Note 3: Sale of CoaLogix

On August 31, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced sale of its majority owned CoaLogix Inc. subsidiary (“CoaLogix”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase  Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with EnerTech Capital Partners III L.P., certain management employees of the CoaLogix subsidiary (collectively with the Company, the "Sellers"), CoaLogix and CoaLogix Holdings, Inc. (the "Buyer"), pursuant to which the Sellers sold all the outstanding capital stock of CoaLogix to the Buyer for $101 million (subject to certain adjustments) in cash.  The Company owned approximately 65% of CoaLogix on a fully diluted basis and received $61,915 in consideration for its CoaLogix shares, of which $5,961 was deposited in an escrow account to secure possible indemnification claims which the Company expects to be released to it within one year from the Closing Date and $347 was deposited in an escrow account against a possible working capital shortfall which the Company expects to be released to it in the fourth quarter of 2011.

In connection with the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock of CoaLogix, the Company recorded a gain of $46,489. The Company also recorded income taxes of $15,806 based on a Federal income tax rate of 34%. The net gain of $30,683 is reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a “Gain on the sale of discontinued operations”. Concurrently, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $12,000 with respect to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets primarily associated with previous years’ net losses.
