NOTE 17 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Hartford and Lakewood Operations Asset Sales
 
On July 25, 2012, the Company and the Hartford and Lakewood Operations entered into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Hartford and Lakewood Operations sold substantially all of their assets to two newly-created subsidiaries of Kavveri Telecom Products Limited (Kavveri) for a purchase price of $5.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and the assumption of their various liabilities. At closing, the Company received $4.9 million in cash, with the remaining purchase price to be settled upon (1) completing the assignment of certain contracts post-closing, which was concluded, and (2) satisfying certain adjustments to the purchase price based on a final net asset valuation to be completed after closing as well as repurchase obligations of certain delinquent accounts receivables. The Company used the proceeds from this sale to repay the full amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement of $4,022,320 as of July 25, 2012. The difference of $877,680 was deposited in our operating cash account.
 
To date, the Company has not reached agreement with Kavveri with regard to a resolution for settling the net asset valuation. The Company is currently in discussions with Kavveri for the settlement of the final adjustments to the purchase price, and has reserved a total of $450,000 for possible future settlement, which includes approximately $104,000 recorded for the year ended April 30, 2014. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in settling with Kavveri the amounts claimed by them.
 
Australia Operations
 
On September 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with Turquino Equity LLC, a limited liability company (Turquino), whose managing member is Andrew Hidalgo, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 100% of the shares of Pride for $1,400,000 (Purchase Price). At the Closing Date, the Company will settle the Purchase Price with Turquino by applying the net after tax severance balance due Mr. Hidalgo under his separation agreement as further described in Note 19 “Executive Management Changes”, as partial payment towards the Purchase Price, and Turquino will pay cash for the difference between the Purchase Price and the net severance balance due. The Agreement contains a number of conditions to closing, including but not limited to the following: (i) each of the Company and Turquino shall have performed and complied with all terms of the Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) no action or proceeding by or before any governmental authority shall have been instituted or threatened (and not subsequently dismissed, settled or otherwise terminated) which might restrain, prohibit or invalidate any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, other than an action or proceeding instituted or threatened by a party or any of its affiliates; (iii) the representations and warranties contained in made by each of the Company and Turquino to each other shall be true and correct in all material respects on the closing date as though made on and as of the closing date; (iv) the Company obtaining a fairness opinion that the Purchase Price is fair; and (v) the Company has obtained shareholder approval.. On July 15, 2014, the Company obtained stockholder approval of the transaction. In order to close, the Company needs to obtain the release of liens by its secured note holders of the stock of Pride. The Company anticipates that the transaction will be closed on or about July 31, 2014.   
 
Seattle Operations
 
On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement ) by and among the Company, and EC Company, as purchaser. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of the Seattle Operations to EC Company for approximately $2.7 million in an all cash transaction. The final closing price is subject to adjustment based on the value of the assets on the closing date.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement was amended to provide that in the event that the acquisition is not consummated by July 31, 2014, through no fault of EC Company, the purchase price will be reduced by $100,000. The consummation of the sale is subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, the NASDAQ Capital Market and the release of liens by our secured note holders of the assets of the Seattle Operations.
