Item 2. Acquisition Or Disposition Of Assets.
Effective May 1, 2003, Reconditioned Systems, Inc., an Arizona corporation
("RSI") completed its acquisition of Beck Office Systems, Inc., a New Mexico
corporation ("Beck"), by means of a merger of Beck with and into RSI Acquisition
Sub, Inc., a New Mexico corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of RSI formed in
order to effect the acquisition. The merger was accomplished pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 24, 2003 and entered into by the
respective corporations and certain others and a copy of which was merger filed
as an attachment to the articles of merger with the New Mexico State Corporation
Commission on April 29, 2003.
Beck specializes in the remanufacturing of modular office furniture originally
manufactured by Haworth, Inc. In addition, Beck retails numerous new office
furniture lines. Beck was founded by Daniel and Marjorie Beck in 1983 and now
employs approximately 60 employees. Beck is headquartered in Albuquerque, New
Mexico and also has a sales office in Tucson, Arizona. Included within the
assets acquired from Beck are office, showroom, plant and equipment, located in
Albuquerque and Tucson. RSI intends to continue to utilize the assets of Beck in
the same manner that they were utilized prior to the merger.
In consideration for the merger which is intended to qualify as a tax free
reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, RSI paid $200,000
in cash and 125,000 shares of restricted RSI common stock, 14,000 shares of
which shall revert to RSI in the event the post-closing audit of Beck does not
confirm a total stockholders' equity of at least $500,000. The cash portion of
the merger consideration was funded through borrowings from Scott W. Ryan, the
registrant's Chairman of the Board under a note payable dated April 25, 2003.
The issuance of RSI common stock was made without general solicitation or
advertising pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
