Contingent Payments

 

On December 1, 2016, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of CCI. As part of the purchase price of the operating assets of CCI, there is a cash payment of $500,000 contingent upon a future offering and earn out payments for all sales of CCI and RGNP products sold via CCI sales channels for the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 calendar years. The estimated fair value of the contingent payments totaled $424,511 and was recognized as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 (Successor). During the year ended December 31, 2017 (Successor), ASK Gold and CCI each earned $41,534 of earn out payments for a total of $83,068. In addition, the Company paid $95,020 in reimbursement expenses (“Reimbursement Expenses”) that were the responsibility of CCI and will be applied against current and future earn out payments to CCI. The Company applied $41,534 of earn out payments owed to CCI against the Reimbursement Expenses for a net balance of $53,486 owed by CCI to the Company as of December 31, 2017 that is recorded in estimated fair value of contingent payments, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2017 (Successor), estimated fair value of contingent payments, net was $287,957.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
