EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
 
This Amendment No. 5 amends and the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 initially filed on September  3, 2010 and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 12, 2010, Amendment No, 2 filed on October 27, 2010, Amendment No. 3 filed on November 9, 2010 and Amendment No. 4 filed on November 29, 2010 (as amended, the “Schedule 13E-3”) and is being filed by CoSine Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a proposed transaction to deregister its shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), under the federal securities laws. This Amendment No. 5 is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) as a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 solely to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction described below.
 
Amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Company’s certificate of incorporation providing for a 1-for-500 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of Common Stock, followed immediately by 500-for-1 forward split (the “Forward Split” and, together with the Reverse Split, the “Transaction”) of the Common Stock were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 20, 2011. The Amendments were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 27, 2010 and by stockholders holding the requisite number of shares of the Company’s capital stock on January 10, 2011.  Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split on January 21, 2011, stockholders of record (as identified in the Company’s  records of security holders) holding fewer than 500 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split became entitled to a cash payment equal to $2.24 per share of Common Stock held by them, on a pre-split basis, without interest. Stockholders of record (as identified in the Company’s  records of security holders)  holding 500 or more shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split and by beneficial owners holding in “street name” through a nominee (such as a bank, broker or other third party) in an account with Cede & Co., regardless of the number of shares so held, participated in the Forward Split and therefore continued to hold the same number of shares immediately after the Forward Split as they did immediately before the Reverse Split.
 
Based on the information available to the Company as of the date hereof, the Transaction reduced the number of record holders of the Common Stock (as defined by Rule 12g5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to 133. The Company will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to terminate registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, will be suspended.
