Note 15: Business Acquisition

On July 1, 2022, Alliance purchased the Assets and Liabilities of Think3Fold, LLC, a collectibles distribution company for no consideration. The transaction expanded and diversified the Company’s portfolio of products and enabled scale and fixed cost leverage.

The results of operations of the acquired entity have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since July 1, 2022. The Company recognized $1.0 million in acquisition related costs in the six months ended December 30, 2022, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income within transaction costs.

Think3Fold revenue and earnings included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2023, were $2.6 million and $13.2 million, and $0.4 million and $1.5 million respectively.

As part of the Think3Fold acquisition, a contingent consideration, or earn-out, arrangement was established. The contingent consideration is contingent upon the achievement of certain predefined performance milestones from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025. The fair value of the contingent consideration was zero as of March 31, 2024, and as of June 30, 2023. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be accounted for as an adjustment to the statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

The Think3Fold acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase of Think3Fold using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combination. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate consideration was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, in each case, based on their respective fair value as of the closing date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired (or net liabilities assumed) being allocated to intangible assets and goodwill.

Goodwill resulting from the Think3Fold acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. This non-deductibility arises from the intrinsic nature of the transaction and applicable tax regulations. The recognized goodwill associated with the Think3Fold acquisition primarily comprises expected synergies, since the acquisition is expected to generate synergies in various aspects, including operational efficiencies and revenue growth. These synergies are a significant component of recognized goodwill, as they are anticipated to enhance the overall value of the combined entity.
