Acquisitions

(5) Acquisitions

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100% of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to

assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Any acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, the acquisition related cost were not significant to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
