(3) ASSET ACQUISITION


On October 5, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Trailside Entertainment Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Trailside Entertainment” or “Stump! Trivia”), in connection with the Company’s purchase of certain Trailside Entertainment assets used in the conduct of Trailside Entertainment’s business of providing live hosted trivia events at hospitality venues (the “Acquired Assets”). The asset purchase was also consummated on October 5, 2011.


Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, in consideration for the Acquired Assets, the Company paid to Trailside Entertainment the sum of $250,000 in cash, $200,000 of which was paid on the closing date of the acquisition.  The Company will hold back $50,000 (the “Holdback Amount”) of the purchase price for a period of six months to secure payment of the Company’s right to indemnification under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The $50,000 Holdback Amount is recorded as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012. In April 2012, the Company delivered to Trailside Entertainment the $50,000 Holdback Amount in full.


In addition to the $250,000 cash payment, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration to Trailside Entertainment upon achieving certain gross profit objectives relating to the acquired business (as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement) for fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014.  The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.


In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with two principal executives of Trailside Entertainment, Robert D. Carney and George Groccia, each of whom serve as a Vice President of the Company.  The Company will use the acquired assets to complement its existing social entertainment offerings.


The Company accounted for the acquisition pursuant to ASC No. 805, Business Combinations.  Accordingly, it recorded net assets and liabilities acquired at their fair values.  As of December 31, 2011, the final purchase price allocation is as follows:


Intangible assets - customer relationships   $ 435,000  
Total assets     435,000  
Earnout liability     (185,000 )
Total liabilities     (185,000 )
Purchase price allocated to assets and liabilities acquired   $ 250,000  

The purchase price may be increased or decreased if certain gross profit objectives relating to the acquired business deviate from the Company’s estimates in calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014. In that event, the earnout liability will be adjusted and the change will be reflected in current earnings in the period that the adjustment becomes necessary.


The Company incurred approximately $51,000 in acquisition-related expenses, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2011.
