NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION

On January 10, 2012, the Company, through a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, EVT, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Moda for Friends LLC (the “Seller”) and purchased certain intangible assets that include a contractual-related agreement, purchased customer list, developed technologies and trademarks (the “Acquired Intangible Assets”) owned by the Seller for a total purchase price of $600,000 plus transaction costs of $11,000. The Company paid the purchase price through the issuance of 285,714 shares of its Common Stock, with each share being valued at $2.10 (the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the consummation of the transaction). The Company completed the asset acquisition because it would facilitate the launch and operation of its own flash sales business.

At December 31, 2012, the Acquired Intangible Assets were deemed to be impaired and the fair value was determined to be zero (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) due to the Company’s potential inability to meet its obligations under the terms and conditions of the contract given the Company’s current limited financial resources.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $383,000 of impairment loss in total amortization expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the Acquired Intangible Assets.
