Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective October 29, 1999, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, IAC
Acquisition Corporation, purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of West-Tech Communications Corp. (West-Tech). West-Tech provides
communications solutions to businesses in the Denver metropolitan area.
The Company acquired inventory of approximately $64,000, accounts receivable of
approximately $236,000 net of accounts payable of approximately $88,000, and
fixed assets with a net book value of approximately $29,000. The assets acquired
included the name, West-Tech, and the Company intends to continue to use the
assets acquired in providing communications solutions to businesses.
The Company issued 270,000 shares of its common stock, valued at the market
price of $.98 per share on the date of closing; made a cash payment of
approximately $559,000; and issued a note payable of $370,000 with interest at
7% per annum. Interest and principal on the note will be payable quarterly
