During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company made its final payment of $0.1 million and $0.1 million on seller notes associated with the acquisition of Innovative Power Systems, Inc. (“Innovative”) and SMLB, Ltd. (“SMLB”), respectively. The Company paid $0.1 million in settlement of the unsecured promissory notes held by the sellers of SMLB that previously were not paid on schedule at December 31, 2010.  As part of the settlement, the Company received a full release that no other amounts were due under any of the provisions of the purchase agreement.   The settlement resulted in extinguishment of principal and accrued interest totaling $0.05 million, which was recorded in other income.

On February 28, 2010, the COO entered into an agreement with the Company to convert $1.3 million of the outstanding note balance into equity at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, resulting in the aggregate issuance of 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The amount of the excess of the conversion price of $2.00 over the market price at $0.56 on the date of conversion totaling $0.9 million has been recorded as additional paid-in capital.   The shares will be subject to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the COO. The terms on the remaining principal balance of $2.8 million were amended reducing the interest rate under the note from 6% to 4%, providing for the payment of certain amounts of accrued interest over time, providing for interest-only payments under the note until April 1, 2012, providing for eight principal payments in the amount of $125,000 each beginning on April 1, 2012, and providing for a final payment of all remaining amounts of principal and interest due under the note on April 1, 2014.  The note amendment also provides for the acceleration of all amounts due under the note upon a change of control of the Company or the death of the COO.
