Note 4. CPM Acquisition

On December 29, 2017, the Company completed the previously-announced CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Company issued 50 million shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in exchange for one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, equaling a value of $10,000,000. The remaining $26,000,000 of the purchase price consideration will be paid by the Company to NC 143 in the form of contingent Earn-Out payments based on the Company achieving certain future profitability targets for years after 2017. The effective date of the CPM Acquisition was December 31, 2017 (the “CPM Effective Date”).

The Company’s management engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to calculate the fair value of the Earn-Out liability. The Company recorded $19,244,543 as a contingent liability related to the fair value of the $26,000,000 Earn-Out liability at its fair value as of the CPM Effective Date, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s has determined the earnings threshold as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement were not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2018 financial performance.

As of December 31, 2018, the Earn-Out was re-measured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result,

the initial fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529. The Earn-Out liability was reduced by $5,663,014 with the offset reflected as “Change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration” on the Company’s 2018 Annual Report. The Company’s management will evaluate the estimated fair value of the Earn-Out liability each reporting period. See Note 2, “Fair Value Measurements.”

The CPM Purchase Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“CPM Post-Closing Adjustment”) for certain changes in CPM’s current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The CPM Post-Closing Adjustment was calculated to be $397,463 and was paid in cash on June 27, 2018, to NC 143, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
