NOTE C—SWIVEL SECURE EUROPE, SA ACQUISITION

On March 8, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Swivel Secure based in Madrid, Spain, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement. The aggregate purchase price consisted of a base purchase price of $1.75 million, subject to closing adjustments based on the closing date working capital, indebtedness and unpaid transaction expenses, and an earn-out of $500,000. The earn-out was payable based on Swivel Secure generating $3,000,000 of revenue and $1,000,000 of operating profit during an earn-out period commencing on the closing date and ending on January 31, 2023, which was not attained. At the closing, the Company made a cash payment of $1.27 million and issued 14,948 shares of common stock of which 4,983 shares were held back by the Company to secure certain indemnification obligations under the stock purchase agreement. The shares of Company common stock were priced at $2.23, the contractual 20 day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the payment date as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The business combination has been accounted for as an acquisition and, in accordance with ASC 805. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The significant intangible asset identified in the purchase price allocation discussed above was Customer Relationships. To value the Customer Relationships, the Company utilized the Excess Earnings Method, which isolates the value of the specific intangible asset by discounting its income stream to present value.

The government loan was issued through BBVA Bank during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan bears interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum and is payable in monthly installments of approximately $11,900 inclusive of interest from May 2022 through April 2026. The installment payments have been paid monthly as per the schedule, as of the date of this report.

						Estimated useful
						life
		Amount				(in years)
Customer relationships		$	762,860			7
