FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VillageEDOCS Announces Sale Of Its Resolutions Business
Unit
SANTA ANA, CA, Dec. 10, 2007—VillageEDOCS, Inc. (OTCBB:VEDO), a Software
as a Service company providing
proprietary on-demand outsource business solutions, today announced that it
has completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary Phoenix Forms, Inc. (dba “Resolutions”)
to DocPath Corp. for $970,000 in cash,
plus the return of 10 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per
share. These warrants were originally issued as
consideration in the acquisition of Resolutions by VillageEDOCS in April 2005,
in addition to $432,000 in cash and
promissory notes in the aggregate of $200,000.
“In November, we received an unsolicited offer for the sale of Resolutions
and, after careful consideration, felt it was in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with the
transaction, which we view as being very
positive from a number of perspectives,” stated Mason Conner, Chief Executive
Officer of VillageEDOCS, Inc.
“We are quite pleased with the return on our initial investment and the
resulting reduction in our fully diluted share count
with the return of the 10 million warrants,” Mr. Conner said. “The
cash received from this transaction will enable the
Company to significantly reduce its debt with the immediate satisfaction of
a required payment of an $840,000 note due
on December 12, 2007 under an existing line of credit with a financial institution
that is secured by the assets of our GSI
subsidiary.”
“In addition, our previously announced pending acquisition of Questys,
Inc., which we expect to close by Dec 31, subject
to normal closing conditions, will substantially replace all of the functionality
and services which Resolutions had
provided. The acquisition of Questys, with trailing twelve month sales of approximately
$3.6 million and net income in
the range of $250,000 to $300,000, will more than make up for the loss of revenue
and profit from the Resolutions business unit,” Mr. Conner added.
