ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On December 21, 2007, NMS Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NMS”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Verso Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Verso”), dated December 20, 2007, to sell NMS’s Network Infrastructure (“NI”) division to Verso (the “Transaction”).  The closing of the Transaction occurred on December 21, 2007 (the “Closing Date”).  Under the terms of the Agreement,Verso acquired the NI division and certain assets and liabilities of the NI division for consideration of $850,000 of cash and $2,500,000 of Verso common stock.  Based on the terms of the Agreement, each such share of Verso common stock was valued at $0.4652, which is the volume weighted arithmetic average of the daily closing price per share of the Verso common stock for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending (and including) the trading day that occurred one trading day prior to (and not including) the date of the Agreement.  As a result, the value of each share of Verso common stock resulted in Verso issuing to NMS 5,374,033 shares of Verso common stock on the Closing Date.  The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of NMS and Verso.

 

The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights under the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.9 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

On December 24, 2007, NMS issued a press release announcing the closing of the Transaction. This press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

ITEM 2.01 – COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

Sale of the NI Division

On December 21, 2007, NMS disposed of certain assets and liabilities related to its NI Division.  The information set forth in Item 1.01 above with respect to the Transaction is incorporated herein in its entirety.

 

The Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements giving effect to the completion of the Transaction are attached as Exhibit 99.1.

 

ITEM 9.01 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

 

(b)     Pro Forma Financial Information

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

The first paragraph of Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of NMS reflects the disposition of NI as if it had occurred on September 30, 2007. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, reflect the disposition of the NI business as if the sale had occurred on January 1, 2004. The pro forma adjustments are based on the operations of NI during the periods presented and the impact from the sale of the NI business and other transactions associated with the disposition. These adjustments have been made to illustrate the anticipated financial effect of the sale of the NI business and are based on presently available information. Management believes that the assumptions used to derive the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available. Consequently, the pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been reported had the transactions actually occurred on the dates specified.

 

The final accounting for the disposition of the NI business is still under review by management and will be finalized prior to the filing of NMS’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007. Effective in the fourth quarter of 2007, NMS will classify the assets and liabilities of NI as discontinued operations and report the results of operations for NI as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet related to the sale of the NI business is based on the net book value of net assets sold as of September 30, 2007 pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Accordingly, NMS’s actual recording of the disposition, including the final sale price, gains or losses, or income taxes thereon, may differ from the pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information does not purport to indicate the future financial position or future results of NMS’s operations. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and footnotes of NMS included in Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007.

 

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements are included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference:
