NOTE 11 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

St. Louis and Sarasota Operations Common Stock Sales

 

Effective September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Escrow Agreement with Multiband, Inc. (Multiband) traded under the NASDAQ symbol MBND, for the acquisition by Multiband of the common stock of the Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiaries, the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations, for $2,000,000 in cash. The $2,000,000 in proceeds was used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under a previous loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

 

Hartford and Lakewood Operations Asset Sales

 

On July 25, 2012, the Company and the Hartford and Lakewood Operations entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Hartford and Lakewood Operations sold substantially all of their assets to two newly-created subsidiaries of Kavveri Telecom Products Limited (Kavveri) for a purchase price of $5.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and the assumption of their various liabilities. At closing, the Company received $4.9 million in cash, with the remaining $600,000 of the purchase price to be placed into escrow pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company used the proceeds from this sale to repay the full amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement of $4,022,320 as of July 25, 2012. The difference of $877,680 was deposited in its operating cash account.

 

Kavveri agreed to place $350,000 of the purchase price into escrow in the future pending assignment of certain contracts post-closing, with the Company receiving those funds upon successful assignment of the contracts. The remaining $250,000 is to be escrowed in the future for purposes of satisfying certain adjustments to the purchase price based on a final net asset valuation to be completed after closing as well as repurchase obligations of certain delinquent accounts receivable. No later than three days after the final determination of the net asset valuation, the purchasers are required to deposit the $600,000 into escrow.

 

To date, the Company has not reached agreement with Kavveri with regard to resolving the net asset valuation. On January 28, 2013, Kavveri submitted a revised aggregate claim for indemnification by the Company of $1,511,560 with regard to (1) net asset valuation claim owed of $1,160,499, which includes accounts receivable deemed uncollectible of $519,000 related to a project that was completed by the Company’s former Hartford Operations and accepted by the customer on or prior to the Closing Date; and (2) delinquent account receivables to be repurchased of $813,331.

 

On February 27, 2013, the Company notified Kavveri that it disputed these claims. Among other things, the Company disputes the amount of the delinquent receivables, and believes that after consideration of reserves for uncollectible accounts and other offsets previously considered in its calculation of the net asset valuation, the total amount of accounts receivable deemed uncollectible for repurchase to be $36,436. However, the Company contends that Kavveri missed the deadline to notify the Company regarding the repurchase of delinquent receivables pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement regarding timing for notification to the Company, which would eliminate any repurchase payment owed by the Company to Kavveri. The Company also believes that the $519,000 of accounts receivable claimed for indemnification by Kavveri is without merit. Finally, the Company also disputes the net asset valuation claim, and believes Kavveri owes the Company $58,058, following its evaluation of the uncollectible accounts receivable. With regard to the net asset valuation claim, if the parties disagree, and if they are unable to come to an agreement, the matter will be submitted to one or more independent, nationally-recognized accounting firms for final determination.
