DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on December 4, 2015, the Company and WESSCO entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Compactor Rentals pursuant to which the Company sold its “Waste Services Segment,” consisting of substantially all of the assets used in (i) the Company’s commercial, retail and industrial waste and recycling management services business which the Company operated under the name “Computerized Waste Systems” or “CWS,” and (ii) the Company’s equipment sales, rental and maintenance business for the commercial and industrial waste and recycling industry which the Company operated under the name “Waste Equipment Sales and Service Company."

The Company received cash consideration at closing of $7.5 million, less $150.0 thousand which was retained by Compactor Rentals in connection with working capital adjustments. Compactor Rentals assumed certain liabilities relating to the Waste Services Segment, including but not limited to, current liabilities, warranty liabilities, and post-closing liabilities incurred in connection with transferred contracts. The transaction expenses related to the sale were $350.0 thousand and a gain of $6,031.0 thousand was recorded.

The sale included substantially all of the assets of the Waste Services Segment including, but not limited to, current assets, accounts receivable, tangible personal property, certain leases, inventory, intellectual property, rights under transferred contracts, rights of action and all associated goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the transferred assets. The Company's policy was to not allocate interest to discontinued operations.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a restrictive covenant under which the Company will be prohibited from competing with the Waste Services Segment for five years following the closing.
