ECONOMIC WOES STALLED ACQUISITION; SKY440 TO CONTINUE PURSUIT OF ADDITIONAL PLANNED ACQUISITIONS IN COMPUTER COMPONENT SECTOR ORANGE, Calif., July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sky440 (Pink Sheets: SKYF) announced today it has ended its bid for Sky Electronics of Lake Forest, California, following a lengthy due diligence process. Sky440 has formally notified Sky Electronics of their plans to abandon any further negotiations at this time. "During our due-diligence process, we came to the conclusion that the company did not meet our required financial metrics," stated Sky440 CEO John Harris. "It is our responsibility as the management team for Sky440 to insure that any acquisitions entertained will bring additional value to the company and its shareholders. We will continue to search for a company that ensures we do fulfill that goal." Sky440 had hoped to complete the acquisition in April, but concerns from both parties about the eroding economy and the effect it was having on Sky Electronics precipitated several delays. The parties had hoped to resume negotiations in July and had been working on various ways to find an acceptable way to conclude the transaction. Sky440 management ultimately reached the conclusion that it was in the best interest of the company to end negotiations and focus on other, more viable acquisitions while continuing to implement its business model. "Sky Electronics is a fine company and we are confident they will rebound along with the economy," Harris added. "We look forward to reopening negotiations with them at that time."
