BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

tZERO Crypto, Inc.

Through a series of transactions in 2018, Medici Ventures acquired a 33% equity interest in tZERO Crypto, Inc. ("tZERO Crypto"), formerly Bitsy, Inc., a U.S.-based startup that built a regulatory-compliant bridge between traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, allowing customers the ability to store, purchase and sell cryptocurrencies. tZERO Crypto was founded by Steve Hopkins, tZERO's former president and Medici Ventures' former chief operating officer and general counsel, who held a significant equity interest in tZERO Crypto. On December 21, 2018, tZERO entered into a stock purchase agreement with the owners of tZERO Crypto to acquire the remaining 67% equity interest for $8.0 million with effective control of tZERO Crypto transferring to tZERO effective January 1, 2019. In connection with the December 2018 stock purchase agreement, Medici Ventures transferred its 33% equity interest in tZERO Crypto to tZERO for a $4.0 million convertible promissory note due December 31, 2020 and an assignment of certain intellectual property to Medici Ventures.

tZERO has expanded the wallet's capabilities and launched it as the tZERO Crypto wallet and exchange service. tZERO plans to offer these services as part of a suite of products that includes a digital wallet and exchange service between traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2. Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment. As of March 31, 2019, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of June 30, 2019, which decreased Intangible assets by $650,000, increased Deferred tax liabilities by $943,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $1.7 million. We recognized an impairment of $1.3 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value our 33% equity interest in tZERO Crypto held before the business combination which was based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 2. Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). The impairment is included in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Acquired intangible assets primarily include patents, technology, and licenses. The acquired assets, liabilities, and associated operating results of tZERO Crypto were consolidated into our financial statements at the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized arises from expected synergies with our tZERO operations that do not qualify for separate recognition as intangible assets and also the deferred tax liabilities arising from the business combination. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of this acquisition were not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Mac Warehouse, LLC

On June 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the total equity interests of Mac Warehouse, LLC, an electronics retailer of refurbished Apple products, to complement our retail business. As of December 31, 2018, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of March 31, 2019, which decreased the recognized Intangibles assets by $2.8 million, increased Accrued liabilities by $527,000, decreased Deferred tax liabilities by $837,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $2.5 million. Additionally, the change to the provisional amount resulted in a decrease in amortization expense and accumulated depreciation of $1.4 million, of which $981,000 relates to the year ended December 31, 2018, and a $459,000 increase in Other Income related to the Accrued Liabilities that were expensed in 2018. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2. Accounting Policies—Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.
