On May 2, 2013 we announced the closing of the sale of our waste water monitoring business (Butler National Services, Inc.) to Beadle Enterprises, LLC.  We will receive $270 over five (5) years for the assets.

On June 27, 2013 we announced that we are in the process of implementing an Aerospace segment cost reduction plan to align overall expenses with the current level of revenue in the segment.  The plan includes reductions in staffing levels and reductions of top-level management compensation.
 
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation is entering into friendly discussions with the other member of BHCMC LLC to explore the possible acquisition by Butler National Service Corporation of other member's 20% equity interest in BHCMC LLC.   If and when a definitive agreement is reached, such definitive agreement and a press release concerning the acquisition will be issued to describe the terms of the agreement and the intentions of the members.   We have not set a definitive timetable for our discussions and there can be no assurances that the process will result in any transaction being announced or completed.  At present there is no disagreement between the members of BHCMC LLC.   We do not plan to disclose or comment on developments until further disclosure is deemed appropriate.
