Note 3. CPM Acquisition

On December 31, 2017 (the “CPM Effective Date”), the Company completed the CPM Acquisition pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Company was the legal acquirer, and, for accounting purposes, CPM was deemed to have acquired the Company in the CPM Acquisition. CPM is the successor entity and becomes the reporting entity which combines the Company with CPM as of the Change-in-Control Date, with the assets and liabilities of both companies combined at historical cost. Subsequent to the Change-in-Control Date, CPM and the Company operations are consolidated. (See Note 1, “Nature of Operations – Overview”)

Pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement the Company issued 50 million shares of its Common Stock, to NC 143, the former owner of CPM, 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 it’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (“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 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 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 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 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 Acquisition Agreement provided 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.
