If the FIN Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Required Effective Date, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to the FIN Shareholders in cash in the amount equal to $2,170,000, 2% of the value of the Merger Shares on the Closing Date, which was $108,600,000, for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

The acquisition date amounts for Vapestick and FIN are based upon management’s estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates. The customer relationships are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 5 to 10 years. Tradenames are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, as well as expected future synergies. We expect that goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The allocation of the purchase price for our acquisitions of Vapestick and FIN is considered preliminary as the Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation amounts received from its third party valuation specialist given the proximity of these acquisitions to March 31, 2014. With regard to Vapestick, the Company is completing the evaluation of opening balance sheet tax amounts. With regard to FIN, the Company is completing the evaluation of opening balance sheet identifiable intangibles and tax amounts.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include the results of Vapestick and FIN since January 9, 2014 and February 28, 2014, respectively.
