5A. ACQUISITION OF TRANSTECH (USD $)

The Company closed the acquisition of TransTech of Aurora, Oregon on June 8, 2010. On this date, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase, Security and Stock Pledge Agreements which are included as Exhibits to the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2010.

 

TransTech, founded in 1994, is a distributor of access control and authentication systems serving the security and law enforcement markets.   With recorded revenues of $7.6 million in 2012, TransTech has a respected national reputation for outstanding product knowledge, sales and service excellence.

 

This acquisition is expected to accelerate market entry and penetration through the acquisition of well-operated and positioned distributors of security and authentication systems like TransTech, thus creating a natural distribution channel for products featuring the company’s proprietary SPM technology. 

 

The Company acquired its 100% interest in TransTech by issuing a Promissory Note (“Note”) to James Gingo, the President of TransTech, in the amount of $2,300,000, plus interest at the rate of three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum from the date of the Note. The Note is secured by a security interest in the stock and assets of TransTech, and is payable over a period of three (3) years.

 

On June 8, 2010, the Company issued a total of 3,800,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company to James Gingo, Jeff Kruse and Steve Waddle, executives of TransTech, and Paul Bonderson, a TransTech investor.  The parties valued the shares in this transaction at $76,000 or $0.02 per share, the closing bid price during negotiations.
