On December 22, 2015, the Company sold the assets of its Aviel Electronics division at a gain of approximately $35,000. The terms of the sale included $150,000 cash due upon closing and a $250,000 secured promissory note ($83,000 recorded in other current assets and $118,000 in other assets as of July 31, 2016) with principal and interest (at 5%) payable over a three-year period. Aviel Electronics’ sales and loss from continuing operations before provision for income taxes of $86,000 and $40,000, respectively, were included in the Company’s RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment from November 1, 2015 through the date of sale on December 22, 2015. Aviel Electronics’ sales and income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes were $225,000 and $36,000, respectively, for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and $770,000 and $142,000, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2015.
