2. ACQUISITIONS 

Reverse Merger

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

In connection with the Merger, on October 8, 2020, Innocap Inc., 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, Innocap Inc., as seller, in consideration of the Cancellation and the assignment and assumption of $797,000 of Innocap Inc.’s liabilities, sold to Paul Tidwell all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Split-Off Subsidiary including and all assets related to Innocap Inc.’s current business.

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

Because the transaction was between two operating companies, the consideration assumed by UL HI to effectuate the Merger, approximately 2% of fully diluted capital structure post-merger, was fair valued utilizing the market capitalization of Innocap Inc. 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).

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

On January 11, 2021, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State of Nevada to change the Company’s name to Unique Logistics International, Inc.(the “Company” or “Unique”). See Note 1.

The following presents the unaudited pro-forma combined results of operations of Innocap Inc. with UL HI assuming if the entities were combined on June 1, 2019 compared with the actual unaudited results of the Company.

The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions been completed as of June 1, 2019 or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods.

In connection with the UL HK Transaction, the UL HI also entered into a Consulting Services Agreement for a term of three years with Great Eagle Freight Limited (“GEFL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of UL HK.

In connection with the UL ATL Transaction, UL HI purchased from the minority shareholder, the remaining forty percent (40%) of the UL ATL Membership Interests, for the following consideration transferred: (i) US $2,819,000, which was paid in accordance with the following: (a) $994,000 in cash; and (b) $1,825,000 through subordinated, non-interest bearing, promissory note with a maturity of three years issued in favor of the minority shareholder.

The UL NY Agreement has an initial term of approximately three years, and automatically renews for successive consecutive one-year period terms, unless either party provides notice to the other party as provided in the UL NY Employment Agreement.

In addition, UL HI paid $239,350 of closing costs for legal, accounting and other professional fees which were expensed during the period ended May 31, 2020.

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:

The goodwill acquired is primarily attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and significant synergies expected to arise after UL HI’s acquisition of UL US Entities. UL HI is assessing the amount of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes. For the nine months ended February 28, 2021, 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. See Note 4.

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed. Our preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed are based on information that was available as of the Acquisition Date, and we are continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the Acquisition Date. During the quarter, we refined our valuation models to reflect changes in assumptions related to certain liabilities assumed.

Other intangible assets and their amortization periods are as follows:

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.

UL HI 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.
