ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On May 13, 2004, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Propster, Inc., completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
DevElements, Inc. The assets acquired consisted of:
o software and related documentation consisting of the Propster suite
of software products and the DEX suite of software products, objects
and source codes controlled by DevElements;
o all products in source code and object code;
o existing license agreements between DevElements and its customers
relating to products acquired;
o generic code pertaining to products and derivative works;
o third party software licenses;
o customer contracts;
o cash, hardware, furniture, equipment, supplies, contractual
benefits, contract rights and other assets not specifically
excluded.
Assets excluded from sale consisted of certain rights reserved by
DevElements to license Propster software to its current landlord and Bernstein
Management. The Company assumed liabilities scheduled as part of the agreement,
which were current or future liabilities associated with the assets acquired and
certain other liabilities for professional services, lessor obligations and
other debt obligations of DevElements. Simultaneously with the acquisition, the
Company, acting through its Propster subsidiary, acquired 19% of the capital
stock interest of DevElements, with the balance retained by current management
and stockholders of DevElements.
In consideration for the purchase of the assets, the Company paid to
DevElements $100,000 and agreed to the assumption of liabilities up to an
aggregate of $150,000. In exchange for the 19% interest in DevElements, the
Company issued to the shareholders of DevElements 1,500,000 shares of its common
stock and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock exercisable at a
price of $0.34 per share and expiring May 13, 2009. In addition, IceWEB issued
to the shareholders options to purchase 500,000 shares, based on DevElements
satisfying certain performance criteria, exercisable at 85% of the closing price
for IceWeb Common Stock on the date of grant of said additional options and
expiring five years from the date of grant. The performance criteria will be
satisfied assuming the Company and DevElements collectively receive contracts,
task orders and other work assignments involving billing of at least $840,000
during the six-month period ending November 13, 2004. The Company has agreed to
register the common shares on a demand basis provided that the underlying shares
under the option to purchase 1,500,000 shares are exercised and subject to
certain other limited restrictions.
