NOTE 21. COUNTRY STAMPEDE ACQUISITION

On March 1, 2024, Kustom 440, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with JC Entertainment, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“JC Entertainment”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Kustom 440 acquired certain assets associated with a music entertainment event (“Country Stampede”), including all intellectual property arising out of and relating to Country Stampede (“Country Stampede Intellectual Property”) and certain contracts in which JC Entertainment is a party to host and operate the 2024 Country Stampede (the “Assumed Contracts”, and together with the Country Stampede Intellectual Property, the “Purchased Assets”).

As consideration for acquiring the Purchased Assets, Kustom 440 paid JC Entertainment the aggregate purchase price amount $542,959, with the sum of $400,000 paid at the time of closing (“Closing”), and the remainder to be paid on or before thirty days from the time of Closing. Kustom 440 shall receive a credit for all non-refunded festival ticket sales for the 2024 Country Stampede to be calculated immediately prior to Closing, and JC Entertainment shall be entitled to keep all ticket sale proceeds made and/or received prior to Closing. Kustom 440 shall be obligated, to the extent a refund is sought after Closing, to provide such refund, if appropriate, to the customer requesting a refund, and shall indemnify and hold harmless JC Entertainment from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, suits, or the like relating to such refund request.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method and that the Company has early adopted the amendments of Regulation S-X dated May 21, 2020 and has concluded that this acquisition was not significant. Accordingly, the presentation of the assets acquired, historical financial statements under Rule 3-05 and related pro forma information under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, respectively, are not required to be presented. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of the Country Stampede Acquisition has been allocated to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the time of the Country Stampede Acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements. The Country Stampede Acquisition was structured as an asset purchase; however the parties agreed to coordinate the election to invoke IRS Section 338(h)(10) relative to this transaction for tax purposes. Therefore, the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized over 15 years for income tax filing purposes. Likewise, the other acquired assets were stepped up to fair value and is deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

The purchase price of the Country Stampede Acquisition was allocated to tangible assets, goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the time of the acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of these identifiable intangible assets. The Company has finalized the estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Country Stampede Acquisition which are as follows:

During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date.
