Note

– Sale of Business Component
 
On
January 31, 2017,
we completed the sale of certain identified assets and liabilities associated with a specific customer contract from our project management business for
$350,000
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) dated
December 12, 2016
with Tech Site Services, LLC, a privately held Maryland company. The sale price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments relating to working capital and obtaining the consent of the customer as a condition of closing. Tech Site Services, LLC also must pay us an earn-out payment equal to
10%
of all revenue generated under the customer contract in excess of
$2.5
million in each
12
-month period during the
two
-year period after the closing of this transaction.
 
The transaction closed on
January 31, 2017.
The APA contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this type. Many of the representations made by us are subject to, and qualified by materiality or similar concepts. Both parties have agreed to indemnify the other party for certain losses arising from the breach of the APA and for certain other liabilities, subject to specified limitations. In connection with the transaction both parties will provide transition services with respect to the business activities that were sold.
 
The customer contract and intellectual property sold had a net book value of
$0.
As a result of the sale, Tech Site Services LLC assumed liabilities of
$7,000,
resulting in
$343,000
of cash proceeds that was paid to us upon closing. Additionally, we incurred approximately
$29,000
in legal, escrow and other expenses that would
not
have been incurred otherwise. As a result, we recorded a net gain of approximately
$321,000
in our consolidated statement of operations for the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2017.
 
On
July 1, 2016,
we adopted ASU
2014
-

regarding discontinued operations. As a result, we evaluated the sale of a portion of our project maintenance business component in light of this new standard. We concluded that the sale of a portion of our project management business component in
January 2017
was
not
a “material shift” (as defined in ASU
2014
-
08
) for us and therefore, is
not
considered a discontinued operation. In accordance with ASU
