The unaudited pro-forma supplemental information is based on estimates and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The supplemental unaudited pro-forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Company completed the acquisitions at the dates indicated, nor is it intended to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company as a result of the Purchase Agreement.

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of UMBRLA, Inc. Pursuant to Articles of Merger filed by the Company with the Nevada Secretary of State, which became effective upon filing on July 1, 2021. UMBRLA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of UMBRLA was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations.” The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were subject to change within the measurement period pending the finalization of a third-party valuation. The multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, was utilized to estimate the fair value of UMBRLA customer relationships and licenses. The relief-from-royalty method, an income approach, was utilized to estimate the fair value of UMBRLA trade name.

 

Consideration for the merger consisted of 191,772,781 shares of common stock issued on the acquisition date, 23,424,674 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in one year, and the assumption of all of UMBRLA’s stock options and warrants outstanding as of July 1, 2021.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $21.50 million of revenue and a net loss of $6.88 million from UMBRLA. In the view of management, goodwill reflects the future cash flow expectations for UMBRLA market position in the cannabis industry, synergies and the assembled workforce. Goodwill recorded for the UMBRLA transaction is non-deductible for tax purposes.

The full principal balance and all outstanding but unpaid interest is due and payable at the maturity date of August 4, 2022; provided that, if the Company consummates the first closing, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then the principal amount of the Deposit Note, but not the accrued interest, shall be deemed repaid, satisfied, or otherwise applied to the cash consideration paid for the equity of the Target and the Deposit Note shall be deemed satisfied.

The Second Deposit Note matures on September 1, 2022.

 

The full principal balance and all outstanding but unpaid interest is due and payable at the maturity date of September 1, 2022; provided that, if the Company consummates the first closing, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then the principal amount of the Second Deposit Note, but not the accrued interest, shall be deemed repaid, satisfied, or otherwise applied to the cash consideration paid for the equity of the Target and the Second Deposit Note shall be deemed satisfied.
