Richard Moskowitz, Perceptronics' CEO, said, "The second quarter and following few weeks included a number of highly positive events for Perceptronics. Our divestiture of the PGTS operation cleared the way for a full focus on our IC3D business. We are now 'nothing but net,' and happy to be so." "Our recent move to Beverly Hills has improved our working environment and brought us closer to our local customers and partners. And, most important, our initial sale of a IC3D/Wyth license to the prestigious DNA Studio for a multi-player game application has validated our business strategy and pointed the way to many future opportunities, such as the recently announced OZ Entertainment Company connection." Moskowitz continued, "Perceptronics' IC3D(TM) Framework is at the intersection of today's three biggest trends for Internet growth: peer-to-peer computing, collaborative interaction and streaming media. We are confident our customers and the financial community will recognize the benefits that the IC3D Framework and IC3D/Wyth software can bring immediately to thousands of online applications."
