Advanced Switching Communications to Liquidate
February 5, 2002
By Roy Mark
Advanced Switching Communications, Inc. (Quote) plans to liquidate, selling its all of its assets, discharging its liabilities and distributing the net proceeds to its stockholders. The Vienna, Va.-based ASC develops network access solutions for communications companies.
The company intends to hold a special meeting of stockholders as soon as practicable to approve the plan of liquidation and dissolution. A proxy statement describing the plan will be mailed to stockholders prior to the meeting.
ASC said in a terse, official statement that it reached the decision to dissolve after considering "a number of factors, including the company's recent financial performance, prevailing economic and industry conditions and unsuccessful efforts to sell or merge the company."
Pending final stockholder action, ASC has begun making preparations for the wind down of its operations, including workforce reductions, securing continuing support for its existing customers, seeking purchasers for the sale of its intellectual property and other tangible and intangible assets, considering pursuit of potential third-party claims and providing for its outstanding and potential liabilities.
The company's high-speed network switches consolidate data, video, and voice transmissions over various protocols including frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode, and Ethernet. ASC's primary customers include Broadband Office, Qwest Communications, Broadview Networks and Mpower Communications. Asghar Mostafa, the company's chief executive officer, and Baker Communications Fund each own approximately 25 percent of the company.
