Acquisition of North South

 As disclosed in Note 1, on September 10, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of North South.  The Company acquired North South to expand its patent portfolio and continue its business plan of the monetization of its intellectual property.  The Company accounted for its acquisition of North South using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, include operations of the acquired business since September 10, 2013.

 

 The fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of North South was allocated to fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, with the resulting excess allocated to separately identifiable intangibles, and the remainder recorded as goodwill.  Goodwill recognized from the transactions mainly represented the expected operational synergies upon acquisition of the subsidiary and intangibles not qualifying for separate recognition. Goodwill is nondeductible for income tax purposes in the tax jurisdiction of the acquired business.

 

 The purchase price was allocated as follows:

 

Purchase Consideration:        
Value of common stock and convertible preferred stock issued to sellers   $ 5,510,749  
         
Tangible assets acquired:        
Cash     2,684,363  
Prepaid expenses     14,503  
Net tangible assets acquired     2,698,866  
         
Purchase consideration in excess of fair value of net tangible assets     2,811,883  
         
Allocated to:        
Patent portfolios     1,100,000  
Goodwill     1,711,883  
    $ -  

 

 The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of North South’s business and the results of a third party appraisal commissioned by management.
