Note

– Sale of Business Component
 
On
December 28, 2018,
we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities used in our Virginia-based, critical data center power and cooling business, operated by our wholly-owned subsidiary Innovative Power Systems, Inc. The business was sold to Innovative Power, LLC (the “Buyer”) for total cash consideration of
$2.5
million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments relating to working capital and certain customer contracts of the business.
 
The managing member of Innovative Power, LLC is Peter H. Woodward, Chairman of our Board of Directors. Mr. Woodward is also the General Partner of MHW Partners, LP and the managing member of MHW SPV II, LLC, entities that hold
$1.595
million of promissory notes payable by TSS described above. The purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiations between us and Mr. Woodward. The transaction was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors other than Mr. Woodward.
 
The transaction closed on
December 28, 2018.
The purchase agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this type. Many of the representations made by us are subject to, and qualified by, materiality or similar concepts. Both parties have agreed to indemnify the other party for certain losses arising from the breach of the purchase agreement and for certain other liabilities, subject to specified limitations. In connection with the transaction both parties will provide transition services with respect to the business activities that were sold.
 
The customer contracts and intellectual property sold had a net book value of
$1,176,000.
As a result of the sale, the Buyer assumed assets of
$3,000,
and
$175,000
was placed in an escrow account, resulting in
$2,325,000
of cash proceeds that was paid to us upon closing. Additionally, we incurred approximately
$184,000
in legal, escrow and other expenses that would
not
have been incurred otherwise. After writing off the carrying value of intangibles associated with the business sold, we recorded a net gain of approximately
$1,140,000
in our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended
December 31, 2018.
 
On
July 1, 2016
we adopted ASU
2014
-

regarding discontinued operations. As a result, we evaluated the sale of a portion of our facilities maintenance business component in light of this new standard. We concluded that this transaction was
not
a “material shift” (as defined in ASU
2014
-
08
) for us and therefore, were
not
considered a discontinued operation. In accordance with ASU
