3.Sale of Vehicle Sensors

On July 29, 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our prior 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”).

Pursuant to 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 release 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. As of December 31, 2014, we received approximately $1.1 million in connection with royalty-related earn-out provisions for a total of $14.8 million in cash from the Asset Sale, and we had approximately $165,000 in royalty-related receivables included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

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. For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a gain on sales of discontinued operations of approximately $56,000 and $10,000, respectively, net of tax. For the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a gain on sale of discontinued operation of approximately $151,000 and $40,000, respectively, net of tax, related to the earn-out provisions of the Agreement.
