3.                                      Sale of Vehicle Sensors

 

On July 29, 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our Vehicle Sensors segment to Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (“Bendix”), a member of Knorr-Bremse Group, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) signed on July 25, 2011 (the “Asset Sale”).

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, upon the closing of the Asset Sale, Bendix paid us $14 million in cash, subject to a $2 million holdback and adjustments based upon the working capital of the Vehicle Sensors segment at closing, and Bendix assumed certain specified obligations and liabilities of the Vehicle Sensors segment. In October 2012, we received approximately $1.7 million in connection with the resolution of the holdback provision. Furthermore, we are entitled to additional consideration in the form of the following performance and royalty-related earn-outs: Bendix is obligated to pay us an amount in cash equal to (i) 85% of revenue

associated with royalties received under our license and distribution agreements with Audiovox Electronics Corporation and Valeo Schalter and Sensoren GmbH through December 31, 2017 and (ii) 30% of the amount, if any, by which the amount of revenue generated from the sale of our lane departure warning systems exceeds Bendix’s projection for such revenue for the two years following the closing, each subject to certain reductions and limitations set forth in the Agreement. Since July 2011, on a cumulative basis, we have earned approximately $1.0 million in connection with royalty-related earn-outs provisions for a total of $14.7 million in cash from the Asset Sale.

 

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we determined that the Vehicle Sensors segment, which constituted one of our operating segments, qualified as a discontinued operation. The applicable financial results of the Vehicle Sensors segment have been reported as a discontinued operation in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded a gain on sale of discontinued operation in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations of approximately $30,000 and $87,000, net of tax, respectively, related to the earn-out provisions of the Agreement.
