Revenues from continuing operations, consisting of rental revenue from the Company's real  estate, was $111,000 and $710,000, for the quarter and year ended July 27, 2013, respectively.  Cost of sales, consisting of depreciation and rental-related costs was $175,000 and $453,000 for the quarter and year ended July 27, 2013, respectively. Operating expenses, consisting of general and administrative expenses, were $325,000 and $2,114,000, for the quarter and year ended July 27, 2013, respectively.

Net income (loss) was $(142,000) and $6,515,000 for the quarter and year ended July 27, 2013, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

DGT Holdings' working capital at July 27, 2013 was $49,620,000 which included $8,997,000 of unrestricted cash, $1,250,000 of restricted cash and $38,611,000 of investments.

OTHER

Since the Company's two active business  operations have been sold, and due to the substantial gains realized on the sale of those operations, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that the Company's remaining net operating losses (NOLs) no longer have significant value to the Company. In addition, our majority shareholder, Steel Partners Holdings LP, has requested that the Board provide Steel Partners with greater flexibility to acquire additional shares of the Company's common stock from time to time, should it desire to do so, in privately negotiated or open market transactions or otherwise, and depending upon price and availability. To the extent such incremental acquisitions by Steel Partners could provide additional liquidity to the Company's minority shareholders, and since the value of the NOLs is no longer sufficient in the Board's judgment to justify the restrictions imposed by the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 22, 2007, between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC, the  Board , by unanimous vote of the independent directors, approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement accelerating the expiration date of the Rights Agreement from February 2, 2017 to November 1, 2013.   Accordingly, as of November 1, 2013, the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement will expire and will no longer be outstanding, and the Rights Agreement will terminate.  Shareholders do not have to take any action as a result of this termination.
