Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 6, 2006, eLEC Communications Corp. (eLEC) withdrew its offer to buy all outstanding membership interests of Liberty Bell Telecom LLC (Liberty), a privately-held telecommunications company. eLEC and Liberty previously announced that the companies had signed a letter of intent for eLEC to acquire Liberty.
In contemplation of such acquisition, eLEC raised acquisition financing in the amount of $1,050,000 from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (Laurus), which funds are currently being held in a restricted cash account pending the closing of the proposed Liberty acquisition or another acquisition approved by Laurus. eLEC intends to seek the approval of Laurus for the release of such funds for the acquisition of another entity or the release of all or a portion of such funds for working capital purposes. If eLEC is unable to obtain the consent of Laurus for the release of such funds, such funds will be returned to Laurus to reduce eLECs outstanding indebtedness to Laurus.
