The company said it is currently developing a plan of reorganisation that will be submitted to the court for approval. HNS also announced it had entered into an asset purchase agreement with Florida-based TeeZee under which TeeZee has offered to acquire substantially all of the assets of HNS, in exchange for total consideration of US$2.29m.


If the plan is confirmed, and the sale takes place, Health & Nutrition Systems said the proceeds will be used by the company to identify and facilitate its entry into a more profitable line of business, either through a merger or otherwise.
