NOTE 5. ACQUISITION

Therapeutics Medical

 

On March 10, 2016, we acquired finished goods inventory, trademarks, a patent, and a customer list along with vendor numbers from Therapeutics Medical, a company which had previously been engaged in the research, development, and marketing of nutraceutical supplements. The assets were acquired at auction and were selected from among a group of assets held for sale by Therapeutics Medical. The total consideration transferred in connection with the acquisition was $1,250,000. The Company acquired the finished goods inventory, which was valued at replacement cost in the amount of $58,622. The trademarks of certain brands were valued at $300,000 based on an estimated royalty approach. The patent was valued at $3,078. The customer list with vendor numbers was valued at $888,300 based on an estimate of the cost to enter into such relationships. The Company complied with ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” and accounted for the Therapeutics Medical transaction as an asset purchase. As consideration for the asset purchase, we issued a $1,250,000 principal amount convertible promissory note due September 10, 2017, which accrues interest at the rate of one percent per annum; and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 90% of the average of the lowest three volume-weighted average prices of one share of common stock for the five consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. During October 2016, the convertible promissory note was converted into 189,193 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $6.60 per share.

 

The Company determined that the trademarks, patent, and customer list with vendor numbers have a definite useful life because of legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that limit the useful life of the assets and therefore, the assets will be amortized over the estimated useful life as follows:

 

  · Customer Relationships – Management has determined that the asset will be amortized over a five-year life based on its estimate of customer life of the relationship.
     
  · Trademarks of the Brands – Management determined that the life of the brand can last on average from eight to twelve years. Management determined that the life of the brands shall be ten years from the date of the brand launch. The Company has classified the trademarks of the brands in three categories based on the estimated remaining lives from the date we acquired the trademark. Category I was the newest brand launched. Management determined that it has eight years remaining from the date we acquired the trademark. Therefore, they will be amortized over the remaining years from the date we acquired the trademark. Category II was the second newest brand launched. Management has determined that it has four years remaining from the date we acquired the trademark. Therefore, they will be amortized over the remaining years from the date we acquired the trademark. Category III was the oldest brand launched. Management has determined that it has two years remaining from the date we acquired the trademark.
     
  · Patent – The process patent acquired is directly associated with the Category III brands and should have the same amortization life as the brand. Management determined that it has two years remaining. Therefore, it will be amortized over the remaining years.

The estimated purchase price of Black Oak (for accounting purposes) was $51,489,665. The purchase price was determined based on the value of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the various series of preferred stock issued in connection with the acquisition, or $3.93 per share of common stock, which was the closing sales price of our common stock on April 1, 2016, as quoted on the OTC Market Group Inc.’s OTCQX tier.

  (iii) the issuance of approximately 185 shares of our Series Z Preferred Stock (or, upon conversion, 1,853,607 shares of our common stock), approximately 196,769 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock (or, upon conversion, 1,059,466 shares of our common stock), and approximately 583 shares of our Series Q Preferred Stock (or, upon conversion, 2,913,073 shares of our common stock), which collectively, were converted into approximately 5,826,147 shares of our common stock (the “Holdback Consideration”); and
     
  (iv) the contingent cash consideration of up to $2,088,000 pursuant to certain earn-out provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement, payable to the Group B Shareholders (the “Performance-Based Cash Consideration”).

Tech Center Drive

 

On September 13, 2017, the Company acquired all assets of Tech Center Drive and majority control of 55 OC. The acquisition of Tech Center Drive and 55 OC was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations.” 55 OC is a mutual benefit corporation which holds a cannabis license with the City of Santa Ana in the State of California. Tech Center Drive manages the dispensary under the license of 55 OC. Control of 55 OC was obtained by the Company’s CEO and Treasurer holding two of the three Board seats of 55 OC and through the management contract held by Tech Center Drive.

 

The purchase price allocation for the acquisition, as set forth in the table below, reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, which are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, and residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could also be affected. The Company acquired inventory, property, equipment and leasehold improvements, a security deposit and a management service agreement which allows for Tech Center Drive to purchase the medical marijuana dispensary license of 55 OC.

 

As consideration for entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $4,120,791 in cash, issued 633,348 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $2,090,046 on the closing date and issued 192,758 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $636,100 into an escrow account. The shares held in escrow are to be paid six months after the acquisition date subject to any amounts to be withheld related to working capital type adjustments. The Company is also due $316,363 from the sellers of Tech Center Drive for amounts paid in excess of the agreement, which will be settled six months after the closing date. The value of the shares issued were based on the closing value of the Company's common stock on September 13, 2017, which was $3.30 per share.

 

The following table summarizes the acquisition with a purchase price of $6,839,925:

 

Assets Acquired      
Inventory   $ 113,779  
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements:        
Furniture and Equipment     52,829  
Leasehold Improvements     46,737  
Security Deposits     5,000  
Management Service Agreement     6,621,580
