Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 12, 2007, Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Tiger Oil, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Purchaser”), to sell fixed assets, inventory and customer lists constituting a majority of the assets of the Company’s construction division (the “Construction Division”), for approximately $5.3 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments to be made at closing and a holdback of $525,000 to be retained for resolution of certain indemnification matters in the form of a non-negotiable promissory note bearing a term of 120 days and other terms which are commercially reasonable in transactions of this type, size and scope. The Company will retain working capital of $6.7 million, including approximately $2.1 million in notes receivable, as of December 31, 2006. The majority of the Company’s leasehold interests are being retained by the Company with the Purchaser assuming only the Company’s shop location at Southwest 10th Street, Deerfield Beach, Florida and entering into a 90-day sublease of the headquarters of the Construction Division located at 1350 East Newport Center Drive in Deerfield Beach, Florida. In addition, the Asset Purchase Agreement contemplates that the Company will enter into a noncompetition agreement with terms that are customary for transactions of this type, size and scope. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has obtained operational control of the Construction Division.

As a result of this transaction, the Company anticipates it will recognize a loss from this sale in the fourth quarter of 2006 in an amount equal to approximately $3.0 million, prior to any employee severance and other transaction-related expenses. The transaction is scheduled to close in March 2007 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser deposited into escrow $525,000 as an earnest money deposit (the “Deposit”).This amount is subject to forfeiture by the Purchaser to the Company in certain events upon termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement and to return to the Purchaser in certain events upon terminationof the Asset Purchase Agreement . In addition, if the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement are not completed by March 20, 2007 because the Company fails or refuses to perform its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement or because any representation or warranty of the Company is false as a result of the Company’s willful and wanton misconduct resulting in a material adverse change to the financial condition or results of operations of the business of the Construction Division in an amount equal to at least $50,000, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and the Company shall be obligated to also pay to the Purchaser a breakup fee (the “Breakup Fee”) in an amount equal to 5% of the purchase price.

Donald L. Smith, Jr., the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a current director of the Company and Donald L. Smith, III, a former officer of the Company, are principals of the Purchaser. Other than the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Company’s relationship with Donald L. Smith, Jr. and Donald L. Smith, III, there is no material relationship between the Company and the Purchase of which the Company is aware. The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on March 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination and Release Agreement”) with Donald L. Smith, Jr. under the terms of which Mr. Smith agreed to terminate that certain Construction Agreement (the “Construction Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2005, concerning the construction of a residence on a parcel of property which is 50% owned by Mr. Smith and located within the resort complex known as Emerald Bay Resorts on the island of Exuma, and released the Company from any past, present or future obligations under the Construction Agreement. Mr. Smith has agreed to indemnify the Company for all losses incured by the Company in connection with the assertion by a third party to the Construction Agreement


whose assent to the Termination and Release Agreement was not obtained of any claim or demand against the Company to the extent such claim or demand arises directly or indirectly from the Construction Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Termination and Release Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Termination and Release Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
