Note 10. LIABILITY RELATED TO THE SALE OF FUTURE PROCEEDS FROM DISPOSITION OF SUBSIDIARY

In connection with the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”) to Meyer Tool, Inc., (“Meyer”) in 2017, Meyer was obligated to pay the Company within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing April 1, 2017, an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the net sales of AMK for that quarter until the aggregate payments made to the Company (the “Meyer Agreement”) equals $1,500,000 (the “Maximum Amount”).

In order to increase liquidity, on January 15, 2019, the Company entered into a “Purchase Agreement” with 15 accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), including Michael and Robert Taglich, pursuant to which the Company assigned to the Purchasers all of its rights, title and interest to the remaining $1,137,000 of the $1,500,000 in payments due from Meyer for the sale of AMK (the “Remaining Amount”) for an immediate payment of $800,000, including $100,000 from each of Michael and Robert Taglich, and $75,000 for the benefit of the children of Michael Taglich. The timing of the payments is based upon the net sales of AMK.

The Company recognized $94,000 and $326,000 of non-cash income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflected in “other income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded $35,000 and $98,000 of related non-cash interest expense related to the Purchase Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
