NOTE 2.   INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS


Flowhub SAFE


On November 7, 2018, we invested $250,000 in Flowhub Holdings, LLC (“Flowhub”) through a simple agreement for future equity (the “Flowhub SAFE”). The Flowhub SAFE provides us with the right to either (a) future equity in Flowhub when it completes an equity financing, or (b) future equity in Flowhub or cash proceeds if there is a liquidity event. If there is an equity financing, Flowhub would issue to us (a) a number of standard preferred units equal to our investment divided by the price per share of the standard preferred units if the pre-money valuation is less than or equal to the valuation cap ($35 million); or (b) a number of safe preferred units equal to the purchase amount divided by the valuation cap ($35 million), if the pre-money valuation is greater than the valuation cap. If there is a liquidity event, we will receive either (a) a cash payment equal to the purchase amount or (b) automatically receive a number of common units equal to the purchase amount divided by the liquidity price.  Our investment in the Flowhub SAFE is included under investment on the consolidated balance sheet and is shown as long-term because it is not readily convertible into cash.


Desert Created Company LLC / DB Products Arizona, LLC


In January 2018, we entered into a limited liability company operating agreement with DNFC LLC (“DNFC”), pursuant to the formation of Desert Created Company LLC (“Desert Created”).  Each party owned a 50% interest in Desert Created, which took over the assets and operations of DB Products Arizona, LLC (“DB Arizona”).  Desert Created produces and distributes cannabis-infused edible products in Arizona.  In connection with the formation of Desert Created, we contributed 75,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, to members of DNFC (collectively, the “DNFC Sellers”).  This pricing was agreed to in November 2017, however, the transaction did not close until January 2018.  In the interim, our stock price increased substantially, which was the reason for the initial impairment noted below.  In October 2018, we sold our 50% interest to DNFC for cash consideration of $23,045 and, accordingly, impaired the remaining balance.


The 75,000 shares of our common stock were valued at $461,000, based on the closing price per share of our common stock on January 24, 2018, or $7.23 per share, reduced by a discount of 15% due to the restrictions on the DNFC Seller’s ability to immediately sell such shares.  The warrants were valued at $518,000, using the Black-Scholes model, assuming a life of 5.0 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.2% and a volatility of 150%.  The fair value of Desert Created was estimated based on the relative fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of cash, accounts receivable, equipment and accounts payable.

$


We loaned $26,500 to DB Arizona during the year ended December 31, 2017.  In June 2017, we purchased 100% of the ownership interests in GC Finance Arizona LLC (“GC Finance Arizona”) from Infinity Capital for $106,000 in cash.  GC Finance Arizona holds a 50% ownership interest in DB Arizona, an $825,000 loan to DB Arizona, and no liabilities.  We expected future positive cash flows, if any, would first go towards paying the holders of DB Arizona’s notes payable.  Accordingly, we allocated the entire consideration of $106,000 to the note receivable from DB Arizona.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, DB Arizona’s operations were taken over by Desert Created and, as a result, we impaired the full amount of our notes receivable from DB Arizona.


Mile High Protection Services


On August 18, 2017, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Mile High APA”) with Mile High Protection Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, and its sole member (together “Seller”) whereby we acquired the tradename, workforce, customer contracts, and other intangible assets of the business. Pursuant to the Mile High APA, we agreed to deliver to Seller 224,359 restricted shares of our common stock. The shares vested over a six-month period. The Mile High APA contained certain provisions that required Seller to forfeit a portion of such shares in the event that Seller does not meet the obligations under the Mile High APA. In accordance with the terms of the Mile High APA, the number of shares to be delivered was reduced by 120,000, thus 104,359 shares of our common stock were due upon vesting.  Seller also agreed to a three year non-compete agreement.


The 104,359 shares of restricted common stock were valued based on the closing price per share of our common stock on August 18, 2017, or $1.75 per share, reduced by a discount of 15% due to the vesting period and the restrictions on the Seller’s ability to immediately sell such shares.  The $155,000 value of stock consideration was recorded as accrued stock payable on the December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, which was reduced when the vesting requirements for the shares was met and we issued the common stock in February 2018.


The purchase price allocation was as follows:
