Bankruptcy or Receivership. On August 14, 2001, VelocityHSI, Inc. (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition for protection under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, Oakland Division. The case will promptly be assigned to a judge and a trustee will be appointed. Prior to the filing, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2001 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), with Reallinx, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Reallinx") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell, and Reallinx has agreed to buy, substantially all of the Company's assets for a purchase price of $350,000, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions (including entering into an operating agreement with BRE Properties, Inc. with respect to properties at which the Company conducts its current business). Pending Bankruptcy Court approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and satisfaction of other closing conditions, Reallinx will provide certain interim operating services to the Company.
