Discontinued Operations

4. Discontinued Operations   

 

Due to ongoing losses, the Company decided to exit its Media business.  This strategic shift is intended to allow the Company to focus on its core Enterprise digital signage business and is expected to improve the Company’s overall margins and profitability. The Company exited these operations on July 1, 2015 and will not have any involvement with the operations post disposal. Therefore, under applicable accounting standards, the Company has classified its Media operations as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes in all periods presented except where specifically identified otherwise.  

 

On March 19, 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the Media business to an unaffiliated third party. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its Media business to Global Eagle Entertainment (“GEE”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company sold $2,334 of customer receivables, fixed assets, and prepaid assets offset by $3,482 of assumed and transferred liabilities such as accounts payable, accrued revenue share and agency fees, and accrued liabilities of Media in exchange for cash.  In addition, the transaction includes certain amounts paid into escrow in full support of future potential obligations and an earn-out.  The transaction resulted in an initial pre-tax gain of $2,340. As part of the transaction agreement, GEE assumed all existing partner revenue sharing agreements and their related minimum revenue sharing requirements and certain vendor contracts held by Media. In addition, $854 of certain asset and lease impairment charges, severance expenses, and transaction costs were incurred as part of the transaction and are reflected in the net loss from discontinued operations. Also, some employees of Media were transferred to GEE as part of the transaction agreement. The terms of the escrow requires certain levels of performance related to a revenue sharing agreement and its related minimum revenue share requirements.  In order for the Company to receive the earn-out payment, the buyer must successfully negotiate certain terms with a customer and the Media business must meet certain performance requirements over the 12 month period following the closing date.
