2.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

On October 28, 2010, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Next Step Products, LLC (the "Buyer"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold substantially all of the assets (the "Asset Sale") of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses. The results of operations of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer paid $1.0 million in cash in connection with closing the Asset Sale and agreed to pay approximately $1.3 million over the seven month period ending May 28, 2011. Of the total purchase price of approximately $2.3 million, approximately $1.3 million accounted for the purchase of inventory.

Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and a secured promissory note, approximately $1.3 million was to be paid to the Company over the seven month period ending May 28, 2011 as the Buyer sold the purchased inventory, with 50% of the agreed upon value of the inventory being paid no later than February 28, 2011 and the balance being paid no later than May 28, 2011. As of March 4, 2011, the $1.3 million balance of the purchase price was paid in full. In addition, the Buyer assumed certain liabilities related to the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses.

 

The former President of the Company's pool and spa lighting division, is an officer and member of the Buyer. The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the amount of the consideration to be paid with respect to the Asset Sale were negotiated by the Company and the Buyer on an arms-length basis.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company's Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses including (i) certain inventory, (ii) certain accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, (iii) certain computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and (iv) ownership of or the right to use certain trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property used or held for use in, or otherwise related to, the conduct of the Company's Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses. The Buyer has assumed all of the warranty obligations of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, whether arising before or after closing, and other specified liabilities of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, including certain accounts payable.

The Company has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. Both the Company and the Buyer have agreed to indemnify the other party against certain losses, subject to certain limitations. In addition, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to a non-competition covenant for a period of two years after closing, except with respect to the Company's Array business or the business of Lumificient Corporation (as such businesses were being conducted prior to the closing and as such businesses develop after closing). Simultaneously with the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company and the Buyer also entered into a sublease for a portion of the space leased by the Company at its Orlando, Florida facility for a period of no less than six months and no greater than nine months. During 2011, the sublease agreement was extended through March 2012.
