4.  ACQUISTION:

 

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual who is a founder and a current stockholder. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand. The total purchase price was $2,500,000. The purchase price was paid in a $1,500,000 cash payment and the issuance of a senior subordinated note to the seller in the amount of $1,000,000. (Note 5)

 

The business essentially consisted of the investment in research and development of the technology, the patents applied for as a result of the research and development activities and certain distribution relationships that were in process, but not finalized as of the acquisition date.  Collectively, these investments constitute the in-process research and development we refer to as the “asphalt preservation and repair solution.” The Company capitalized $2,500,000 of in-process research and development related to this asphalt preservation and repair solution. As of October 1, 2012, in-process research and development is now classified as developed technology and amortized over its estimated useful life of 7 years. The initial estimated fair value of the in-process research and development was determined using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from the asset are estimated and discounted to its net present value at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return.   The Company performed its annual impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013, in October of 2013.  The Company used the Relief-from-Royalty method.  The Company believes that is the most appropriate method for valuing the developed technology as it is a revenue generating technology.  As of December 31, 2013, our developed technology intangible asset had a value of $2,053,572, net of accumulated amortization of $446,428.  Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $357,143 and $89,285, respectively.

 

Expected amortization expense for our developed technology for the next five years is as follows:

 

2014

$ 357,143

2015

$ 357,143

2016

$ 357,143

2017

$ 357,143

2018

$ 357,143

 

$ 1,785,715

 

In conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company granted 200,000 performance stock options to a founder of the Company with an exercise price of $0.40 per share and a term of 7 years. Following the effectiveness of the 7 for 1 stock split that was completed in October 2011, the 200,000 performance stock options were exchanged for 1,400,000 performance stock options with an exercise price of $0.057 per share.

 

The performance stock options will vest in full on the occurrence of any the following: (1) the Company achieves total revenue in the twelve month period ended April 2014 of $49,500,000; or (2) the Company achieves total revenue in the twelve month period ended April 2015 of $99,000,000. If the performance stock options do not vest per the aforementioned vesting schedule, the performance stock options will immediately terminate and expire.

 

The performance stock options are being accounted for as contingent consideration and were recognized at its estimated fair value at the acquisition date in the amount of $0.  In order to determine the fair value of the options granted, the Company prepared a forecast of the probability that the targets would be achieved, with a focus on the 2013 revenue given the uncertainty of forecasting revenue for years 2014 and 2015 given the Company’s development stage.  The Company prepared three scenarios only one of which resulted in the options vesting.  The Company’s forecasts indicated a 95% probability that the options would not vest and therefore would have no value.  Although the third scenario did result in the options vesting, as the probability was only 5%, the value associated with this scenario was immaterial.

 

During the fourth quarter of calendar year 2013, the Company reviewed and updated its assessment of the potential vesting of the performance stock options.  The Company determined it will not achieve revenues for the twelve month period ended April 14, 2014 of at least $49,500,000.  In addition, the Company does not believe there is a scenario where it will achieve total revenue in the twelve month period ended April 2015 of $99,000,000 and therefore there is still no value assigned to the performance stock options.
