Other Events. |
On August 3, 2006, Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the Registrant) issued a press release announcing that its Maryland-based subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation, entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (Insite), a logistics application software company. Consummation of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Comtech Mobile Datacom will purchase the business of Insite for $2.7 million, plus certain earn-out payments based on the achievement of future sales targets. Insites sales were less than $2.0 million in calendar 2005 and the impact of this acquisition on the Registrants fiscal 2007 operating results is expected to be near break-even.
In addition, the Registrant announced that the operations of Comtech Tolt Technologies, Inc. (Tolt) are being consolidated into Comtech Mobile Datacom. As part of this consolidation, the Registrant will further focus its efforts on commercial satellite-based mobile data applications and significantly de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low-margin Tolt legacy hardware products. Stand-alone sales of these low margin products during fiscal 2006 are expected to approximate $15 million and such sales in fiscal 2007 are expected to be nominal.
Attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of such press release.
