 holding company, said today it has sold a wholly-owned interconnect subsidiary to its original owner for $3.5 million, concurrently ending a pending dispute between the parties.

Carnegie Chairman E. David Gable said the sale of Harbor City Corporation, d.b.a. ACC See adaptive cruise control.  Telecom of Columbia, was completed earlier this week to former owners Barry and Susan Hunt.

Hunt was president and Mrs. Hunt was an employee of ACC Telecom when it was acquired by Carnegie in May of 1998. Mr. Hunt later served as a member of Carnegie's Board before resigning on March 1.

Gable said that the company "had been unhappy for some time with the results of our marketing agreement with ACC for MAVIS(TM), Carnegie's voice-activated automated attendant system. We believe," said Gable, "that ACC was not the right partner for MAVIS, and both our management and the Hunts were unhappy with the arrangement. The sale of ACC now frees Carnegie to pursue other options, including marketing agreements for MAVIS."

Lowell Farkas, president of Carnegie, said the sale of ACC "provides $700,000 in needed cash, and is in keeping with our announcement last month that one or more of the telecom subsidiaries would be sold." He said the company "will continue restructuring for the remainder of the year and would take a charge to earnings for one-time write downs, including impairment charges.

"Management is working to have the company well positioned when the market rebounds," said Farkas "and is taking all necessary actions to prepare." He said Carnegie will file form 8-K Form 8-K
