NOTE 4- BUSINESS COMBINATION


On October 15, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gilman. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, the Company issued 22,666,685 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Gilman. Additionally, the Company satisfied the obligations pursuant to certain liabilities of Gilman in consideration of $5,400,000. In August 2013, the Company issued 10,583,330 shares of its common stock pursuant to a private placement which generated net proceeds of $3,016,000 to partially finance the cash consideration of $5,400,000. Additionally, the Company granted 1,950,000 options to certain employees of Gilman whose employment agreements were assumed by the Company.


The acquisition of Gilman provides a platform to the Company to expand its existing service in the financial planning arena and adds tax return preparation services. The acquisition also increased substantially the number of representatives and new customers through which the Company can market its services.


The acquisition of Gilman has been accounted for as a business combination. Effective October 16, 2013, the results of Gilman’s operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The following tables summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Gilman and the amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value at the acquisition date:


Issuance of 22,666,685 shares of common stock to Gilman Stockholders

  $ 8,840,000  

Cash to satisfy obligations pursuant to certain liabilities of Gilman

    5,400,000  

Total Consideration

  $ 14,240,000  

The following table summarizes the recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:


Current assets

  $ 4,833,000  

Fixed assets

    482,000  

Other assets

    272,000  

Current liabilities

    (6,000,000 )

Long-term liabilities

Intangible assets

    10,417,000  

Goodwill

    4,464,000  

Total consideration

  $ 14,240,000  

The aforementioned allocation to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill is preliminary and the Company is still evaluating the allocation of the purchase price among certain intangible assets and goodwill. The Company anticipates that it will complete its analysis of the allocation of the purchase price among such assets within the next three months and that the final allocation will vary from the preliminary allocation. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining its operations of Gilman’s. The intangible assets recognized are primarily attributable to expected increased margins that the Company believes will result from Gilman’s existing customer relationships and increased margins from financial planning and tax preparation services that the Company will offer to its existing clients.


The following table presents the intangible assets subject to amortization and the carrying amount as of December 31, 2013 and the respective estimated useful lives:

    $ 10,417,000     $ (435,000 )   $ 9,982,000

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition occurred at October 1, 2012:

Revenues

  $ 43,861,000     $ 34,601,000  
                 

Net Income (Loss)

  $ 199,000     $ (1,541,000 )
                 

Basic earnings (loss) per share

  $ 0.00     $ (0.02 )
                 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share

  $ 0.00     $ (0.02 )

These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results to reflect, among other things, 1) additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to amortizable intangible assets had been applied, 2) additional compensation related to the grant of 1,950,000 stock options to certain employees of Gilman whose employment agreement was assumed by the Company, and 3) the shares issued by the Company in August 2013 to partially fund the $5,400,000 cash consideration. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been resulted had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated or that may result in the future.


The amount of revenues and income (loss) of Gilman since the acquisition date included in the statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:


Revenues

  $ 6,880,000
