BUSINESS COMBINATION

Effective March 31, 2013, the Company, through USCAN, purchased 50 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Galileo Global Equity Advisors, Inc., a privately held Toronto-based asset management firm, for $600,000 cash.

Effective June 1, 2014, the Company, through USCAN, completed its purchase of an additional 15 percent interest in Galileo from the company’s founder, Michael Waring, for $180,000 cash. This strategic investment brought USCAN’s ownership to 65 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Galileo, which represents a controlling interest of Galileo. Through Galileo, the Company expects to increase its presence in Canada. The non-controlling interest in this subsidiary is included in “non-controlling interest in subsidiaries” in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Frank Holmes, CEO, and Susan McGee, President and General Counsel, serve as directors of Galileo.

From March 31, 2013, to June 1, 2014, the Company accounted for its interest in Galileo under the equity method with its share of Galileo’s profit or loss recognized in earnings. $20,000 and $54,000 was included in other income in fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company accounted for the June 1, 2014, Galileo share purchase using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that the fair values of assets acquired, including an intangible asset, and liabilities assumed, along with the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary, be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the acquisition date.

Business combinations achieved in stages also must value prior investments at fair value. A $161,000 increase in fair value of the Company’s initial investment was recognized as a gain and included in investment income in fiscal year 2014.

The Company recognized a gain of $129,000 on the June 1, 2014, purchase since the fair value of the net assets acquired was greater than the fair value of consideration given. This gain was also included in investment income in fiscal 2014.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014, reflects the purchase price allocations based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in subsidiary. The table below presents the purchase price allocation as of the June 1, 2014, acquisition date:
