Gramophone

On October 17, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, LiveXLive PR, Inc., acquired 100% of the equity interests of Gramophone for net consideration of $0.4 million consisting of 79,365 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $0.1 million net of a 25% discount for lack of marketability described below, contingent consideration with a fair value of $0.2 million comprised of shares held in escrow and a cash earnout, and cash of $0.2 million. The shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to a twelve-month lock-up period and remain subject to sales volume restrictions.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred:
Cash		$	150
Common stock			89
Contingent consideration			174
Total		$	413

Contingent consideration in the form of a cash earnout of $0.3 million will be paid to the seller of Gramophone if, during the period commencing June 1, 2021 and ending on May 31, 2022 (“First Year Target”), Gramophone reports GAAP revenues of $1.4 million and EBITDA (as defined in the purchase agreement) of $0.3 million. If the First Year Target is not met, the cash earnout will be paid to the seller of Gramophone if, during the period commencing June 1, 2022 and ending on May 31, 2023 (“Second Year Target”), Gramophone reports GAAP revenues of $2 million and EBITDA of $0.5 million. Based on their likelihood of achievement management’s current estimate of the value of the contingent consideration related to the cash earnout was valued at $0.2 million. The contingent consideration liability of $0.2 million is classified within Other Long-Term Liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2022 (see Note 15 – Other Long-Term Liabilities). The remaining contingent consideration included in the purchase price was not material and is included in Other Long-Term Liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022. There was no change in the contingent liability balance attributed to Gramophone during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Goodwill resulted from acquisition as it is intended to augment and diversify the Company’s reportable segments. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. As a result of the acquisition of the stock of Gramophone, the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Gramophone acquisition (in thousands):

If, during the period commencing after May 7, 2020 and ending on July 1, 2022, for five consecutive trading days the closing market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $5.00 per share, an additional aggregate payment of $3.0 million in cash shall be paid to the sellers of PodcastOne in accordance with their respective pro rata percentage within five business days of the second anniversary of the closing date (July 1, 2022). The fair value of this contingent consideration liability on the closing date of July 1, 2020 was estimated at $1.1 million using a Monte Carlo simulation and the significant unobservable input included a credit yield of 21.9%. During March 2021, the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $5.00 per share for the requisite five consecutive days. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company settled the contingent liability with the sellers for $0.4 million of cash and issued 414,137 shares with an accounting value of $0.4 million, therefore a gain of $2.2 million was recognized in other income during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 attributed to the settlement of the contingent consideration liability.
