With the disposal of our interest in Blonder Tongue Telephone and the planned divestiture of BDR Broadband, our Texas-based private cable system, we expect an annual improvement to our net income of approximately $600,000. In addition, the anticipated sale of selected Company patent rights should result in net proceeds Net Proceeds
