NOTE 4 — ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION

 

On May 23, 2017, the Company closed the Merger with Gold King. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and as consideration for the acquisition of Gold King, on the closing date, 2,446,433 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, were issued to holders of Gold King’s common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and certain incoming officers. In addition, 45,000.18 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), convertible into an aggregate of 4,500,180 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued to Copper King, 45,500.18 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued to Copper King upon closing and 4,500.01 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement and 4,523,589 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 452,359 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of Gold King’s Series C Preferred Stock. Additionally, 231,458 of the Company’s stock options were issued to the holders of Gold King’s outstanding stock options issued in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Keystone Project.

 

As a result of the Merger, for financial statement reporting purposes, the business combination between the Company and Gold King has been treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization with Gold King deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 805-10-55. At the time of the Merger, both the Company and Gold King have their own separate operating segments. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements after the Merger are those of the Gold King and are recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of Gold King which are recorded at historical cost.

 

The Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the date of the Merger and the results of operations of the Company are consolidated with results of operations of Gold King starting on the date of the Merger. The Company is deemed to have issued 1,204,667 shares of common stock which represents the outstanding common stock of the Company prior to the closing of the Merger. The Company accounted for the value under ASC 805-50-30-2 “Business Combinations” whereby if the consideration is not in the form of cash, the measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and thus more reliably measurable. The Company deemed that the fair value of the consideration given was $4.70 per share based on the quoted trading price on the date of the Merger amounting to $5,661,935 which is more clearly evident and more reliable measurement basis. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

As a result of the reverse merger, the total purchase consideration exceeded the net assets acquired. The Company recorded $6,094,760 of goodwill at the time of the merger. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

 

The net purchase price paid by the Company was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as follows:

 

Current assets (including cash of $255,555)   $ 3,063,059  
Other assets     45,984  
Goodwill     6,094,760  
         
Liabilities assumed (including a note payable – credit line of $1,096,504)     (3,541,868 )
Net purchase price   $ 5,661,935  

 

 During the six months ended October 31, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $6,094,760 as the Company determined that the carrying value of the goodwill is not recoverable. The Company has determined that if the business combination would have occurred on the first day of the reporting period there would not have been a material change to the continuing operations of the financial statements presented.

 

In June 2017, subsequent to the Merger, the Company decided to discontinue its memory product business. The Company sold the Dataram Memory business on October 13, 2017 for a purchase price of $900,000. The Company will focus its activities on its gold and precious metal exploration business. During the six months ended October 31, 2017, the Company has received net proceeds from the sale of Dataram Memory business of $326,404 after payment of fees related to the sale such as legal and commission expenses aggregating to $201,510. Following the payment of these related fees, the Company has reserved $167,342 for payment of obligations included in accrued liabilities and $204,744 for the payment of distribution payable and have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement as assets of discontinued operations of $372,086 as of October 31, 2017 as reflected in the table below.

 

During the six months ended October 31, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $245,256 which is included in the loss from discontinued operations as the Company has settled the distribution payable less than the liability originally estimated at $500,000. Consequently, the Company recorded distribution payable of $254,744 and has been included in liabilities of discontinued operations as of October 31, 2017. Additionally, during the six months ended October 31, 2017, the Company recognized gain from sale of discontinued operations of $102,023 related to the sale of the Dataram Memory business on October 13, 2017.
