CoSine Communications Announces Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

November 6, 2009

LOS GATOS, Calif., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CoSine Communications, Inc. (Pink Sheets: COSN), today announced net loss of $139,000 or $(0.01) loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared to net income of $2,000 or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

CoSine's strategic plan is to redeploy its existing resources to identify and acquire new business operations.

About Cosine Communications

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

The company uses words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "expect," "future," "intend" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.

Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, Cosine's ability to identify and effectuate desirable strategic acquisitions, the time and costs required to explore and investigate possible transactions and other corporate actions, management and board interest in and distraction due to exploring and investigating strategic alternatives, the reactions, either positive or negative, of investors, competitors, customers, employees and others to CoSine exploring and executing possible strategic acquisitions. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect CoSine's business is contained in its SEC filings, including its most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors." Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof. CoSine undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.
