On
January 18, 2018,
the Company recorded intangible assets of
$1,850,000
and goodwill of
$2,603,688
in connection with the acquisition of Genasys, as described in Note
4,
Acquisition. These intangible assets and goodwill are translated from Euros to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date. Intangible assets, net of amortization, were
$1,557,346
and goodwill was

The goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Genasys is due to combining the mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities with existing LRAD products for enhanced offerings and the skill level of the workforce. The Company will continue to analyze the transaction and refine its calculation, as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Subsequent to the measurement period, the Company will periodically review goodwill for impairment in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
