ACQUISITION | NOTE 3 ACQUISITION On August 17, 2020, in order to further diversify its customer base and the industries in which it sells its products, the Company and Kablooe, Inc. (a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kablooe Design, Inc. (“Kablooe Design”) and its sole shareholder. Kablooe Design is an innovative medical and consumer design and development company whose clients include leading brands in medical devices. In consideration for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Kablooe Design, the Company: (i) paid $353,000 in cash; (ii) issued 300,000 shares of its common stock; (iii) agreed to pay up to an aggregate $500,000 in contingent earnout payments based on Kablooe meeting certain earnings milestones (as defined in the Agreement) over a five-year period; and (iv) agreed to make two additional $50,000 retention payments to Kablooe’s Chief Executive Officer on the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the acquisition based on his continued employment with Kablooe and the achievement of the earnings milestones (as defined in the Agreement). Additionally, in conjunction with this acquisition, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with Kablooe’s Chief Executive Officer and agreed to pay him a salary of $250,000 per year. At the date of acquisition, the consideration transferred consisted of cash, shares of Forward’s common stock, and contingent consideration based on the earnings performance of Kablooe over a five-year period. The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred consisted of the following:
Cash at closing (1) |  | $ | 353,000 |
Value of Forward's common stock (2) |  |  | 370,000 |
Fair value of contingent earnout consideration (3) |  |  | 90,000 |
|  | $ | 813,000 |
| (1) | Cash paid by Forward at closing.
| (2) | Forward issued 300,000 shares of its common stock valued at $1.23 per share, which represents the August 17, 2020 closing price of $1.37 per share, less an estimated 10% reduction in fair value related to restrictions that limit their marketability for a period of six months.
| (3) | Fair value of the contingent consideration is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. Contingent consideration is to be paid in cash only upon Kablooe meeting certain earnings milestones over a five-year period.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date:
Cash |  | $ | 31,000 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 96,000 |
Customer relationships (8 yr life) |  |  | 340,000 |
Trademark (15 yr life) |  |  | 110,000 |
Property and equipment |  |  | 9,000 |
Other assets |  |  | 9,000 |
Total identifiable assets acquired |  |  | 595,000 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (22,000 | )
Accrued liabilities |  |  | (135,000 | )
Deferred revenue |  |  | (46,000 | )
Debt |  |  | (170,000 | )
Total liabilities assumed |  |  | (373,000 | )
Net identifiable assets acquired |  |  | 222,000 |
Goodwill |  |  | 591,000 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 813,000 |
