Mar 9, 2007 08:00:00 (ET)
SAN DIEGO, March 9, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- WFI (WFII, Trade ), a leader in the design, deployment and management of wireless communication networks, information technology solutions and security systems, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with LCC International (LCCI, Trade ) to sell WFI's entire Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) business in a cash for stock transaction valued at $4 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2007.
This transaction allows WFI to focus on a number of domestic opportunities and business initiatives, such as:
* Allowing WFI to place greater focus on the growing domestic opportunities arising from the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum auction in the United States
* Minimize risk by exiting business where WFI does not already have a substantive business with critical mass
* Further leverage WFI's domestic operations to maximize efficiency
* Improve WFI's free cash flow and liquidity
"The sale of WFI's EMEA business is consistent with our strategy to focus our business even more directly on the growing domestic opportunities in our industry," said Eric DeMarco, president and CEO of WFI. "LCC has an established critical mass in Europe that can more effectively support a profitable operation in this region. This business has made notable achievements, including significantly diversifying both its geographic reach and customer base, and I want to thank our employees for their dedication and efforts. Now, by divesting of this business, WFI can dedicate even more of its resources on pursuing the opportunities arising from the AWS Spectrum Auction, as well as other profitable growth areas in the U.S. market. Additionally, this transaction will improve WFI's free cash flow and overall liquidity as we pay down debt, another aspect of our transition strategy."
WFI's EMEA business operation is headquartered in Guilford, England, just outside of London, and includes additional regional offices located in France, Sweden, Turkey, Austria and Egypt.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets," WFI's EMEA operations will be treated as discontinued operations in WFI's financial statements for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, all prior year presentations are required to be reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations. WFI does not currently expect the divestiture costs related to this discontinued operation to be material. The employees associated with WFI's EMEA operations will become employees of LCC under the new ownership.

The shares hit an all-time low at $1.80 in after-market trading.

In a statement, the company said results from continuing operations would be impacted by charges related to goodwill, stock-based compensation expense restructuring and other asset impairment charges, most of which are as part of its plan to divest its international operations that had operating losses throughout 2006.
The company expects a goodwill impairment charge of $18.3 million related to acquisitions made in its Enterprise Network Services segment in 2003, a $9.2 million charge related to stock-based compensation expense and a restructuring and other asset impairment charge of $3.4 million.
Further, the results from discontinued operations will include losses of about $3.2 million from its European and South American operations and an estimated loss of about $5.2 million from its South American operations.
Earlier this month, the provider of engineering and technical services for the wireless communication industry, agreed to sell its Europe, Middle East and Africa business.

WELL THIS WAS A POS PICK --PPS 1.48 !!!!Johnson & Perkinson Announces Filing of Class Action Lawsuit Against Wireless Facilities, Inc. -- WFII
Mar 19, 2007 18:19:36 (ET)
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt., Mar 19, 2007 (*********wire via COMTEX) -- Johnson & Perkinson ("J&P") hereby announces that it filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of plaintiff and a proposed class of purchasers of securities of Wireless Facilities, Inc. (WFII, Trade ) ("WFI" or "Company") during the period March 29, 2001 to March 12, 2007 inclusive (the "Class Period").
The Complaint alleges that WFI and certain officers and directors violated Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false and misleading statements and omissions concerning WFI's improper and undisclosed practice of backdating options conferred on certain executives, which made it appear that such options were issued upon dates when the market price of WFI stock was lower than actual market price on the actual grant dates, thereby masking the profits the option recipients obtained. Under generally accepted accounting principles, these profits were required to be recognized as an expense in the Company's financial statements for the appropriate period, but were not. This backdating of options also violated provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to deduction of option payments. Thus, the Complaint alleges, the Company's financial statements in Form 10-K filings for the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and Form 10-Q quarterly filings were materially false and misleading.
The plaintiff is represented by J&P, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions and actions involving financial fraud. J&P is a litigation boutique dedicated to maximizing shareholders' returns and keeping the lead plaintiffs involved in the litigation. Attorneys Johnson and Perkinson are both former employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Members of the firm have prosecuted complex class actions on behalf of plaintiffs in the areas of securities and consumer fraud since 1985. Based in South Burlington, Vermont, the firm has prosecuted leading actions on behalf of defrauded investors against numerous public companies resulting in the recovery of many millions of dollars and has been singled out for its excellence by various courts. The firm is litigating, or recently resolved litigation as lead or co-lead counsel, in securities class actions against Xerox, Priceline, i2, Allaire, and Xchange, and serves on the Executive Committee in the Global Crossing case.
If you bought Wireless Facilities securities between March 29, 2001 and March 12, 2007, you may, not later than sixty (60) days from March 16, 2007, move the court to serve as lead plaintiff. To serve as lead plaintiff, however, you must meet certain legal requirements.
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this Notice or rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact: Eben F. Duval at Johnson & Perkinson, toll free at 1-888-459-7855, via email at email*jpclasslaw.com, or write to Johnson & Perkinson, 1690 Williston Road, P.O. Box 2305, South Burlington, Vermont 05403.
