NOTE 7: BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

A. Cortex Acquisition

 

On October 13, 2021, Gix Media acquired 70% (on a fully diluted basis) of the shares of Cortex (the “Cortex Transaction”), a private company operating in the field of online media and advertising. In consideration for the Cortex Transaction, Gix Media paid NIS 35 million in cash (approximately $11 million). The Cortex Transaction was financed by Gix Media’s existing cash balances and substantially by debt through a bank financing in the aggregate amount of $9.5 million, that consists of a line of credit of up to $3.5 million and a long-term loan of $6 million (see note 10).

 

On January 23, 2023, Gix Media acquired an additional 10% of Cortex, increasing its holdings to 80% of the share capital of Cortex in consideration for $2.6 million (the “Subsequent Purchase”). The Subsequent Purchase was financed by Gix Media’s existing cash balances and by a long-term bank loan received on January 17, 2023, in the amount of $1.5 million (see note 10).

 

The Subsequent Purchase was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling interests in the Company’s statement of changes in shareholders equity for the year ended December 31, 2023.

B. Reorganization Transaction

 

On September 19, 2022, the Reorganization Transaction (see note 1.B) was consummated and as a result the former holders of Gix Media Shares, who previously held a controlling interest in the Company, retained a controlling interest in the Company and additionally, Gix Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As the Company and Gix Media were both consolidated by the Parent Company and the Ultimate Parent, before and after the Closing Date, the Reorganization Transaction was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control.

 

Accordingly, the historical cost of Gix Media’s assets and liabilities as of March 1, 2022, was determined in the allocation of the purchase price between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Ultimate Parent as of March 1, 2022.

 

The difference between the cost basis of the assets and liabilities of Gix Media in the books of the Ultimate Parent and the cost basis of the assets and liabilities of Gix Media in the books of the Parent Company, as of March 1, 2022, was recorded as an Adjustment to Ultimate Parent’s Carrying Values in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

The purchase price has been allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The intangible assets identified in the acquisition were technology and customer relations.

 

The estimation of the fair value of these intangible assets was determined using the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. The fair value of the non-controlling interests was derived from the valuation of 100% Cortex’s shares, in which Gix Media had an interest of 70%.

 

The estimated useful lives for the acquired technology and customer relations associated with the Cortex Transaction are 6 and 7 years, respectively. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

Trade receivables, other accounts receivables, accounts payables, short-term loan and accrued expenses and other current liabilities were estimated to have fair values that approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Long term loans were estimated to have fair values that approximate their carrying values given that their contractual interest approximates prevailing market interest rates. Accordingly, no adjustment to Ultimate Parent’s carrying values has been recorded in their regard as of March 1, 2022.
