2001 - Robert Putnam Senior Vice President e.Digital Corporation. As an OEM technology provider, we work with our OEM customers and their preferences in regards to announcements, marketing and the use of their names and logos. The information that Samsung and Toshiba have allowed us to make public to date we have issued.

Both of these agreements are royalty-bearing and also include non-recurring revenues for engineering design services.
