Note 2. Business Combination

On August 31, 2015 the Company, at the time named Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc., completed its merger with SmartFinancial, Inc (“Legacy SmartFinancial”), after which the Company changed its name to SmartFinancial, Inc. While Cornerstone was the acquiring entity for legal purposes, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 805-10 Business Combinations. Under this guidance, for accounting purposes, Legacy SmartFinancial is considered the acquirer in the merger, and as a result the historical financial statements of the combined entity are the historical financial statements of Legacy SmartFinancial.

The merger was effected by the issuance of shares of Cornerstone stock to shareholders of Legacy SmartFinancial. The assets and liabilities of Cornerstone as of the effective date of the merger were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and combined with those of Legacy SmartFinancial. The excess of the purchase price over the net estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities was allocated to identifiable intangible assets with the remaining excess allocated to goodwill.

 

The following table details the preliminary estimated financial impact of the merger, including the calculation of the purchase price, the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of net assets assumed, and goodwill recognized:
