ASSET ACQUISITION

NOTE 3 – ASSET ACQUISITION

 

On December 15, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“VBF”), VBF Transport, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Transport”), and Iowa’s First, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“Iowa’s First”) (each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”). Transport and Iowa’s First were wholly-owned subsidiaries of VBF. The agreement called for the Company to purchase all of the tangible assets of VBF, the motor vehicles of Transport and the real property (together with all plants, buildings, structures, fixtures, fittings, systems and other improvements located on such real property) of Iowa’s First. The consideration was $10,000,000, consisting of $5,000,000 in cash, paid at closing on December 17, 2020, (ii) $3,000,000 payable in 36 months with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annuum, interest only payable quarterly on the first day of the quarter, with the remaining balance to be paid to VBF as a balloon payment on the maturity date, (“Promissory Note A”), and (iii) $2,000,000 payable in 48 months with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annuum, interest only payable quarterly on the first day of the quarter, with the remaining balance to be paid to VBF as a balloon payment on the maturity date (“Promissory Note B”). (Note 10)

 

The Company determined the asset acquisition did not qualify as a business combination as not only did the Company only acquire certain listed tangible assets, but VBF did not fall under the definition of a business in accordance with ASU 2017-01. VBF was an early-stage company that had not yet generated revenue, and it did not yet include an input and a substantive process that will afford the Company the ability to create an output. Additionally, the acquisition does not include an organized workforce. Instead, the assets acquired are to be used by the Company as a location in which to apply their own patented process and create their output, the production of shrimp.

 

The $10,136,000 consideration was allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair value:

 

Equipment   $ 7,015,000       69.2 %
Vehicles     202,000       2.0 %
Buildings     2,797,000       26.6 %
Land     122,000       1.2 %
    $ 10,136,000       100 %
