Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (OTC: CDCO) (?Comdisco?) today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2010. Comdisco emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on August 12, 2002 and, under its Plan of Reorganization (the ?Plan?), its business purpose is limited to the orderly sale or run-off of all its remaining assets.

Operating Results: For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Comdisco reported net earnings of approximately $18,000, or $0.00 per common share (basic and diluted). The per share results for Comdisco are based on 4,029,055 shares of common stock outstanding on average during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, total revenue decreased by 37 percent to approximately $177,000. The decrease is primarily the result of lower gains on the sale of equity securities and lower interest income during the second quarter. Gains were approximately $25,000 for the second quarter compared to gains of approximately $126,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and interest income was down $123,000 from the prior quarter. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $9,158,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $5,861,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Total assets are approximately $68,631,000 as of March 31, 2010, which included approximately $57,570,000 of unrestricted cash and short-term investments, compared to total assets of approximately $76,890,000 as of September 30, 2009, which included approximately $66,065,000 of unrestricted cash. The decrease in cash is primarily a result of a $7,054,000 payment of a Canadian tax liability paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

As a result of bankruptcy restructuring transactions, the adoption of fresh-start reporting and multiple asset sales, Comdisco's financial results are not comparable to those of its predecessor company, Comdisco, Inc. Please refer to Comdisco's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on May 12, 2010 for complete financial statements and other important disclosures.

About Comdisco

Comdisco emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on August 12, 2002. The purpose of reorganized Comdisco is to sell, collect or otherwise reduce to money in an orderly manner the remaining assets of the corporation. Pursuant to the Plan and restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, Comdisco is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose. Accordingly, within the next few years, it is anticipated that Comdisco will have reduced all of its assets to cash and made distributions of all available cash to holders of its common stock and contingent distribution rights in the manner and priorities set forth in the Plan. At that point, the company will cease operations. The company filed on August 12, 2004 a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to formally extinguish Comdisco Holding Company, Inc.'s corporate existence with the State of Delaware except for the purpose of completing the wind-down contemplated by the Plan.
