Merger: For accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Bowlero Corp. issuing stock for the net assets of Isos, accompanied by a recapitalization. The following summarizes the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statement of cash flows, including the transaction funding, sources and uses of cash, and merger-related earnouts and warrants:

After making adjustments to the issuance of the Business Combination consideration shares, the redemption of the Isos ordinary shares, the consummation of the PIPE Offerings and the Forward Purchase Contract, the roll-over of vested options and the withholding of 1,068,884 shares for tax obligations from certain current and former employees and the conversion of common shares to preferred shares, there were 165,378,145 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date, of which 107,066,302 shares were Class A common stock and 58,311,203 shares were Class B common stock. There were 17,225,692 warrants outstanding as of the Closing Date.
The Company expensed $2,956 in transaction costs for amounts allocated to that portion of the earnouts related to Bowlero rather than as an offset to equity.
Acquisitions: The Company made a number of acquisitions of bowling centers during the nine months ended March 27, 2022 in order to expand our market share in key geographic areas, and to improve our ability to leverage our fixed costs.
The Company estimates the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date for business combinations. For business combinations, we will continue to evaluate and refine the estimates used to record the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed throughout the permitted measurement period, which may result in corresponding offsets to goodwill in future periods. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition dates. The remaining fair value estimates to finalize include intangibles, and property and equipment.
The goodwill acquired in the business combinations during fiscal year 2022 represents:
the value of an assembled workforce
future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, and
the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations
The goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes.
Business combinations: The Company’s preliminary accounting for the allocations of the purchase price for five business combinations at the dates of the respective acquisitions is based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired, components of consideration transferred and the transactional related expenses.

Asset acquisition: For asset acquisitions, we apply the cost accumulation model in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The cost accumulation model requires us to measure all the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their fair value and then adjust them based on the total consideration transferred. The following table summarizes the allocation of the fair value amounts under a cost accumulation approach:

The following summarizes the key valuation approaches and assumptions utilized in calculating fair values for Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions:
Property and equipment — Buildings and site improvements are valued using the cost approach and land is valued using the sales comparison approach. The fair value of tangible personal property was determined primarily using the cost approach. The current use of certain nonfinancial assets acquired differed from their highest and best use, due to
local market conditions, the value of the land exceeding the combined fair values of the land and building, and zoning and commercial viability of the surrounding area. The valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the land and building are based on level 3 inputs, including discount rates, sales projections, and future cash flows.
Assets held for sale — We utilize a valuation specialist to determine the assets held for sale estimated fair value less costs to sell. These inputs are classified as level 2 fair value measurements.
Intangible assets — We acquired intangible assets including trade names, non-competition agreements, customer relationships and liquor licenses.
Trade names: Trade names are recognized during Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions using the relief-from-royalty method, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions used in the calculation include: revenue projections, a royalty rate based on qualitative factors and the market-derived royalty rates, discount rate based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") adjusted for risks commonly inherent in trade names.
Non-Competition: Non-compete agreements are recognized during Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions. The Company records the fair value of non-competition agreements using the differential discounted cash flow method income approach, a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions used in the fair value calculations for non-competition agreements include: potential competitor impact on revenue and expense projections, discount rate based on the Company’s WACC adjusted for risks commonly inherent in intangible assets, specifically non-compete agreements.
Customer relationships: The Company records customer relationships for Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions based on the fair value of contractual customer relationships with bowling leagues using the excess earnings income approach and discounted cash flow method, which are considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions used in the fair value calculations for relationships include: revenue and expense projections, customer retention rate for leagues, discount rate based on the Company’s WACC adjusted for risks inherent in intangible assets, specifically customer relationships and the remaining useful life.
Liquor licenses: The Company records the fair value of brokered liquor licenses acquired in Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions using the market approach. Significant assumptions used in the calculation include approximation based on recent sales of liquor licenses in the respective jurisdictions and assignment of an indefinite useful life as licenses do not expire and can be sold to third parties.
Contingent Consideration — A business combination during fiscal year 2022 included $1,470 of non-cash contingent consideration. The contingency depends on approvals by the local township that requires us to transfer real property in the event of certain decisions being made. The range of contingent consideration is $0 - $1,470. We recorded the amount based on:
(i)The probability of the contingency being met
(ii)A comparable sales approach to determine the value of the non-cash consideration.
These inputs are classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.
Deferred Tax Liability – Since the Bowl America acquisition was a non-taxable stock acquisition, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities for the difference between the tax carryover basis and the book value of the opening balances, which were recorded and allocated based on fair values to the respective assets acquired.
