COSINE COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA, March 13, 2008 -- CoSine Communications, Inc. (COSN.PK), today announced net income of $416,000 or $0.04 per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to net income of $449,000 or $0.04 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $73,000 or $0.01 per share as compared to net income of $595,000 or $0.06 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Net income for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2006 included a $640,000 gain on liquidation of foreign subsidiaries. The gain is due to the cumulative effect of gains and losses of converting foreign subsidiaries financial statements into United States dollars. This gain, which had been deferred prior to the year ended December 31, 2006, was recognized in 2006 with the liquidation of the subsidiaries.
 
CoSine’s strategic plan is to redeploy its existing resources to identify and acquire new business operations. As a part of its strategic plan, the Company completed the sale of its intellectual property and closed its customer service operations effective December 31, 2006.
 
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 candidates have been identified, and 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.
