AirIQ Announces Release of Escrow Funds

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

TORONTO, ONTARIO – AirIQ Inc., a leader in wireless location-based services and specializing in telematics and security, has received funds that had been held in escrow since the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the company's subsidiary, AirIQ U.S., Inc., relating to its vehicle finance industry tracking business, to CalAmp DataCom, Inc., a subsidiary of CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp"), on Mar. 16, 2007.

The 12-month hold on the funds ended Mar. 16, 2008, following which CalAmp had 30 days to submit a claim against the escrow. Since CalAmp has no claims against the escrowed funds, on Mar. 27, 2008, they agreed to release the escrowed funds to AirIQ, and AirIQ has received the funds today.

"This is testimony to the excellent relationship we have maintained with staff at CalAmp," said Steve Willey, president and chief executive officer of AirIQ Inc. "Furthermore, it demonstrates AirIQ's unique ability to select high value acquisitions, to fully leverage their assets, and to opportunistically harvest from its expanding portfolio of telematics applications."

SEC Proposal to Allow Early Adoption of International Accounting Standards

By Mike Antich
On Aug. 27, the Securities and Exchange Commission raised the possibility that approximately 110 U.S. publicly traded companies will be able to use international accounting standards (IAS) next year and may require all U.S. companies to switch to IAS between 2014-2016. There is a 60-day comment period about the SEC proposal. Fleet leasing will be impacted by the adoption of IAS. It is probable that all fleet leases in the U.S. will need to be capitalized sometime in the 2011-2016 timeframe.

The Hidden Cost of Personal Use

By Mike Antich
With fuel prices remaining elevated, many companies are wondering whether they are charging enough for personal use. At some companies, this discussion is long overdue. When re-evaluating personal use charges, a common mistake is to focus solely on the cost of fuel, which is understandable because, after all, fuel is the catalyst for these discussions. However, doing so ignores the other “hidden” costs of personal use, which have also risen.
