Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

BUSINESS ACQUISITION

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION

The Company accounted for the acquisitions as a business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). In accordance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of operations of the acquired businesses since the date of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from the acquisitions described below can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, cost synergies expected to be realized and a trained technical workforce.

In conjunction with acquisitions noted below, we used various valuation techniques to determine fair value of the assets acquired, with the primary techniques being discounted cash flow analysis, relief-from-royalty, a form of the multi-period excess earnings and the with-and-without valuation approaches, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to these valuation approaches require significant judgment including: (i) forecasted sales, growth rates and customer attrition rates, (ii) forecasted operating margins, (iii) royalty rates and discount rates used to present value future cash flows, (iv) the amount of synergies expected from the acquisition, (v) the economic useful life of assets and (vi) the evaluation of historical tax positions. In certain acquisitions, historical data is limited, therefore, we base our estimates and assumptions on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data.

On February 8, 2021 Applied UV, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) by and among the Company, SteriLumen, Inc., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”) and Akida Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired substantially all of the assets of the Seller and assumed certain of its current liabilities and contract obligations, as set forth in the APA (the “Acquisition”). In the Acquisition, the Purchaser acquired all the Seller’s assets and was assigned its contracts related to the manufacturer and sale of the Airocide™ system, originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, that uses a combination of UV-C and a proprietary, titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst that has applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings, and retail sectors.

The purchase price allocation presented above related to SciAir is preliminary. We are in the process of evaluating additional information necessary to finalize the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date including, but not limited to, post-closing adjustments to the working capital acquired including certain holdbacks, as well as the valuation and step-up on property, plant and equipment. The final fair value determination could result in material adjustments to the values presented in the preliminary purchase price allocation, including other intangible assets, goodwill and the related tax impact of such adjustments. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation by mid-2022.
