Acquisitions
The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess recorded as goodwill. The Company agreed to pay a portion of the purchase price for certain acquisitions in the form of contingent purchase price and the unpaid amounts of these liabilities are included in the acquisition related liabilities on the condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement with the sellers of Kinetic Data Solutions, LLC (“Kinetic”), an entity controlled by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of Kinetic. The fair value of the purchase consideration was estimated at $2,762. The Company agreed to issue 306,749 shares of Series A common stock with a fair value of $2,738 and certain earn-outs based on the operating performance of the acquired business after the closing date. The
earn-out
was calculated based on the operating performance of the acquired business and the Company shall pay such
earn-out
for a period of three years from the acquisition date in cash and in restricted shares of the Company. The Company has recorded this transaction based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1,600 as customer relationships intangibles, $1,578 as goodwill and $416 as deferred tax liabilities associated with this acquisition.
On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the sellers of Vital Digital, Corp (“Vital”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Vital. The fair value of the purchase consideration for this transaction is determined as $7,894, with $3,400 in cash, 306,748 shares of Series A common stock with a fair value of $2,710, $1,206 in earnouts based on the operating performance of the acquired business after the closing date, and $578 in cash holdback. The Company has recorded this transaction based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $5,320 as customer relationship intangibles, $3,910 as goodwill, $1,385 as deferred tax liability and $49 as other net assets associated with this acquisition. Caivis, one of the Company’s related parties, owned 5% interest in Vital as of the effective date of this stock purchase agreement (refer to Note 13 for a description of relationship with Caivis).
The revenues and earnings from these acquisitions are not significant to the Company’s condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2021.
Goodwill acquired by the Company in these acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.
The pro forma results of the Company as if these acquisitions had taken place on the first day of 2020 were not materially different from the amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company has recorded the earn-outs related to these acquisitions based on the fair value determined on the date of the acquisition, however the Company believes that the actual payouts for these acquisitions could be different from such recorded fair values.
