Re:
Acquisition
This
non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) sets forth the agreement and
understanding as to the terms of the acquisition of Max Engineering LLC, a
Texas
corporation, together with any owned operations (“MAX”), by WPCS International
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“WPCS”):
General
Conditions:
WPCS
will
acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MAX. In
consideration for such sale, WPCS will deliver, at the closing of this
transaction (the “Closing Date”), $800,000 to the shareholders of MAX (the
“Purchase Price”) as such amount may be adjusted as set forth herein, of which
$600,000 will be in U.S. dollars (“Cash”) and $200,000 in WPCS common stock (the
“Closing Payment”). In addition, WPCS will deliver $350,000 in Cash and/or WPCS
common stock, at the discretion of WPCS, to the shareholders of MAX in the
event
MAX achieves an EBIT of $275,000 for the first twelve month period after the
Closing Date and WPCS will deliver $375,000 in Cash and/or WPCS common stock,
at
the discretion of WPCS, to the shareholders of MAX in the event MAX achieves
an
EBIT of $375,000 for the second successive twelve month period after the Closing
Date (the “Additional Purchase Price”). The Additional Purchase Price will be
capped and prorated against achievement on a one to one basis and each year
will
stand alone. WPCS will review and validate the results and will pay the
Additional Purchase Price amount within ninety days after each twelve month
ending period. Anytime WPCS common stock is used for payment for this
transaction, the stock will have demand registration rights and be valued at
the
NASDAQ closing price for WPCS on the day prior to issuance.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the
variation of a $288,000 net tangible asset value for MAX as of the Closing
Date.
Net Tangible Asset Value (NTAV) is defined as total assets minus total
liabilities minus intangible assets. Any shortfall below $288,000 in NTAV shall
proportionately reduce the Closing Payment. Any excess above $288,000 in NTAV
shall be paid to the MAX shareholders in Cash.
An
amount
equal to $120,000 in Cash shall be held in escrow pending determination of
the
net tangible asset value for MAX as of the Closing Date, which shall be
calculated by WPCS within 90 days of the Closing Date and distributed with
adjustments, if any, within five days after the date of such
determination.

Conditions:
