Sale of Aviel Electronics Division [Abstract]

Note 3 - Sale of Aviel Electronics division

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 paid at the closing and the delivery of a $250,000 secured promissory note ($83,000 of which is recorded in other current assets and $42,000 in other assets as of July 31, 2017) with principal and interest (at 5%) payable over a three-year period. Aviel Electronics’ sales and loss from continuing operations before benefit for income taxes of $86,000 and $40,000, respectively, were included in the Company’s RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment for the nine months ended July 31, 2016.

The sale of the Aviel Electronics division does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, historical results and the sale of Aviel Electronics are reported in income (loss) from continuing operations.
