The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement on October 2, 2009, a First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement on November 30, 2009, a Side Letter to the Asset Purchase Agreement on January 8, 2010, and a second Side Letter to the Asset Purchase Agreement on February 15, 2010 (collectively, the “APA”) to sell Altec Lansing, its AEG segment ("AEG"), which was completed effective December 1, 2009.  AEG was engaged in the design, manufacture, sales and marketing of audio solutions and related technologies.  All of the revenues in the AEG segment were derived from sales of Altec Lansing products.  All operations of AEG have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented.
 
Pursuant to the APA, the Company received approximately $11.1 million upon closing of the transaction. In addition, the Company originally recorded $5.1 million in contingent escrow assets, which consisted primarily of amounts for (1) potential customer short payments on accounts receivable for sales related reserves that were sold to the Purchaser, (2) potential indemnification obligations, and (3) potential adjustments related to the final valuation of net assets sold in comparison to the target net asset value. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company received $2.1 million of the escrow and released $1.4 million of the escrow for potential customer short payments as this was not utilized. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company received the remaining escrow amounts totaling $1.6 million.
