“On december 18, 2017, nfstc entered into an agreement with the florida international university board of trustees (fiu) to transfer substantially all of the assets of the center to fiu. In addition, nfstc will transfer funding agreements and certain other agreements which are central to the business of nfstc to fiu. All employees of nfstc on the closing date of the transfer will become employees of fiu. The closing date for the transfer was expected to be no later than december 29, 2017. A bill of sale and assignment agreement was executed on december 29, 2017 to transfer the assets and agreements to fiu. Subsequent to december 31, 2017, it was mutually determined there were certain legal and operational matters yet to be resolved in regards to transferring certain agreements to fiu. As a result, the transfer of assets and certain agreements to fiu was postponed until the legal and operational matters could be resolved. All matters have not been resolved as of december 31, 2018. It is planned that nfstc operations will cease and the corporation will be dissolved upon completion of the merger. During 2018, certain programs were transferred to fiu as part of the acquisition. Online course sales, test and evaluation, and video production services were transferred as well as the efec training contract. In addition, upon transfer of facility lease agreements to fiu, nfstc discontinued subleasing space to like-minded organizations.
