10.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In response to the changes in the telecommunications market and deterioration in the Company’s ability to effectively compete, the Company made the decision to exit the competitive local exchange carrier or CLEC business.  On October 27, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted a plan to exit the CLEC business as soon as possible through the sale of its wholly owned CLEC subsidiary and/or substantially all of its CLEC subsidiary’s operating assets.  The Company was in negotiations with a potential buyer at December 31, 2017, which buyer subsequently purchased substantially all of its CLEC subsidiary’s operating assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement which was executed and closed on February 1, 2018 (the “Sale”).

 

The Company determined that the Sale represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results since it represented a complete exit from the CLEC business and, therefore, classified its CLEC subsidiary as held for sale at December 31, 2017.

 

During February, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $233,277 on the Sale based on total consideration of $264,872 less total basis in the assets sold and transactions costs of $31,595.  The assets sold consisted primarily of customers and associated customer premise equipment.
