NOTE 11 – Acquisition of Businesses:

Gifts By Design, Inc.

On January 29, 2021, the Company, through BAMKO, acquired substantially all of the assets of Gifts By Design, Inc. (“Gifts by Design”) of Seattle, Washington. Gifts by Design is a promotional products and branded merchandise agency that is well-established as a developer and supplier of corporate awards, incentives, and recognition programs for some of the world’s biggest brands. The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $6.0 million in cash at closing.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Gifts by Design based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

The following table presents the allocation of the total fair value of consideration transferred, as shown above, to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Gifts by Design based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the transaction (in thousands):

Accounts receivable	$	251
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		196
Property, plant and equipment		60
Identifiable intangible assets		3,673
Goodwill		2,417
Total assets	$	6,597
Accounts payable		199
Other current liabilities		372
Total liabilities	$	571

The Company recorded $3.7 million in identifiable intangibles at fair value, consisting of $2.5 million in acquired customer relationships and $1.2 million for the brand name. The intangible assets associated with the customer relationships are being amortized for seven years. The brand name is considered an indefinite-life asset and as such is not being amortized. The Company recognized amortization expense on these acquired intangible assets of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities.
