Note 3. Acquisitions

On July 7, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Calico, which held mining claims and the Grassy Mountain Gold Project in Oregon, USA. Upon closing of the transaction, Calico became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each issued and outstanding share of Calico common stock was converted into 0.07 shares of Paramount common stock.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as Calico is an exploration stage project, which requires that the total purchase price be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The purchase price and acquired assets and liabilities were as follows:

Common shares issued (7,171,163 at $2.12)	$	15,202,866
Transaction advisory fees and other acquisition costs		795,925
Total purchase price	$	15,998,791
Assets:
Cash	$	4,363
Receivables and other current assets		28,093
Mineral properties		20,785,728
		20,818,184
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		1,603,975
Deferred income taxes		3,215,418
		4,819,393
Net assets acquired	$	15,998,791

Pursuant to the acquisition of Calico, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $3,215,418. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determined that it would be able to utilize the benefit of its tax operating loss carryforwards and adjusted its valuation allowance to recognize the benefit of these previously unrecognized deferred tax assets and offset the deferred tax liability. Accordingly, the Company recognized a deferred tax recovery of $3,215,418 in the six month period ended December 31, 2016.
