Principal Activities and Organization

NOTE 1 – PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATION

(a) Principal activities

IDI, Inc. (the “Company” or “IDI”), formerly known as Tiger Media, Inc., is a holding company and, through its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”), is principally engaged in 1) the provision of data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (“ARM”) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery, and now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) regulated data, non-regulated data, and marketing and data analytics; and 2) the provision of advertising services in the out-of-home advertising industry.

(b) Organization

Organization - Tiger Media, Inc.

On October 30, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all the issued and outstanding shares and warrants of SearchMedia International Limited (“SearchMedia International”). The Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, whereby SearchMedia International was the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes and was deemed to be the accounting acquirer of SearchMedia Holdings Limited (“SearchMedia Holdings”). On December 14, 2012, SearchMedia Holdings changed its name to Tiger Media, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Tiger Media”).

Organization – TBO

The Best One, Inc. (“TBO”) is a holding company incorporated on September 22, 2014 in the State of Florida, which was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of operating businesses and valuable and proprietary technology assets across various industries.

On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data, LLC (“Interactive Data”), a Georgia limited liability company and Interactive Data became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TBO. Interactive Data is a data solutions provider, historically delivering data products and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (“ARM”) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery.

Organization – Acquisition of TBO

On March 21, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Tiger Media and TBO Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Media (“Merger Sub”), completed a merger (the “Merger”) with TBO, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 14, 2014, by and among Tiger Media, Merger Sub, TBO, and Derek Dubner, solely in his capacity as representative of the TBO shareholders.

Before the Merger, on March 19, 2015, Tiger Media effected a one-for-five reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”). The principal effect of the Reverse Split was to decrease the number of outstanding shares of each of Tiger Media’s ordinary shares. Except for de minimus adjustments for the treatment of fractional shares, the Reverse Split did not have any dilutive effect on Tiger Media shareholders and the relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares were not affected by the Reverse Split. In addition, the proportion of shares owned by shareholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance remained the same because the authorized number of shares were decreased in proportion to the Reverse Split from 1,000,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. The authorized number of preferred shares were not affected by the Reverse Split and remain at 10,000,000 preferred shares. Also before the Merger, on March 20, 2015, Tiger Media completed its domestication from the Cayman Islands to Delaware as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication and the Reverse Stock Split, on March 21, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), TBO merged into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Media.

 

On April 8, 2015, Merger Sub’s entity name was changed to IDI Holdings, LLC (“IDI Holdings”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On April 30, 2015, Tiger Media changed its name to IDI, Inc.

For accounting purposes, the Company recognized the Merger in accordance with ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company has been recognized as the accounting acquiree in the Merger, with IDI Holdings being the accounting acquirer, and the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the reporting periods from January 1, 2015 through March 21, 2015 being those of IDI Holdings, rather than those of the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods since March 22, 2015, the day after which the Merger was consummated, recognize Tiger Media and IDI Holdings as a consolidated group for accounting and reporting purposes, albeit with a carryover capital structure inherited from Tiger Media (attributable to the legal structure of the transaction).

As a result of the Merger, and although it was the Company’s intention to continue to operate and further develop its advertising business both in China and the United States as of the Effective Date, it is expected that the Company’s primary focus will shift going forward in the direction of the business of Interactive Data in the data fusion area, where the Company believes the opportunities for future growth are greater.
