DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate major line of business that had been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, as part of the Company’s review of strategic alternatives, the Company made approved efforts to sell its switchgear business. On May 2, 2018, Pioneer Custom Electric Products Corp. (“PCEP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with CleanSpark, Inc. (“CleanSpark”), pursuant to which PCEP will sell certain assets (the “Asset Sale”) comprising the PCEP business to CleanSpark (the “Purchased Assets”). No debt or significant liabilities are being assumed by CleanSpark in the Asset Sale.

As consideration for the Purchased Assets, CleanSpark has agreed to pay total consideration comprised of the following: (a) an 18-month promissory note at 9% interest, in principal amount equal to the net carrying value of the business at closing; (b) a three-year equipment lease to be entered into at closing of the Asset Sale, providing for rent payments in the amount of $7,500 per month, which also includes two renewal terms of one-year each at CleanSpark’s option and a CleanSpark purchase option of $1,000,000; (c) 7,000,000 shares of CleanSpark common stock, based on an agreed upon value of $0.80 per share, for a total agreed upon value of $5,600,000; (d) a five year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of CleanSpark common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share; and (e) a five year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of CleanSpark common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Operating results for the switchgear business, which have been previously included in the T&D Solutions Segment, have now been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
