NOTE 4. EQUITY INVESTMENT

In January 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Galileo Global Equity Advisors Inc. (“Galileo”), a privately held Toronto-based asset management firm, to purchase 50 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Galileo for $600,000. The closing date of the transaction was March 31, 2013. Galileo will continue to have overall control of the operations and investment management activities of Galileo, including its management of the Galileo Funds. After one year, Galileo may terminate the agreement or allow the Company to purchase an additional 15 percent of its shares. The Company is continuing to evaluate the transaction, and future changes to the amounts recorded could occur. There was no material basis difference between the cost of the Company’s investment in Galileo and the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets of Galileo. Frank Holmes, CEO, and Susan McGee, President and General Counsel, serve as directors of Galileo.

 

As the Company lacks control over the investee, the Company accounts for its interest in Galileo under the equity method with its share of Galileo’s profit or loss recognized in earnings. Included in other income for the three months ending September 30, 2013 is $7,188 of equity method losses of Galileo.
