Effective January 31, 2021, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all assets of RLJ Talent Consulting, Inc., d/b/a Scouted, (“Scouted”) (the “Scouted Asset Purchase”). As consideration for the Scouted Asset Purchase, Scouted shareholders are entitled to a total of 224,163 shares of our restricted Common Stock (valued at $1,625,183 based on a $7.25 per share acquisition date price), of which 33,151 shares of stock will be held in reserve and are recorded as contingent consideration, a current liability in the accompanying financial statements, and an additional amount of $180,000 in cash consideration for a total purchase price of approximately $1.8 million. The Scouted Asset Purchase will be accounted for as a business acquisition. The assets acquired in the Scouted Asset Purchase consist primarily of sales and client relationships, contracts, intellectual property, partnership and vendor agreements and certain other assets (the “Scouted Assets”), along with a de minimis amount of other assets. The Company will complete the purchase price allocation of the $1.8 million for the acquired intangible assets during 2021. The Company is utilizing the Scouted Assets to expand its video hiring solutions and curated talent solutions, through its Recruiting Solutions subsidiary. 

 

The acquisition is accounted for by the Company in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and pushdown accounting is applied to record the fair value of the assets acquired on Recruiting Solutions. Under this method, the purchase price is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the amount paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill.

 

The following is a summary of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

 

Intangible assets, including sales and client relationships, contracts, intellectual property, partnership and vendor agreements and certain other assets  $1,805,183 
   $1,805,183 

 

The Company is in the process of completing its accounting and valuations of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and, accordingly, the estimated fair values of assets acquired and the allocation of purchase price noted above is provisional pending the final valuations which will not exceed one year in accordance with ASC 805.
