Kenkoderm Acquisition

 

On December 1, 2023, the Company closed a transaction related to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 30, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Olympus Trading Company, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Seller”), whereby the Company purchased all assets related to the Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”).

 

Under the terms of the Kenkoderm acquisition, the Company paid the Seller a cash payment of $546,500. Additionally, the Company shall pay the Seller a cash earn-out of the same amount each quarter, payable in the subsequent month flowing quarter end, of $136,625. The cash earn-out can fluctuate higher or lower based on the quarterly results of the Kenkoderm business during 2024 according to the formula contained in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby were not subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations and warranties regarding the Seller and the Kenkoderm business and certain limited representations and warranties regarding the Company. The Purchase Agreement also contains indemnification provisions for the benefit of the Company and the Seller. Neither the Company nor the Seller shall be liable for more than the Purchase Price under the indemnification provisions except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. The Seller and the Seller’s President and owner agreed to 3-year non-compete provisions as part of the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

The provisional fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the Seller was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The Company accounted for the Kenkoderm acquisition as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $169 thousand. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been allocated to goodwill.
