On April 4, 2008, Desca Holding, LLC, our majority-owned subsidiary (“Desca”), entered into a binding summary of proposed terms (the “Term Sheet”) relating to Desca’s acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Transistemas S.A.

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, Desca will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Transistemas for an aggregate purchase price of $7,600,000 of which $1,000,000 was deposited with the sellers upon the execution of the Term Sheet. A portion of the purchase price ($1,000,000) will be held in escrow for a period of one year following the closing in order to satisfy certain of the indemnification obligations of the sellers.

The closing of the acquisition of Transistemas is subject to, among other things (i) negotiation of definitive purchase documentation containing customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other terms and conditions, (ii) completion of our due diligence of Transistemas and its subsidiaries, including a legal and financial review, (iii) receipt of satisfactory evidence of Transistemas’ compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, (iv) the absence of any materially adverse changes to the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), operating results, operations or business prospects of Transistemas and its subsidiaries, (v) the satisfaction by Transistemas of certain financial thresholds including minimum revenues, net asset value and EBITDA for the period ending March 31, 2008, provided that the parties have agreed to waive this requirement if financial statements for such period are not delivered by the closing date, (vi) the delivery by Transistemas of financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2008, which are compliant with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, provided that the parties have agreed to waive this requirement if such statements are not delivered by the closing date, (vii) the absence of any contingencies or other liabilities in excess of an agreed amount and not disclosed in Transistemas’ financial statements (whether audited or unaudited) for the period ending March 31, 2008, (viii) evidence that certain key customer relationships of Transistemas have been maintained, and (ix) obtaining various governmental and third party consents to the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet.
