SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 13, 2012) - e.Digital Corporation (OTCQB: EDIG), a long standing source of innovation and future-defining patented technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2013, ended September 30, 2012.

The Company reported a net loss of $376,005 or $(0.00) per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to a net income of $163,430 or $0.00 per share for the prior year's second quarter. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013 revenues totaled $124,949 compared to $1,042,491 for the second quarter of the prior year. The most recent quarter included $2,000 of patent license revenues compared to $904,338 for the second quarter of the prior year. Gross profit for the second quarter was $24,801 or 20% of revenues, compared to $598,965 or 57% of revenues, for the prior year's second quarter. Operating expenses increased to $400,806 from $334,510 for the prior year's comparable quarter primarily due to increased patent related costs.

For the six months ended September 30, 2012 the Company reported a net loss of $708,988 or $(0.00) per share on revenues of $257,495. For the comparable six months of the prior year the Company reported net income of $894,667 or $0.00 per share on revenues of $3,224,306. The Company's results are impacted by the timing and amount of license fees and there were no significant licensing revenues so far in fiscal 2013. The reexamination of two of the Company's patents had stifled the Company's patent enforcement activities.

"Now that the reexamination of the Company's '774 and '737 patents has been favorably concluded, we are aggressively pursuing Flash-R™ patent monetization activities," commented Fred Falk, President and CEO of e.Digital. "As we recently announced, we have engaged a new law firm and have filed infringement lawsuits against six manufacturers, including many of their distributors and retailers."

The Company has been granted four patents for context and interpersonal awareness systems technologies that are the foundation of the Nunchi™ patent portfolio. The Company also received Issue Notifications from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for two more Nunchi related patents. "With granted patent rights in hand, we expect increased awareness and interest in our intellectual property assets by companies that are developing context awareness based technologies, as well as hardware manufacturers and wireless communications providers," continued Falk. "We have several patent continuations in progress which we expect will continue to add value to our growing portfolio."
