  Note 3. Ventanas Solar Acquisition

 

On November 8, 2021, we announced that we entered into a purchase agreement with Ventanas Solar S.A. (“VS”) a Panama domiciled company that acts as an importer and distributor of the Company’s products in the Republic of Panama. VS is affiliated with family members of Jose M. Daes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Christian T. Daes, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company through ES acquired 95% of the shares of VS for $4.0 million, which were paid for through the capitalization of certain accounts receivable of ES from previous sales to VS. The transaction was consummated in December 2021 and is part of the Company’s continued strategy to vertically integrate its operations. The remaining 5% of VS was contributed to the Company in 2022 without any further consideration being paid.

 

The Company incurred expenses of acquisition related costs comprised of the valuation conducted by an independent investment bank and as well as accounting and legal due diligence fees which are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s results of operations.

 

The acquisition of VS was deemed to be a transaction between entities under common control through family members of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer who owned VS prior to acquisition. As a result, the assets and liabilities were transferred at the historical cost of VS, with prior periods retroactively adjusted to include the historical financial results of the acquired company for the period they were controlled by the previous owners of VS in the Company’s financial statements.

 

The consolidated financial statements contained in this document contain adjustments on prior year comparative period to account for consolidation of VS during 2020. The following adjustment were made to the beginning balance of the following accounts to include VS’s balances as of January 1, 2020:
