Sale of Subsidiaries

In February 2019, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Seismic Asia Pacific Pty Ltd. for total contractual proceeds of approximately $660,000 U.S. dollars of which the Company received approximately $240,000 in cash at closing and an unsecured, non-interest bearing two-year note receivable in the amount of $420,000. The agreement also included a working capital adjustment of approximately $114,000 payable to the Company. We received payment of the working capital adjustment in August of 2019. The note receivable was recorded as other non-current assets as of January 31, 2020.

In August 2018, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned Russian subsidiary, MSE, to an unrelated third party (the “Buyer”) for total contractual proceeds of approximately $1.2 million U.S. dollars. Our agreement with the Buyer stipulated a series of eight (8) payments totaling the contractual proceeds, plus interest accruing at a rate of 9% per annum, with the final payment to be received on or before August 31, 2019. Through January 31, 2020, the Buyer has made payments totaling approximately $705,000. Although we did not receive all the stipulated payments before August 31, 2019, we are working with the Buyer and expect the balance of contractual proceeds, together with applicable interest, to be paid in full. The amounts due from Buyer were recorded in accounts receivable at January 31, 2020. As a result of the sale of MSE, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $4.9 million, including recognition of approximately $5.4 million of cumulative translation losses which had been historically recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a component of equity.
