NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION

 

On June 29, 2022, the Company, DatChat Patents I, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DatChat that was formed on June 23, 2022 (“Merger Sub I”), DatChat Patents II, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of DatChat that was formed on June 23, 2022 (“Merger Sub II”), and Avila Security Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Avila”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Avila in consideration of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the “Acquisition Shares”) of the Company’s common stock. These shares were valued at $1,090,000, or $1.09 per share, based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date. The acquisition included intellectual property rights in blockchain based digital rights management and object sharing technology, including encrypted WebRTC real-time video and audio streaming communications. Immediately following the merger, Merger Sub I was merged into Avila and Merger Sub I was dissolved and Avila was merged into Merger Sub II. Other than owning certain patents, Avila had no operations or no employees and was not considered a business.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the Merger Agreement and the business of Avila to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the Company acquired assets. No goodwill was recorded since the Merger Agreement was accounted for as an asset purchase. In accordance with ASC 805, the fair value of the assets acquired is based on either the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable. The Company used the fair value of the 1,000,000 common shares issued of $1,090,000 as the fair value of the assets acquired since this value was more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable than the fair value of the patents acquired.
