Ableauctions Enters into License Agreement

Under the terms of the License Agreement, ABC has sublicensed all of iCollector's auction and auction-hosting related technology, domain names, intellectual property and various other assets (including those assets used in the operations of NAALive) ("Licensed Assets") in consideration for 50% of net profits realized from the operations of ABC or 10% of ABC's net auction revenue. The Company continues to own the Licensed Assets and will own any enhancements made to the Licensed Assets by ABC or any of its affiliates in the future. ABC has also hired all of iCollector's employees as of the effective date and has begun performing iCollector's obligations under its auction and auction-hosting agreements.

Going forward, both parties will continue to look for a suitable buyer or partner for the iCollector business. If the Company completes a sale or license of the iCollector business, then ABC will receive a minimum of 25% of the consideration payable to the Company upon completion of the transaction.

The License Agreement follows aggressive moves by the Company in implementing cost controls and other required changes in order to withstand the downturn in the auction marketplace and the economy. Following eBay's decision to suspend its live auction platform, the Company's subsidiary, iCollector, now operates using its own technology platform and has completely terminated the eBay Live Auction portion of its business.

Pursuant to the strategic restructuring plan announced on August 14, 2008, the Company plans to enter into similar arrangements for its point-of-sale operations and its liquidation business in the coming quarter. The Company is also continuing its efforts to seek out a merger partner or acquire the assets of a privately held company. In the absence of a definitive transaction, the Company intends to continue managing its investment and real estate development portfolio.
