DGSE operates six jewelry stores at both the retail and wholesale levels throughout the United States via its facilities in Texas and South Carolina.

CExchange helped retailers provide in-store trade-in programs designed to allow retail consumers to exchange their old technology for cash in minutes. The Company believes the acquisition of CExchange’s business fits well with ECHG’s existing core business of refurbishing and reusing electronics, particularly cellular telephones. Based on the terms of the purchase, ECHG has concluded the CExchange Transaction represents a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ECHG has determined that the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed, through the CExchange Transaction, have an approximate fair value due to the their carrying value. ECHG, through its subsidiaries, primarily buys electronic components from business and other organizations, such as school districts, for end-of-life recycling and resale, or to add life to electronic devices by data destruction and refurbishment for reuse. In addition, following the CExchange Transaction, ECHG also conducts such recycling and resale at the retail level. Echo focuses on end-of-life electronics recycling and sustainability and ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition, including compliance and data sanitization services. Teladvance operates as a value-added reseller by providing offerings and services to companies looking either to upgrade capabilities or dispose of equipment.
