Note 9 — Business Combination

 

Acquisition of Lab Society

 

On February 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lab Society, a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Michael S. Maibach Jr., as the Owner Representative thereunder, and each of the shareholders of Lab Society (collectively, the “Owners”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Lab Society. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company consummated the merger of Lab Society with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Lab Society Acquisition”).

 

The aggregate consideration for the Lab Society Acquisition consisted of: (a) $4.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash, and indebtedness of Lab Society at closing; (b) 2,128 shares of Common Stock (the “Buyer Shares”); and (c) the Earn-out Consideration (as defined below), to the extent earned.

 

The Company withheld 638 of the Buyer Shares issuable to the Owners (the “Holdback Lab Buyer Shares”) for the purpose of securing any post-closing adjustment owed to the Company and any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which the Company may be entitled under the Merger Agreement. The Holdback Lab Buyer Shares will be released following the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement includes customary post-closing adjustments, representations and warranties, and covenants of the parties. The Owners may become entitled to additional consideration with a value of up to $3.5 million based on the eligible net revenues achieved by the Lab Society business during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, of which 50% will be payable in cash and the remaining 50% will be payable by issuing shares of Common Stock. Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements may be found in Note 5 – Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily of professional fees, directly related to the acquisition, totaled approximately $38 and $66 thousand for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. All transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company has prepared purchase price allocations for the business combination with Lab Society on a preliminary basis. Changes to those allocations may occur as additional information becomes available during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

 

The following table sets forth the components and the allocation of the purchase price for the business combination:

 

(In thousands)    
Purchase price consideration    
Estimated closing proceeds  $4,002 
Transaction expenses   80 
Closing buyer shares   1,904 
Holdback buyer shares   816 
Earn-out consideration   1,420 
Estimated working capital adjustment   (255)
Fair value of total consideration transferred   7,967 
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired  $7,402 
      
Fair value allocation of purchase price     
Cash and cash equivalents  $565 
Accounts receivable   511 
Inventory   2,130 
Prepaid expenses and other current receivables   55 
Right–- of-use assets, net   304 
Property and equipment, net   177 
Prepaid and refundable taxes   194 
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities   (1,244)
Deferred revenue   (963)
Deferred tax liability   (237)
Finance lease liabilities, current   (36)
Finance lease liabilities, non-current   (35)
Operating lease liabilities, current   (112)
Operating lease liabilities, non-current   (192)
Acquired intangible assets   2,462 
Goodwill   4,388 
Total purchase price  $7,967 

 

Identified intangible assets consist of trade names, technology, and customer relationships. The fair value of intangible assets and the determination of their respective useful lives were made in accordance with ASC 805 and are outlined in the table below:

 

(In thousands)  Asset
Value
   Useful Life 
Identified intangible assets        
Trade names  $317   5 years 
Acquired developed technology   1,432   8 years 
Customer relationships   713   6 years 
Total identified intangible assets  $2,462     

 

The Company’s initial fair value estimates related to the various identified intangible assets of Lab Society were determined under various valuation approaches including the Income Approach, Relief-from-Royalty Method, and Discounted Cash Flow Method. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending, and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified a potential impairment triggering event associated with both a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization, as well as a second-quarter slowdown in the cannabis industry as a whole. Due to these factors, the Company deemed that there may be an impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets and accordingly performed interim testing to determine the proper fair value of its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2022. Based on its interim testing, the Company noted that the entire carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets should be impaired. Additional information regarding the Company’s interim testing on goodwill and intangible assets may be found in Note 8 – Intangible Assets, Net and Goodwill, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The amount of revenue of Lab Society included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date of February 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 was $3.1 million.

 

Acquisition of Precision and Cascade 

 

On September 29, 2021 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into a Plan of Merger and Equity Purchase Agreement, as amended by an amendment dated as of October 1, 2021 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), with Sinclair Scientific, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sinclair”), Mass2Media, LLC, Precision, a Michigan limited liability company; and each of the equity holders of Sinclair named therein (collectively, the “Sinclair Members”). On October 1, 2021, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (1) Sinclair transferred, to the Company, and the Company purchased (the “Interest Purchase”) from Sinclair, 100% of the equity interests of Cascade, a Delaware limited liability company, such that immediately after the consummation of such Interest Purchase, Cascade became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (2) Precision merged (the “Merger”) with and into a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Precision Extraction NewCo, LLC.

 

The aggregate consideration for the Interest Purchase and the Merger consisted of: (a) the sum of $30 million in cash, plus consideration payable to holders of outstanding Sinclair equity awards, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness, payable in connection with the Interest Purchase; (b) the number of shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, equal to the quotient of (i) $20.0 million divided by (ii) the volume weighted-average price per share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the Execution Date (the “VWAP Price”), issuable in connection with the Merger; and (c) the True-Up Buyer Shares, if any (as defined below), issuable in connection with the Merger.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes customary post-closing adjustments, representations and warranties and covenants of the parties. The Sinclair Members may become entitled to additional shares of Common Stock (the “True-Up Buyer Shares”) and cash (together with the True-Up Buyer Shares, the “Aggregate True-Up Payment) based on the eligible net revenues (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) achieved by the Cascade and Precision businesses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. However, in no event shall the aggregate purchase price paid by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, taking into account any Aggregate True-Up Payment in favor of the Sinclair Members, exceed $65.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration totaled $5.6 million based on Sinclair Members achieving certain revenue targets. Additional information regarding the Company’s contingent consideration arrangements may be found in Note 5 – Fair Value Measures and Note 20 – Subsequent Events, included elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Pure Purchase Agreement”) with PurePressure, LLC, a Colorado Limited liability company (“PurePressure”), and the members of PurePressure (collectively, the “Members”), Benjamin Britton as the Member Representative thereunder, and each of the Members.
