ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On December 14, 1998, the Registrant sold certain of its assets constituting its "Pacific Home Furnishings" division to PHF Hawaii, Incorporated, a Hawaii corporation (the "Purchaser") for an aggregate purchase price of $2,538,800 pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of December 2, 1998 by and between Registrant and Purchaser. The Registrant's Pacific Home Furnishings division is involved principally in the sale of floor coverings and textile products. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference. In connection with the transaction, $1,500,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash, and $1,038,800 of the purchase price was paid by the delivery of a promissory note (the "Note"). The Note bears interest at 6% per annum and is secured by a pledge of the assets of the Purchaser, subordinate to the interests of Purchaser's lender. Payment of the Note was personally guaranteed by Thomas Lee and Gary Orimoto, the principal shareholders of the Purchaser. Prior to this transaction, such guarantors were employed by the Registrant as managers of Registrant's Pacific Home Furnishings division. The purchase price paid was the result of arms-length bargaining between the Registrant and Purchaser, and, other than as set forth above, there was no material relationship between the Purchaser and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, directors or officers, or any associate of such director or officer.
