2022 Acquisitions
On October 18, 2021, we and certain of our subsidiaries completed our acquisition of eleven gentlemen’s clubs, six related real estate properties, and associated intellectual property for a total agreed acquisition price of $88.0 million (with a total consideration preliminary fair value of $87.9 million based on the Company’s stock price at acquisition date and discounted due to the lock-up period, with interest rates on promissory notes reflective of market yields). We used the Finnerty Model to estimate the discount on stock marketability. The acquisition was structured by entering into nine asset purchase agreements, which allowed the Company to acquire from each club all of the tangible and intangible assets and personal property in that business except certain excluded assets, and two stock purchase agreements, where a newly formed subsidiary purchased 100% of the capital stock of two club-owning entities. Along with the asset and stock purchase agreements, the Company also entered into a real estate purchase and sale agreement for six real estate properties,
and an intellectual property purchase agreement for substantially all of the intellectual property used in the adult entertainment establishment business owned and operated by the sellers. The acquisition gives the Company presence in four additional states. We paid for the acquisition with $36.8 million in cash, $21.2 million in four seller-financed notes (see Note 9), and 500,000 shares of our common stock.
The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows (in thousands):
Cash$36,800 
Notes payable21,200 
Common stock29,933 
Total consideration fair value$87,933 
We recognized the assets and liabilities for this acquisition based on our estimates of their acquisition date fair values, all in our Nightclubs reportable segment. We have not finalized our valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in this transaction. As of the release of this report, the fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets are provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those assets. Based on the allocation of the preliminary fair value of the acquisition price, measurement period adjustments, and subject to any working capital adjustments, the amount of goodwill is estimated at $15.4 million. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price fair value over the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which is essentially the forward earnings potential of the acquired entities. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. Approximately $7.1 million of the recognized goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The following is our preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition price (in thousands) as of October 18, 2021:

Current assets$386 
Property and equipment19,273 
Licenses47,390 
Tradenames6,934 
Leases acquired in-place261 
Deferred tax liability(1,741)
Total net assets acquired72,503 
Goodwill15,430 
Acquisition price fair value$87,933 
Licenses and tradenames, except for those associated with certain leased locations, will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment.
The Company entered into leases with third parties for certain acquired clubs where the real estate was not part of the acquisition. See Note 20.
In connection with this acquisition, we incurred acquisition-related expenses of approximately $414,000, of which $173,000 was recognized in fiscal 2021 and $241,000 was recognized in fiscal 2022, and in both periods included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. We recorded $1.8 million in measurement period adjustments related to amortization of definite-lived intangibles and debt discount during fiscal 2022.
From the date of acquisition until September 30, 2022, the eleven acquired clubs contributed revenues of $35.4 million and income from operations of $12.5 million, which are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2022. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company
and the eleven acquired clubs and related assets as though the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2021 (in thousands, except per share amount and number of shares):
20222021
Pro forma revenues$269,347 $217,996 
Pro forma net income attributable to RCIHH common stockholders$45,623 $25,290 
Pro forma earnings per share - basic and diluted$4.86 $2.66 
Pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic and diluted9,383,4459,504,744
The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects material, nonrecurring adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition including acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, and any related tax effects. Since we do not have a final valuation of the assets that we acquired yet, the unaudited pro forma financial information only includes preliminary adjustments related to changes in recognized expenses caused by the fair value of assets acquired, such as depreciation and amortization and related tax effects. Pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share include the impact of acquisition-related expenses and interest expense related to the 28 private lender group notes and 4 seller-financed notes in the acquisition as if they were incurred as of the first day of fiscal 2021. Pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes the impact of 500,000 shares of our common stock issued as partial consideration for the acquisition.
On November 8, 2021, the Company acquired a club and related real estate in Newburgh, New York for a total preliminary purchase price of $3.5 million, of which $2.5 million was paid in cash at closing and $1.0 million through a seller-financed 7-year promissory note with an interest rate of 4.0% per annum. The $3.5 million acquisition price is preliminarily allocated $2.1 million to real estate, $200,000 to tangible assets, and $1.2 million to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The note is payable $13,669 per month, including principal and interest. See Note 9. The Company incurred approximately $21,000 of acquisition-related costs for this acquisition, of which $11,000 was incurred in fiscal 2021 and $10,000 was incurred in fiscal 2022, both of which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. From the date of acquisition until September 30, 2022, the acquired club contributed revenues of $1.6 million and income from operations of $276,000, which are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2022. The Company is not providing supplemental pro forma disclosures to this acquisition as it does not materially contribute to the consolidated operations of the Company.
On December 30, 2021, the Company acquired the real estate of one of its clubs in South Florida, which the Company previously leased, for $7.0 million in an all-cash purchase. At closing, the Company wrote off the balance of its operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liability related to the discontinued lease, both of which amounted to $5.9 million.
On March 1, 2022, the Company acquired real estate in Stafford, Texas for $3.5 million for a future Bombshells location. The Company secured a $2.6 million loan in relation to the purchase. See Note 9.
On March 1, 2022, the Company acquired real estate in Lubbock, Texas for $400,000 to move one of our existing clubs due to eminent domain on the current location. See 2023 Disposition below.
On May 2, 2022, the Company completed an acquisition of a club in Miami, Florida for a total acquisition price of $16.0 million. The acquisition price includes $3.0 million for the real estate property covered in a stock purchase agreement payable in cash at closing, and $13.0 million for the adult entertainment business covered in a separate stock purchase agreement payable as follows: (1) $2.0 million in cash at closing; (2) $6.0 million under a 10% three-year promissory note payable in 35 equal monthly payments of $79,290 in principal and interest based on a ten-year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment for the remaining principal plus accrued interest due at maturity; and (3) $5.0 million under a 10% ten-year interest-only promissory note payable in 119 equal monthly payments of $41,667 in interest, with a balloon payment of the total $5.0 million in principal plus accrued interest due at maturity. The Company
acquired 100% of the capital stock of the acquired companies in each of the stock purchase agreements mentioned above. The $5.0 million promissory note may be earlier canceled if there are any regulatory changes that would prohibit the business from operating as an adult entertainment establishment within ten years of the closing date of the stock purchase agreement. Based on recent renewals of licenses of similar businesses in the region where the club operates, the Company believes that the probability of any changes to the regulatory environment is low as of the reporting date and would not materially impact the fair value of the debt.
We recognized the assets and liabilities for this acquisition based on our estimates of their acquisition date fair values, all in our Nightclubs reportable segment. We have not finalized our valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in this transaction. As of the release of this report, the fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and the fair value of the contingent debt consideration are provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those items. Based on the allocation of the preliminary fair value of the acquisition price, measurement period adjustments, and subject to any working capital adjustments, the amount of goodwill is estimated to be $6.8 million. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price fair value over the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which is essentially the forward earnings potential of the acquired entities. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. The recognized goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The following is our preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition price (in thousands) as of May 2, 2022:
Current assets$172

The $1.8 million acquisition price is preliminarily allocated $11,000 to current assets, $1.1 million to property and equipment, and $684,000 to licenses. From the date of acquisition until September 30, 2022, the acquired club contributed very minimal revenues and income from operations.

The total preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred is $23.4 million, which includes a discount on the $10.0 million promissory note to reflect market participant yield expectations.
We recognized the assets and liabilities for this acquisition based on our estimates of their acquisition date fair values, all in our Nightclubs reportable segment. We have not finalized our valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in this transaction. As of the release of this report, the fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and the fair value of the contingent debt consideration are provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those items. Based on the allocation of the preliminary fair value of the acquisition price, measurement period adjustments, and subject to any working capital adjustments, the amount of goodwill is estimated to be $5.6 million.
