At the peak of 2007, Heelys's quarterly revenue reached $74 million, but this year's second quarter revenue has dropped to less than $6 million.

Under the agreement, Evergreen will buy Heelys's operating assets for $13 million 900 thousand, which will then be liquidated.

According to the terms of the paction, Heelys will have 30 days to solicit a better offer from the third party.
