Reverse Merger

 

On October 8, 2020 (the “Closing Date”) the Company, Inno Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and the Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation headquartered in New York (“Unique”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into the Unique, with the Unique surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of the Unique in exchange for issuing Unique’s shareholders (the “Unique Shareholders”), pro-rata, an aggregate of 1,000,000 million shares of preferred stock, with certain Unique shareholders receiving 130,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock par value $0.001 per share, and certain Unique shareholders receiving of 870,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Immediately after the Merger was consummated, and further to the Agreement, certain affiliates of the Company cancelled a total of 45,606,489 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock held by them (the “Cancellation”). In consideration of the Cancellation of such shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock, Unique agreed to assume certain liabilities of the Company. As a result of the Merger and the Cancellation, the Unique Shareholders became the majority shareholders of the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, on October 8, 2020, the Company, Star Exploration Corporation, a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Innocap (the “Split-Off Subsidiary”), and Paul Tidwell, an individual in his capacity as the Split-Off Subsidiary purchaser, entered into a Split-Off Agreement (the “Split-Off Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Split-Off Agreement, the Company, as seller, in consideration of the Cancellation and the assignment and assumption of $797,000 of the Company’s liabilities, sold to Paul Tidwell all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Split-Off Subsidiary including and all assets related to the Company’s current business.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition involving only the exchange of equity. Unique is the accounting acquirer and the Company is the legal acquirer. In order to account for the acquisition, management closed the books of the Company on the Closing Date, closed all equity accounts to additional paid in capital and merged the balance sheets as of the Closing Date. Unique maintained its historical financial statements, only recasting the equity accounts to that of the Company. All assets and liabilities of the Company were spun off, except approximately $46,000 in liabilities as of the Closing Date assumed by the Company.

 

Because the transaction was between two operating companies, the consideration assumed by Unique to effectuate the Merger, approximately 2% of fully diluted capital structure post-merger, was fair valued utilizing the market capitalization of the Company immediately prior to the merger. The market capitalization prior to merger was approximately $1.2 million ($0.008 market price per share and 172,000,000 shares outstanding).

 

The Company consolidated Unique as of the closing date of the agreement, and the results of operations of the Company include that of Unique. The historical financial statements of the Company before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Unique before the Merger in all future filings with the SEC.

GAAP defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. GAAP requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. GAAP also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.

 

The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition:

(1)The goodwill acquired is primarily attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and significant synergies expected to arise after Unique’s acquisition of UL US Entities. Unique is assessing the amount of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes. For the six months ended November 30, 2020, the amount of goodwill deductible for income tax purposes was immaterial. The Company will continue to analyze the goodwill for deductibility over the 15-year life.

The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the considerations transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amounts used in computing the purchase price differ from the amounts in the purchase agreements due to fair value measurement conventions prescribed by accounting standards.

 

Unique consolidated the UL US Entities as of the closing date of the agreement, and the results of operations of Unique include that of UL US Entities.
