former owners of Crossflo against losses up to a maximum of the merger consideration for damages resulting from breach of representations or warranties in connection with the acquisition.

Bonuses

In connection with the acquisition of Crossflo, retention bonuses are to be paid to individuals who were Crossflo employees pre-merger who remain with PDSG until March 1, 2010. In connection with the acquisition of Vigilys, a retention bonus is to be paid to a key employee who remains with PDSG until March 27, 2010. The projected liability for such bonuses is $75,000. These liabilities are being accrued ratably over the retention periods.

By the terms of his employment contract our CFO, who also currently serves as our interim CEO, is eligible to earn an annual bonus equivalent to 50% of his base salary. In connection with management’s restructuring plan on October 5, 2009 our Compensation Committee determined that this bonus would be payable at the end of the interim period. The projected liability for such bonus is $145,875 and has been recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet in “accrued expenses and other” at November 30, 2009.

Escrow Shares

On August 31, 2009, we gave notice to the former shareholders of Crossflo and Union Bank of California (the “Escrow Agent”) under Section 2.5 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between us and Crossflo (the “Agreement”), outlining damages incurred by us in conjunction with the acquisition of Crossflo, and seeking the return of 2,844,630 shares of our common stock held by the Escrow Agent. Subsequently, former shareholders of Crossflo representing a majority of the escrowed shares responded in protest to our claim, delaying the release of the escrowed shares until a formal resolution is reached. In the event we fail to prevail in our claim against the escrowed shares, we may be obligated to deposit into escrow approximately $256,000 of cash consideration due to the decline in our average stock price over the one year escrow period, calculated in accordance with the Section 2.5 of the Agreement. We have evaluated the potential for loss regarding our claim and believe that we will prevail. Accordingly, we have not recorded a contingent liability for this matter.

Severance Payments

In connection with management’s restructuring plan, on October 7, 2009, we entered into a Separation Agreement with our former CEO which requires us to pay his base salary for the next seven months in exchange for a general release of claims against us. At November 30, 2009, the current balance of the liability is $116,254 and we have recorded the liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet in “accrued expenses and other”.

16. Segment Information

Holocom began operations in February 2007 and we consolidated Holocom in our consolidated financial statements commencing in March 2007. Due to a re-consideration event we deconsolidated Holocom May 1, 2009 (see Note 12). Holocom was an operating segment as revenue was 10% or more of the total revenue of all operating segments.

Holocom is engaged in the business of developing and manufacturing network-security hardware for sale to government, military, and other high-security facilities. There was no inter-segment revenue, and the accounting policies for segment reporting were the same as for us as a whole.

We acquired PDSG in a series of transactions in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009 and consolidate our wholly-owned subsidiary PDSG in our consolidated financial statements. PDSG provides data sharing services and products to the public sector. There is no inter-segment revenue and the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for us as a whole.

These reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

The “all other” category includes the results for Patriot Scientific Corporation.

Operating segment net revenue, operating loss and income (loss) before taxes and minority interest for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

17. Subsequent Events

During the period December 1, 2009 through January 8, 2010, we purchased 156,447 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $26,245 pursuant to our stock buyback program.

On December 1, 2009, we paid Verras the final $100,000 payment pursuant to the asset purchase agreement.

On December 1, 2009, $350,000 of our ARS was redeemed by the issuers at par.

On December 3, 2009, we issued 400,000 stock options from our 2006 Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of $0.18 to our new director. 200,000 options are not presently exercisable and are subject to meeting vesting criteria.

On December 8, 2009, we and TPL each made a $500,000 capital contribution to PDS. The capital contribution was used to remit indirect and special litigation support payments to TPL.

Patriot Scientific Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsequent Events (continued)

On December 9, 2009, a director exercised stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $7,449.

On December 12, 2009 our note receivable with Avot became due. We have granted Avot a temporary forbearance until January 31, 2010 while Avot is in negotiations for the sale of its business.

On December 22, 2009, we paid Avot the final $50,000 installment pursuant to the development agreement with PDSG.

On December 24, 2009 we loaned $950,000 to TPL, to cover operating costs in furtherance of MMP portfolio licensing, which is due and payable on or before July 12, 2010. Terms of the loan require interest payable at the rate of 10%, and the loan is secured by TPL’s portion of its license receivable distribution currently accounted for as license fees receivable on the November 30, 2009 balance sheet of PDS (see Note 11).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND THE REST OF THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-Q INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED AND FROM HISTORICAL RESULTS DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW UNDER THE SUB-HEADING, "RISK FACTORS". SEE ALSO OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2009.

Overview

In June 2005, we entered into a series of agreements with Technology Properties Limited (“TPL”) and others to facilitate the pursuit of unlicensed users of our intellectual property. We intend to continue our joint venture with TPL to pursue license agreements with unlicensed users of our technology. We believe that utilizing the option of working through TPL, as compared to creating and using our own licensing team for those activities, avoids a competitive devaluation of our principal assets and is a prudent way to achieve the desired results as we seek to obtain fair value from users of our intellectual property.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2009 and through the date of this filing we and TPL each contributed $580,000 to fund the working capital of Phoenix Digital Solutions, LLC (“PDS”). We expect the contributions to continue in the future due to the working capital demands of PDS. Additionally, through the date of this filing we have loaned TPL $950,000 to cover operating costs in furtherance of MMP portfolio licensing.

On October 5, 2009, we announced a reorganization of Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc. (“PDSG”) and our management. On November 12, 2009, we announced our intent to divest the Iameter portfolio of data analysis and software programs. As a result of our reorganization and PDSG’s continued inability to meet its business plan, we have incurred impairment charges for our intangibles and goodwill in the PDSG segment of our business. We continue to fund the day to day operating costs of PDSG while continuing to reduce expenses.

Cash shortfalls currently experienced by PDS and TPL, and continued negative cash flows incurred by PDSG, will have an adverse effect on our liquidity. Accordingly, we are in the process of examining alternatives that could allow for the partnering or divestiture of PDSG. If successful, these measures may provide for a further reduction in expenses and cash use, or additionally in the event of divestiture, cash proceeds.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates and judgments that significantly affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

1. Revenue Recognition

Historically we recognized revenue from the sale of our microprocessor chips upon shipment to the customer, at which time title transferred and we had no further obligations. We discontinued the sale of our microprocessor chips during the first fiscal quarter of 2009. Revenue from technology license agreements is recognized at the time a contract is entered into, the license method is determined (paid-in-advance or on-going royalty), and the customer is provided with the licensed technology, if applicable. Fees for maintenance or support are recorded on a straight-line basis over the underlying period of performance.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary PDSG sells software and services to end users primarily through relationships with systems integrators and prime contractors. PDSG’s revenue is derived primarily from the following sources: (i) software licensing, (ii) related professional services, and (iii) post contract customer support (“PCS”) agreements. PCS agreements typically include software updates, on a when and if available basis, and telephone and Internet access to technical support personnel. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and to maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Revenue for support services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the support period.

When a sale involves multiple elements, PDSG allocates the entire fee from the arrangement to each respective element based on its Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value and recognizes revenue when each element’s revenue recognition criteria are met. VSOE of fair value for each element is established based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. PDSG has not yet demonstrated VSOE for the professional services that are rendered in conjunction with its software license sales. Accordingly, we have combined their presentation on our consolidated statements of operations under the caption “License and service revenue.”

The majority of PDSG’s contracts with customers, including systems integrators and prime contractors, are multiple element arrangements which contain professional services that are considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement. PDSG accounts for revenue on these arrangements according to authoritative guidance for contract accounting. PDSG recognizes revenue based on progress towards contract completion measured by actual hours incurred in relation to the estimate of total expected hours. PDSG measures revenues by applying the contract-specific estimated percentage of completion to the total contract amount for software and professional services. PDSG routinely updates the estimates of future hours for agreements in process and reports any cumulative effects of such adjustments in current operations. PDSG immediately recognizes any loss expected on these contracts when it is projected that a loss is probable.

In certain situations where PDSG’s customer contracts contain acceptance criteria or other conditions that are deemed adverse to the probability of collection, revenues recognized are limited to the amount of cash already collected.

Prior to its deconsolidation on May 1, 2009, our variable interest entity, Holocom, Inc. (“Holocom”) recognized revenue upon shipment of its product or upon receipt of its product by the customer when shipped FOB destination and recognized revenue on its short-term installation contracts as time and materials costs were incurred.

2. Assessment of Contingent Liabilities

We are involved in various legal matters, disputes, and patent infringement claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We accrue for any estimated losses at the time when we can make a reliable estimate of such loss and it is probable that it has been incurred. By their very nature, contingencies are difficult to estimate. We continually evaluate information related to all contingencies to determine that the basis on which we have recorded our estimated exposure is appropriate.

3. Stock Options and Warrants

We follow authoritative guidance which establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. We are required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards ultimately expected to vest during the period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 of approximately 5% was based on historical forfeiture experience and estimated future employee forfeitures. The estimated term of option grants for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 was five years.

4. Income Taxes

We must assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we must increase our provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable. We believe that a substantial majority of the deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet will ultimately be recovered. However, should there be a change in our ability to recover the deferred tax assets; the tax provision would increase in the period in which we determined that the recovery was not probable.

We follow authoritative guidance to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. This authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement requirement for the financial statement recognition of a tax position that has been taken or is expected to be taken on a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under this guidance we may only recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold.

5. Investments in Affiliated Companies

We have a 50% interest in PDS. We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is presented in the consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliated companies.”

We have a 39.4% interest in Talis Data Systems, LLC (“Talis”). Prior to the write off of our investment in Talis during the quarter ended August 31, 2009, we were accounting for our investment using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, was adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and was presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliated companies.”

The inability of Talis to meet its business plan and to raise capital and the general economic environment were indicators of impairment on our investment; accordingly at August 31, 2009, management obtained a third party valuation of Talis from Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. Based on the results of the valuation, it was determined that our investment in Talis was impaired by approximately $680,000. We have recorded this as an impairment of investment in affiliated company on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2009. Talis is currently in the process of dissolution.

We own 37.1% of the preferred stock of Avot Media, Inc. (“Avot”). This investment is accounted for at cost since we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Avot.

Avot is currently undergoing negotiations for the sale of its business. As a result of preliminary proposals from potential acquirers we expect to receive payment for our note receivable with Avot, but do not expect there will be adequate consideration to liquidate the carrying value of our preferred stock investment. Accordingly, at November 30, 2009, we have written off $433,333, which represents the remaining fair value of our preferred stock investment in Avot. We have recorded this as an impairment of investment in affiliated companies on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

In September 2009, we entered into an agreement with Avot in which Avot will develop a software package for PDSG’s Vigilys product. In connection with the agreement, Avot issued us 1,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Avot’s common stock ,with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and a 36 month exercise period. The value attributed to the warrants was insignificant.

6. Business Combinations and Intangible Assets Including Goodwill

We account for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Due to the time it takes to obtain pertinent information to finalize the acquired company’s balance sheet, it may be several quarters before we are able to finalize the initial fair value estimates. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for the initial estimates to be subsequently revised. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or sooner if an indicator of impairment occurs.

Holocom

During the three months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded sales amounting to approximately $1,611,000 by our then consolidated variable interest entity, Holocom, with cost of sales amounting to approximately $700,000. Due to a re-consideration event we deconsolidated Holocom in May 2009 and no longer include Holocom’s revenues in our results of operations.

PDSG

We acquired PDSG in a series of transactions in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. Revenue consists of software licenses and associated services relating to PDSG’s CDX data agent product and the Sherlock™ software tool for medical facilities. Cost of sales includes the direct time of PDSG employees on each project as well as outside contractors.

Revenues decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2008 due primarily to the inclusion in the 2008 period of amounts from a significant customer agreement not duplicated in 2009. Also in 2009, revenue progress on contracts was slowed primarily as a result of customer initiated delays resulting in lower than planned revenues. In general, revenue agreements are one time contracts that vary in size and scope depending upon the requirements of the customer.

The impairment charge for the three months ended November 30, 2009 represents the write off of PDSG’s purchased intangibles to a fair value of $1,860,000 at November 30, 2009. These assets were subject to revaluation pursuant to a reconsideration event which also drove the restructuring of PDSG initiated in October 2009. The impairment is primarily attributable to management’s current assessment of reduced revenue and resultant cash flow projections as compared to what previously had been the expectations for the business..

PTSC

During the three months ended November 30, 2008, we recognized maintenance fee revenues totaling $6,250 in connection with an agreement with AMD Corporation during the 2005 fiscal year. The agreement called for maintenance fees totaling $100,000 connected with a license agreement for our Ignite technology; the license fee revenue was being recognized as revenue evenly over the four year period of the license, which ended in February 2009.

Consolidated

Our revenues decreased from approximately $1,875,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $66,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2009, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Holocom. Our revenue amounts do not include income of approximately $251,000 and $3,737,000, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, from our investment in PDS and losses of approximately $141,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008, from our investment in Talis.

PDSG

Research and development costs consist of PDSG’s payroll and related expenses for software engineers as well as outside contractors retained to assist in the development of PDSG’s software product. For the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $3,400 and $400 of non-cash compensation was recorded in connection with vesting of employee stock options. The increase in expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009 is primarily due to the acquisition of the Vigilys employees in March 2009 and the development agreement with Avot.

Holocom

During the three months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded selling, general and administrative expenses amounting to approximately $568,000 by our then consolidated variable interest entity, Holocom. Due to a re-consideration event we deconsolidated Holocom in May 2009 (see Note 12).

PDSG

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $638,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008, to approximately $866,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2009, primarily due to severance payments of approximately $101,000 and approximately $70,000 in marketing costs. For the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $10,850 and $15,570 of non-cash compensation was recorded in connection with vesting of employee stock options.

PTSC

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $972,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $1,145,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2009. The increase consisted of approximately $170,000 in legal and accounting expense and approximately $136,000 in consulting expense. These increases were offset by decreases in public and investor relations expenses of approximately $112,000 and approximately $43,000 in travel and related expenses. For the three months ended November 30, 2009, approximately $105,000 of non-cash compensation was recorded in connection with vesting of employee stock options as compared to approximately $142,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008.

Consolidated

Consolidated

Our other income and expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009 included equity in the income of PDS consisting of net income after expenses in the amount of approximately $3,737,000. For the three months ended November 30, 2008, our other income and expenses included our share of income in PDS of approximately $251,000 and our share of loss in Talis of approximately $141,000. The increase in income from PDS for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended November 30, 2008 is due to the increase in license revenues PDS received for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 as compared with license revenues received by PDS for the quarter ended November 30, 2008. Our investments in PDS and Talis are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting for investments. Total other income for the three months ended November 30, 2009 amounted to net other income of approximately $3,310,000 compared with net other income of approximately $238,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. Interest income and other income decreased from approximately $145,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $26,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2009 due to declines in interest rates for our cash, cash equivalents and long term investment accounts. For the three months ended November 30, 2009, we recorded an impairment of our investment in Avot of approximately $433,000.

During the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a benefit for income taxes of approximately $1,302,000 and $632,000 related to federal and California taxes.

We recorded a net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2009 of $2,746,620 compared with a net loss of $932,259 for the three months ended November 30, 2008.

Holocom

During the six months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded sales amounting to approximately $2,930,000 by our then consolidated variable interest entity, Holocom, with cost of sales amounting to approximately $1,285,000. Due to a re-consideration event we deconsolidated Holocom in May 2009 and no longer include Holocom’s revenues in our results of operations.

PDSG

Revenues decreased during the six months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2008 due primarily to the inclusion in the 2008 period of amounts from a significant customer agreement not duplicated in 2009.

In addition during the six months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded sales of approximately $33,000, from the sale of microprocessor chips that we no longer market. Inventory associated with the sales of these microprocessor chips is carried at zero value. Our final sales of microprocessor chips occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2008.

Consolidated

Our revenues decreased from approximately $3,234,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $163,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Holocom. Our revenue amounts do not include income of approximately $6,873,000 and $3,494,000, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, from our investment in PDS and losses of approximately $204,000 and $22,000, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, from our investment in Talis.

PDSG

We acquired PDSG in a series of transactions in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $638,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008 represent costs from September 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008 as compared to approximately $1,876,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009. Increases are primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $692,000 resulting from the acquisition of Iameter and Vigilys after November 30, 2008, severance payments of approximately $101,000 due to restructuring, approximately $112,000 in marketing costs and approximately $73,000 in rent expense due to the space required for the Iameter and Vigilys acquisitions after November 30, 2008. For the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $25,700 and $15,570 of non-cash compensation was recorded in connection with vesting of employee stock options.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from approximately $2,285,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $2,063,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009. The decrease consisted of approximately $20,000 in legal and accounting expense, approximately $128,000 in public and investor relations expenses and $34,000 in travel and related expenses. These decreases were offset by increases in salaries and related expenses of approximately $94,000 and approximately $46,000 in consulting expenses.

Our other income and expenses for the six months ended November 30, 2009 included equity in the income of PDS consisting of net income after expenses in the amount of approximately $3,494,000 and our share of loss in Talis of approximately $22,000. For the six months ended November 30, 2008, our other income and expenses included our share of income in PDS of approximately $6,873,000 and our share of loss in Talis of approximately $204,000. The decrease in our share of PDS’ income for the six months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to our share of PDS’ income for the six months ended November 30, 2008 is due to the decrease in the amount of license revenues PDS received for the six months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2008. Our investments in PDS and Talis are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting for investments. Total other income for the six months ended November 30, 2009 amounted to net other income of approximately $2,387,000 compared with net other income of approximately $6,905,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008. Interest income and other income decreased from approximately $258,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008 to approximately $69,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009 due to declines in interest rates for our cash, cash equivalents and long term investment accounts. For the six months ended November 30, 2009, we recorded an impairment of our investments in Talis of approximately $680,000 and Avot of approximately $433,000.

During the six months ended November 30, 2009 we recorded a benefit for income taxes of approximately $2,623,000 and during the six months ended November 30, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $1,748,000 related to federal and California taxes.

We recorded a net loss for the six months ended November 30, 2009 of $4,731,700 compared with net income of $2,277,254 for the six months ended November 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our cash and short-term investment balances increased from approximately $6,265,000 as of May 31, 2009 to approximately $11,953,000 as of November 30, 2009. We also have restricted cash balances amounting to approximately $52,000 as of May 31, 2009 and $21,000 as of November 30, 2009. Total current assets increased from approximately $8,065,000 as of May 31, 2009 to approximately $13,075,000 as of November 30, 2009. Total current liabilities amounted to approximately $1,034,000 and approximately $835,000 as of May 31, 2009 and November 30, 2009, respectively. The change in our current position as of November 30, 2009 as compared with May 31, 2009 results in part from our receipt of approximately $6,728,000 in distributions from PDS and $3,250,000 of auction rate securities redemptions at par value.

During June 2008, we obtained a credit facility for as long as needed, which provides for financing up to 50% of the par value balance of our outstanding auction rate securities. The facility is collateralized by the full value of the outstanding auction rate securities, required no origination fee, and when drawn upon will bear interest at the federal funds rate plus 3%. On October 14, 2008, we borrowed $3,000,000 on the credit facility. The amount we can borrow against our collateral, currently $4,025,000, is limited by FINRA (see Note 13).

Current global economic conditions have resulted in increased volatility in the financial markets. The cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders and institutional investors have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, and reduced or ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Adverse changes in the economy could limit our ability to obtain financing from debt or equity sources or could adversely affect the terms on which we may be able to obtain any such financing.

Cash shortfalls currently experienced by PDS and TPL, and continued negative cash flows incurred by PDSG, will have an adverse effect on our liquidity. Accordingly, we are in the process of examining alternatives that could allow for the partnering or divestiture of PDSG. If successful these measures may provide for a further reduction in expenses and cash use, or additionally in the event of divestiture, cash proceeds. Currently, we have sufficient resources to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was approximately $4,395,000 as compared with cash used in operating activities for the six months ended November 30, 2008 of approximately $4,001,000. The principal components of the current period amount were: impairment of investment in affiliated company of approximately $1,114,000, impairment of intangibles and goodwill of approximately $4,627,000 and amortization and depreciation of approximately $447,000. These increases were offset by: net loss of approximately $4,732,000, equity in earnings of affiliates of approximately $3,472,000 and changes in deferred income taxes of approximately $2,930,000. The change in results over the prior period is mainly attributable to the current period impairments, and the income in PDS for the six months ended November 30, 2009 being approximately half of the income provided by PDS during the six months ended November 30, 2008.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was approximately $9,801,000 and $3,015,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. While we experienced a decrease in distributions received from PDS for the six months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2008, the increase in cash provided by investing activities was mainly attributable to the redemption of our auction rate securities at a par value of $3,250,000 and a decrease in investments in affiliated companies. Cash used during the six months ended November 30, 2009 included approximately $70,000 in purchases of fixed assets, approximately $33,000 in purchases of Talis membership units, approximately $55,000 in note receivable advances to Avot and a $80,000 capital contribution to PDS.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was approximately $40,000 as compared to cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended November 30, 2008 of approximately $2,055,000. For the six months ended November 30, 2009, cash of approximately $40,000 was used to purchase common stock for treasury. In the six months ended November 30, 2008 we received proceeds from our note with Wedbush, these proceeds were offset by approximately $1,029,000 used to purchase common stock for treasury to provide cash from financing activities of approximately $2,000,000.

Capital Resources

Our current resources as of November 30, 2009 are expected to provide the funds necessary to support our operations through at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In September 2009, we entered into an agreement with Avot in which Avot will develop a software package for PDSG’s Vigilys product. Terms of the agreement require PDSG to pay Avot four milestone payments of $50,000 each on September 1, October 1, November 1 and December 1, 2009. In connection with the agreement, Avot issued us 1,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Avot’s common stock ,with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and a 36 month exercise period. The warrants were issued in four 250,000 installments consistent with the milestone payments. On December 22, 2009, PDSG paid Avot the final $50,000 pursuant to terms of the agreement.

By the terms of his employment contract our CFO, who also currently serves as our interim CEO, is eligible to earn an annual bonus equivalent to 50% of his base salary. In connection with management’s restructuring plan on October 5, 2009, our Compensation Committee determined that this bonus would be payable at the end of the interim period. The projected liability for such bonus is $145,875.

In connection with management’s restructuring plan, On October 7, 2009 we entered into a Separation Agreement with our former CEO which requires us to pay his base salary for the next seven months (through May 2010) in exchange for a general release of claims against us. At November 30, 2009, the current balance of the liability is $116,254.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Risk Factors

We urge you to carefully consider the following discussion of risks as well as other information regarding our common stock. We believe the following to be our most significant risk factors as of the date this report is being filed. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Please refer to our risk factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009 for additional factors.

We Have Reported Income For The Fiscal Years 2009, 2008 and 2007 Which May Not Be Indicative Of Our Future Income

We have entered into license agreements through our joint venture with TPL and have reported income as a result of this activity for the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007. Because of the uncertain nature of the negotiations that lead to license revenues, pending litigation with companies which we allege have infringed on our patent portfolio, the possibility of legislative action regarding patent rights, potential adverse outcomes associated with USPTO re-examinations, and the possible effect of new judicial interpretations of patent laws, we may not receive revenues from such agreements in the future consistent with amounts received in the past, and we may not receive future revenues from license agreements at all.

We Are Dependent Upon A Joint Venture In Which Our Role Is Of A Passive Nature For Substantially All Of Our Income

In June 2005, we entered into a joint venture with TPL, pursuant to which TPL is responsible for the licensing and enforcement of our microprocessor patent portfolio. This joint venture has been the source of substantially all of our income since June 2005. Therefore, in light of the absence of significant revenue from other sources, we should be regarded as entirely dependent on the success or failure of the licensing and prosecution efforts of TPL on behalf of the joint venture and the ability of TPL to obtain capital when necessary to fund its operations. In December 2009 we provided operational funding by loaning TPL $950,000.

A Successful Challenge To Our Intellectual Property Rights Could Have A Significant And Adverse Effect On Us

A successful challenge to our ownership of our technology or the proprietary nature of our intellectual property could materially damage our business prospects. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. We currently have seven U.S. patents, one European patent, and one Japanese patent issued. Any issued patent may be challenged and invalidated. Patents may not be issued for any of our pending applications. Any claims allowed from existing or pending patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength to provide significant protection for our products. Patents may not be issued in all countries where our products can be sold so as to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. Our competitors may also be able to design around our patents.

Vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights or positions characterize the fiercely competitive semiconductor industry, which has resulted in significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. Therefore, our competitors and others may assert that our technologies or products infringe on their patents or proprietary rights. Persons we believe are infringing our patents are likely to vigorously defend their actions and assert that our patents are invalid. Problems with patents or other rights could result in significant costs, limit future license revenue, and impair or hinder our acquisition strategy. If infringement claims against us are deemed valid or if our infringement claims are successfully opposed, we may not be able to obtain appropriate licenses on acceptable terms or at all. Litigation could be costly and time-consuming but may be necessary to protect our future patent and/or technology license positions or to defend against infringement claims. From time to time parties have petitioned the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office to re-examine certain of our patents. An adverse decision in litigation or in the re-examination process could have a very significant and adverse effect on our business.

We have been named as co-defendants in multiple lawsuits regarding the MMP Portfolio. See footnote 15 to our consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1. “Legal Proceedings” in this Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Disruptions In The Debt And Equity Markets Will Have An Adverse Affect On Our Ability To Obtain Funding

The debt and equity markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than twelve months. These issues, along with significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk, and the current weak economic conditions have made, and will likely continue to make, it difficult to obtain funding. The cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders and institutional investors have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, and reduced or ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Adverse changes in the economy could limit our ability to obtain financing from debt or equity sources or could adversely affect the terms on which we may be able to obtain any such financing for our operating activities and acquisitions. See Part I – Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Liquidity.” in this report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Unstable Market And Economic Conditions May Have Serious Adverse Consequences On Our Business

Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by the recent economic downturn and volatile business environment and continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. A prolonged or profound economic downturn may result in adverse changes to our sales and pricing, which would harm our operating results. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon development plans. There is also a possibility that our stock price may decline further, due in part to the volatility of the stock market and the general economic downturn.

Changes In Our Relationships With Companies In Which We Hold Less Than A Majority Interest Could Change The Way We Account For Such Interests In The Future

For our investment accounted for under the equity method (PDS), we record as part of other income or expense our share of the increase or decrease in the equity of this company in which we have invested. Our investment in Holocom is recorded at cost basis. It is possible that, in the future, our relationships and/or our interests in or with this equity method investee and our cost basis investee could change. Such potential future changes could result in deconsolidation or consolidation of such entities, as the case may be, which could result in changes in our reported results.

If A Large Number Of Our Shares Are Sold All At Once Or In Blocks, The Market Price Of Our Shares Would MostLikely Decline

Most of our shareholders are not restricted in the price at which they can sell their shares. Shares sold at a price below the current market price at which our Common Stock is trading may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

A Significant Portion Of Our Investments Are Currently Illiquid, Which May Impact Our Acquisition Strategy And/Or Operating Results

Our long-term investment in marketable securities balance consists of auction rate securities with a par value of approximately $8 million as of the date of this filing, which at present are highly illiquid. In the event we need immediate access to these funds, we will not be able to sell these investments at par value. These instruments are expected to remain illiquid until a future auction of these investments is successful, buyers are found outside of the auction process, or they are redeemed by the issuing agencies. We have partially offset the consequences of this illiquidity by securing a line of credit collateralized by the auction rates securities; however the amount we can borrow against our collateral is limited by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). In the event these securities are deemed to be permanently impaired, we will be required to take a charge to operations in recognition of this impairment.

The Market For Our Stock Is Subject To Rules Relating To Low-Priced Stock (“Penny Stock”) Which May Limit Our Ability To Raise Capital

Our Common Stock is currently listed for trading in the FINRA Over-The-Counter Bulletin (“OTC”) Board Market and is subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In general, the penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ or non-national stock exchange companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” on behalf of persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document, quote information, broker’s commission information and rights and remedies available to investors in penny stocks. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the penny stock rules, and as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The “penny stock rules,” therefore, may have an adverse impact on the market for our Common Stock and may affect our ability to raise additional capital if we decide to do so.

Our Share Price Could Decline As A Result Of Short Sales

When an investor sells stock that he does not own, it is known as a short sale. The seller, anticipating that the price of the stock will go down, intends to buy stock to cover his sale at a later date. If the price of the stock goes down, the seller will profit to the extent of the difference between the price at which he originally sold it less his later purchase price. Short sales enable the seller to profit in a down market. Short sales could place significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock. Penny stocks which do not trade on an exchange, such as our Common Stock, are particularly susceptible to short sales.

Our Future Success Depends In Significant Part Upon The Continued Services Of Our Key Senior Management

Our future success depends in significant part upon the continued services of our key senior management personnel. The competition for highly qualified personnel is intense, and we may not be able to retain our key managerial employees or attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. None of our employees are covered by key man life insurance policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk

The primary objective of our investment activities is to maintain surplus cash in accounts that provide a high level of funds accessibility in large, respected financial institutions with asset safety as a primary consideration. Accordingly, we maintain our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Amounts deposited with these institutions may exceed federal depository insurance limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We maintain cash and cash equivalents in institutional money market accounts. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.

Our commercial checking account is linked to a sweep account. This sweep account is maintained by our financial institution in an offshore account located in the Cayman Islands. This sweep account is a deposit liability of our financial institution, the funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”); in liquidation the funds have a lesser preference than deposits held in the United States, and the funds are subject to cross-border risks.

Auction Rate Securities

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our auction rate securities. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, investment banks were reporting an inability to successfully obtain subscribers for high credit quality auction rate securities. As of the date of this filing, we held such auction rate securities with a par value totaling $8 million that failed to sell at auction. During June 2009, September 2009 and December 2009, auction rate securities with a par value of $750,000, $2,500,000 and $350,000, respectively, were redeemed by the issuers at par value. In the event we need to access funds invested in these auction rate securities we will not be able to liquidate these securities until a future auction of these securities is successful, they are refinanced and redeemed by the issuers, or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. The investments consist of student loan auction rate instruments issued by various state agencies pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (“FFELP”). These investments are of high credit quality and the AAA credit ratings of the investments have been reaffirmed since November 2009. These instruments are collateralized in excess of the underlying obligations, are insured by the various state educational agencies, and are guaranteed by the Department of Education as an insurer of last resort.

At November 30, 2009, the fair value of our auction rate securities was estimated at $7.7 million based on a valuation by Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. We recorded the net temporary valuation adjustment of $391,366 in other comprehensive income, which represents the gross valuation adjustment of $656,122, net of the related tax benefit of $264,756. We have concluded that the unrealized losses on these investments are temporary because (i) we believe that the decline in market value and absence of liquidity that has occurred is due to general market conditions, (ii) the auction rate securities continue to be of a high credit quality and interest is paid as due and (iii) we do not intend to sell our auction rate securities before we are able to recover our cost basis and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell our auction rate securities before recovery of our cost basis. Since this valuation adjustment is deemed to be temporary, it did not affect our earnings for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

We are not currently able to predict how long these investments will remain illiquid, and as such, they have been classified as long-term investments in marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009. The December 1, 2009 auction rate securities redeemed at par value have been classified as short term investments in marketable securities at November 30, 2009.

The fair value of our long-term investments in marketable securities could change significantly in the future and we may be required to record other-than-temporary impairment charges or additional unrealized losses in future periods.

We do not believe that the illiquidity of these investments will materially impact our ability to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures or other business requirements.

During June 2008, we obtained a credit facility which provides for financing up to 50% of the par value balance of our outstanding auction rate securities. The facility is collateralized by the full value of the outstanding auction rate securities, required no origination fee, and when drawn upon will bear interest at the federal funds rate plus 3%. On October 14, 2008 we drew $3,000,000 on the credit facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of November 30, 2009, the end of the period to which this quarterly report relates, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2009, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
