INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On April 13, 2015, BPU acquired from BPUNY certain assets, including the trademark "Beauty & Pin Ups" and its variants and certain other intellectual property and assumed $277,500 of BPUNY's accounts payable to its product vendor, which was paid off in April 2016.

 

On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired 51% ownership in I’M1 from I’M1 Holdings. I’M1’s assets include the trademark "I’M1” and its variants and certain other intellectual property. Specifically, a licensing agreement with kathy ireland® Worldwide and an advisory agreement for services with kathy ireland® Worldwide. The licensing agreement provides the rights to use of the tradename for business and licensing purposes, this is the baseline of the business and will be required as long as the business is operating. Our capability for renewals of these agreements are extremely likely as the agreements are with a related party. We also believe the existence of this agreement does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows for I’M1 and therefore we have identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired 51% ownership in EE1 from EE1 Holdings. EE1’s assets include the trademark "EE1” and its variants and certain other intellectual property. Specifically, a production deal agreement with BMG Rights Management US and an advisory agreement for services with kathy ireland® Worldwide. We believe the production deal agreement and the advisory agreement do not have limits on the time they will contribute to the generation of cash flows for EE1 and therefore we have identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

On September 8, 2017, the Company entered into a seven year wholesale license agreement with Andre Carthen and issued 45,500 shares of common stock, valued at $179,725. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $65,000 in cash within 30 days completion of its initial public offering and also issued warrants to purchase 45,500 shares of common stock at a strike price of $4.00. The warrants were valued at $65,338. Under the terms of this nonexclusive agreement, we have the right to use, assign and sublicense the marks, intellectual property and other rights in connection with "Chef Andre," "Andre Carthen," ACafe" or "Fit Chef" and all trade names, trademarks and service marks related to this intellectual property for the purpose of entering into sublicense agreements with third parties for the manufacture, marketing and sale of products utilizing these marks. In December 2018, the parties amended the agreement to remove the annual minimum guarantee in return for a one time payment of $70,000. We are amortizing the capitalized value of the cash, warrants and common stock over the seven year term of the agreement and have amortized $12,091 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

On September 8, 2017, the Company entered into a seven year wholesale license agreement with Nicholas Walker and issued 25,000 shares of common stock, valued at $98,750. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $40,000 in cash within 30 days completion of its initial public offering and also issued warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at a strike price of $4.00. The warrants were valued at $35,900. Under the terms of this nonexclusive agreement, we have the right to use, assign and sublicense the marks, intellectual property and other rights in connection with "Jardin," "Nicholas Walker," "Nicholas Walker Jardin," "Nicholas Walker Garden Party," "Cultivated by Nicholas Walker," and "Jardin Du Jour," and all trade names, trademarks and service marks related to this intellectual property for the purpose of entering into sublicense agreements with third parties for the manufacture, marketing and sale of products utilizing these marks. In December 2018, the parties amended the agreement to remove the annual minimum guarantee in return for a one time payment of $10,000. We are amortizing the capitalized value of the cash, warrants and common stock over the seven year term of the agreement and have amortized $6,382 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

In September 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive seven year license agreement with kathy ireland® Worldwide for the right to license the mark, intellectual property and other marks in connection with kathy ireland® Health & Wellness™. The agreement is for seven years for a license fee of $840,000. The Company has an option to extend for another three years for an additional price of $360,000. Per the agreement, $480,000 was paid prior to January 1, 2018. The remaining amount of $360,000 was due in equal installments on January 1 of subsequent years until the license fee is paid, and were classified as long term liabilities related party as of December 31, 2017. Under this license agreement with kathy ireland® Worldwide we were granted an exclusive, royalty free right to license, assign and use the kathy ireland® Health & Wellness™ trademark, and all trade names, trademarks and service marks related to the intellectual property including any derivatives or modifications, goodwill associated with this intellectual property when used in conjunction with health and wellness as well as Ms. Ireland's likeness, videos, photographs and other visual representations connected with kathy ireland® Health & Wellness™. In January 2018, the Company amended its wholesale license agreement with kathy Ireland® Worldwide. The amendment accounted for the Company exercising its option on a three year extension and amending the payment terms related to this extension as follows: royalty payments to kathy ireland® Worldwide for the three year extension would be set at 35% of net proceeds, to pay $400,000 within 5 days of executing the amendment (which was paid on January 31, 2018), and to pay the final amounts due under the Agreement, $320,000, on the latter of January 1, 2019 or 30 days after the receipt by the Company of $5,000,000 in net proceeds from sublicense agreements signed under the health and wellness trademarks. On December 20, 2018, both parties agreed to reduce the final amount owed to $300,000 if paid within 5 days, which was paid immediately.

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed the Mergers with Cure Based Development and acquired certain assets, including the trademark "cbdMD" and its variants and certain other intellectual property. The trademark is the cornerstone of this subsidiary and is key as we create and distribute products and continue to build this brand. We believe the trademark does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore we have identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets (see Note 2 for more information).

The Company performs an impairment analysis at August 1 annually on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred and the Company evaluates the indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. The Company has performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis and for the years ended September 30, 2018 and there was no impairment.

 

The Company has performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis for the year ended September 30, 2018 accounting for the performance of BPU and the business shift in relation to its original business model and current focus on licensing and has determined that an impairment is required. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $240,000 as impairment to intangibles under the BPU segment for the year ended of September 30, 2018. No other impairments were identified. Based upon the anticipated changes to BPU’s business model, the Company had determined that it was appropriate to reclassify the remaining carrying value of this intangible asset to a definite-lived asset. The Company began amortizing this asset beginning the first quarter of 2019. This reclassification is being accounted for as a prospective change in estimate.

 

The Company has determined that no event or circumstances indicate likeliness of an impairment as of December 31, 2018 for the current indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

The Company also performs an impairment analysis at August 1 annually on the definite lived intangible assets following the guidance in ASC 360-10-35-21. We first assess if there is an indicator of possible impairment such as change in the use of the asset, market price changes in the asset, or other events that impact the value of the asset. If an indicator is present we then perform a quantitative analysis to determine if the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable. This is done by comparing the total undiscounted future cash flows of the long-lived asset to its carrying amount. If the total undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the asset, the carrying amount is deemed recoverable and an impairment is not recorded. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is deemed to be unrecoverable, an impairment loss needs to be estimated.

 

In order to calculate the impairment loss, the Fair Value of the asset must be determined. Fair Value referenced here is determined using the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 820. After assessing indicators for impairment, the Company determined that a quantitative analysis was not needed as of December 31, 2018.
