3. ACQUISITIONS

VirBELA

On November 29, 2018, (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company and its subsidiary, eXp World Technologies, LLC (“Purchaser) acquired substantially all the assets of VirBELA, LLC (VirBELA), a California limited liability company. VirBELA provides a cloud-based environment focused on educational and innovative learning technologies to enhance global education experiences that empower individuals, teams, and organizations for clients in various industries. Its model allows for a level of engagement and participation that can typically only be achieved with face-to-face instruction. Its proprietary immersive 3D campus, which supports blended learning and big data assessment, is highly customizable to meet the branding and educational needs of clients. VirBELA developed the Company’s current cloud campus called eXp World, which provides 24/7 access to collaborative tools, training and socialization for the Company’s real estate agents and employees. The acquisition of VirBELA’s core group of products and services will allow eXp Realty to continue to accelerate its business in a sustainable and innovative way, which is consistent with our vision to expand the product offering to agents, teams and others who could benefit from their own, always available environments for collaboration.

The Company acquired the assets of VirBELA for a total purchase price of $10,607,800, consisting of cash of $7,000,000 and future payments of $3,607,800, that can be settled at the Company’s discretion with cash or through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock. A cash payment of $6,500,000 was paid at closing and 97,371 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock having a value of $1,000,000 was issued at closing. On the acquisition date, the Company held $500,000 in accounts payable to secure the seller’s performance of certain post close obligations. During the first quarter of 2019, the seller performed its post close obligations and the $500,000 was paid to the seller. The remaining obligation will be paid in either cash or in the Company’s common stock, at its discretion, having a value of $1,000,000 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Acquisition Date. The fair value of future payment obligations was $2,607,800 as of the Acquisition Date and is remeasured at each reporting period since the Company could issue a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed monetary amount. The discount of $392,200 will be amortized over the reporting periods using the effective interest method during fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021. For the period ended December 31, 2019, the discount amortization was $139,723. As of December 31, 2019, long-term payables, net of current portion and current portion of long-term payable was $832,946 and $916,240, respectively

The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price of VirBELA to the acquired identifiable assets, and goodwill:


Accounts receivable	$	4,273
Inventory		968
Fixed assets		23,452
Intangible assets		2,331,000
Goodwill		8,248,107
Total purchase price	$	10,607,800

The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under which the Company allocated the total purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, as determined by management. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values of the identifiable assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill generated from the Acquisition was primarily attributable to an assembled workforce and planned expansion of VirBELA into new markets.

The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired in the VirBELA acquisition was:


Tradename	$	1,169,000
Existing Technology		297,000
Non-competition agreements		125,000
Customer contracts		740,000
Total intangible assets purchased	$	2,331,000

The allocation of the fair value of the acquired business was based on valuations of the estimated net fair value of the assets acquired. For tax purposes, goodwill is amortized over 15 years and is tax deductible. The fair values of these net assets acquired are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques.
