Note 2. Business Combination

        On April 4, 2013, the merger by and among Cinelatino, WAPA and Azteca providing for the acquisition of Cinelatino and the combination of WAPA and Azteca as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere (the "Transaction") was consummated. The primary purpose of the Transaction was to create a Spanish-language media company targeting the Hispanic broadcast and cable television network business.

        The Transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA is the accounting acquirer and predecessor, whose historical results are the results of Hemisphere:

  • i.
    WAPA shareholders obtained approximately 46.4% of the post-Transaction common shares of stock and 59.9% of the voting rights in the combined entities;

    ii.
    WAPA, through its parent company, InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. ("InterMedia Partners"), has the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity, as they represent five of the nine directors on the combined entity board of directors, including the Chief Executive Officer; and

    iii.
    WAPA's historical revenues represent approximately 69.0% of the total revenues of the combined entities.

        As WAPA is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA would be based on the number of shares WAPA would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares were publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction.

        Total consideration transferred by WAPA (accounting acquirer) to Cinelatino (accounting acquiree) was $129.4 million based on: (i) cash consideration of $3.8 million (funded from cash on hand), plus (ii) 12,567,538 shares with a fair value of $128.8 million based on the Company's opening share price of $10.25 per share on the date following the consummation of the Transaction for each share of the Company's common stock to be received by Cinelatino stockholders in the Transaction, (iii) less contingently returnable consideration with a fair value of $3.2 million. The $3.2 million represents the difference between the fair value of $11.7 million of 1,142,504 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture in the event the closing market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not equal or exceed $12.50 and $15.00 for any twenty trading days within at least one 30-day trading period (within 36 months of the date of the Transaction) and the estimated fair value of $8.5 million of these shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction, 571,252 shares, with fair value of $1.2 million, have achieved the $12.50 trading price are no longer subject to forfeiture and are included in additional paid-in capital. Significant assumptions utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation model include:

  • Stock Price: $10.25

    Volatility: 32.5%

    Risk-Free Rate: 0.69%

        The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Cinelatino (amounts in thousands):

Cash

  $ 12,865  

Accounts receivable

    4,053  

Programming rights

    4,460  

Prepaid expenses and other assets

    940  

Property and equipment, net

    21  

Other assets

    336  

Intangible asset—affiliate agreements

    37,900  

Current liabilities

    (6,272 )

Deferred tax liabilities

    (12,594 )

Long-term debt

    (32,097 )
       

Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired

    9,612  

Goodwill

    119,812  
       

Total

  $ 129,424  
       
       

        The estimated fair values of Cinelatino's affiliate agreements of $37.9 million, was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on expected renewal rates utilizing a 10% discount rate. These intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 years.

        The accounts receivable acquired have a fair value of $4.1 million and all contractual receivables are expected to be collected.

        During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company finalized its acquisition accounting. As a result, a deferred tax asset related to tax goodwill recognized in the previous acquisition of Cinelatino in 2007 was reversed in the opening balance sheet, resulting in an increase in goodwill of $14.3 million.

        Goodwill of $119.8 million is the excess of the net consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and primarily represents the benefits the Company expects to realize from the acquisition. The goodwill associated with the Transaction is not deductible for tax purposes.

        The number of shares of stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Transaction is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):
