NOTE
2
– HELOMICS ACQUISITION
 
The Company acquired
25%
of the capital stock of Helomics, in transactions in the
first
quarter of
2018.
On
April 4, 2019, (
the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed a forward triangular merger with Helomics Acquisition Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Helomics, acquiring the remaining
75%
of the capital stock of Helomics.
 
Helomics’ precision medicine services are designed to use artificial intelligence and a comprehensive disease database to improve the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Helomics’ precision oncology services are based on its D-CHIP diagnostic platform, which combines a database of genomic and drug response profiles from over
149,000
tumors with an artificial intelligence based searchable bioinformatics platform. Once a patient’s tumor is excised and analyzed, the D-CHIP platform compares the tumor profile with its database, and using its extensive drug response data, provides a specific therapeutic roadmap.
 
The acquisition of Helomics was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value for the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are based on information knowable and determined by management as of the date of this filing. The Company incurred
$656,615
in acquisition costs predominantly in legal and audit expenses.
 
The fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisition has
five
components totaling
$26,711,791.
The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the consideration transferred:
 
 
Value of shares to Helomics shareholders (i)   $

(i) Upon the acquisition, all outstanding shares of Helomics stock
not
already held by the Company were converted into the right to receive a proportionate share of
4,000,000
shares of common stock and
3,500,000
shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. The fair value of these shares on the date of issuance was
$5,612,250;
(ii) the Company forgave notes and interest due from Helomics relating to previous cash advances equaling
$2,210,381;
(iii) the Company eliminated debt owed by Helomics to noteholders by issuing
8,637,323
shares of common stock to the noteholders, the value of the shares was
$6,463,309;
(iv) the Company issued
14,245,063
warrants in exchange for warrants to purchase
23,741,772
shares of Helomics common stock to the Helomics noteholders agreeing to extinguish or extend their notes. An additional
597,000
warrants were exchanged for warrants held by other parties; the total consideration of all the exchanged warrants was valued by using the Black Scholes method and equaled
$6,261,591;
and, (v) as the Company’s acquisition of Helomics was a business combination achieved in stages, the initial
25%
purchase of Helomics in
2018
was required to be revalued at current fair value on the Acquisition Date. Immediately prior to the Acquisition Date the recorded value of the equity method investment was zero. On the Acquisition Date the Company determined the fair value of the previous equity method investment was
$6,164,260
and recorded a gain for the same amount in order to recognize the investment at its fair value. The gain was calculated as the difference between the implied fair value of the Company’s previous equity method investment in Helomics and the recorded book value immediately prior to the acquisition date. The implied fair value was calculated based on the purchase consideration exchanged to acquire the remaining
75%
of Helomics and factoring a
10%
discount for lack of control.
 
The fair values of all common and preferred shares issued as consideration in the transaction was determined using the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on
April 4, 2019.
 
The Company did
not
legally assume the debt extinguished on the day of the acquisition, however
three
noteholders did
not
exchange their notes for shares, and the holders agreed to extend such notes, representing
$303,333
in principal, to be due
90
days from the acquisition date. This portion of the debt was assumed by the Company. In order to receive the extension, the Company agreed to issue
583,003
warrants to the noteholders at an exercise price of
$1.00
per share. The warrants were accounted for under the Black Scholes accounting method.
 
Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
The Company acquired intangible assets related to trademarks for the acquired Helomics trade name with an estimated fair market value of
$398,000.
The Company expects to employ the Helomics trade name for the foreseeable future. The fair values of the assets were determined by the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach.
 
The Company acquired intangible assets with a useful life of
three
years and an estimated value of
$445,000
related to customer relationships stemming from stable and predictable cash flow streams associated with customers. Helomics’ customer base includes contract research partnerships with pharmaceutical, diagnostic, biotechnology, and research companies. Helomic’s existing customers are all within its CRO services business line. The customer relationships were valued using the with and without method under the income approach.
 
The Company acquired intangible assets with a useful life of
20
years and an estimated value of
$2,882,000
related to developed technology stemming from the D-CHIP diagnostic platform and underlying tumor database. Since the D-CHIP platform and underlying database was identified as the primary asset, this technology was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach.
 
The acquisition costs related to the intangible assets are presented in legal and accounting expenses within general and administrative expenses in the statement of net loss.
 
Goodwill
 
The
$23,790,290
goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and represents the future economic benefits and synergies arising from the transaction.
None
of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill was allocated to the
three
Helomics segments.
