ACQUISITION OF TRANSTECH SYSTEMS, INC.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, is based in Aurora, Oregon, and was founded in 1994. TransTech provides value-added security and authentication solutions to corporate and government security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.   With recorded revenues of $7.6 million in 2012, TransTech has a respected national reputation for outstanding product knowledge, sales and service excellence.

 

The Company closed the acquisition of TransTech on June 8, 2010. The Company acquired its 100% interest in TransTech by issuing a Promissory 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 per annum from the date of the Note. The Note was secured by a security interest in the stock and assets of TransTech, and was payable over a period of three years. The final balance of $1,000,000 on the Note and accrued interest of $30,397 were paid to Mr. Gingo on June 12, 2013, to complete the purchase price for the TransTech stock.

 

On June 8, 2010 in connection with the acquisition of TransTech, 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.

 

This acquisition was entered into to accelerate market entry and penetration through well-operated and positioned dealers of security and authentication systems, thus creating a natural distribution channel for products featuring the Company’s proprietary ChromaID technology.
