"However, I do believe the initial settlement would of greater benefit if it was cash only, whatever DM can negotiate as a fair settlement."

Keep in mind, we're talking only of the Vivitar deal.....same question to you, that I asked SP.

Do you feel this issue to be thin or substantial between Syntax and Sakar?....last value of the company was 26mil.

IMO, there's not much there other than the name.

I would not just settle for whatever cash is available...I say we own half the value of the name now, if they want to settle.

Scenario, Some cash is aviable, a bit to e.Digital a fair amount to DM. We end up with stock for the consideration of allowing whatever remaining balance of infringement as a liability on the balance sheet, with interest, having a repayment schedule.

Between DM and e.Digital....I say, as an adjustment example, for every dollar DM recives in cash, e.Digital recives 2(or what ever incrument deamed fair), if they carry a balance proceed into the balance sheet to make the deal settle. Just a consideration if DM do not wish to be involved.

We'd be no worse off than we are now, perhaps a bit of our IFE will start to flow ...along with the payment schedual I mentioned, we're now in the money business.

The only other option..DM wiggles a substancial cash settlement, as you suggest and Sakar comes up wit what ever Syntax is short.

IMO..that Oct deadline date Larry mentioned....siginals the end of something.
