Acquisition and Disposition Acquisition and Disposition
Since January 1, 2023, the Company has completed the following acquisition and disposition to achieve its business purposes as discussed in Note 1.
GTMR
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with GTMR (the "GTMR Acquisition"). The GTMR Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination whereby GTMR became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company acquired GTMR to expand its capabilities, increase market share, gain access to new contracts, and achieve cost efficiencies through synergies and economies of scale.
The following represents the assets and liabilities acquired in this acquisition:

The GTMR Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of the GTMR Acquisition, and historical and current market data. The excess of the purchase price over the total of the estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. To determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for GTMR, we engaged a third-party independent valuation specialist. Intangible assets, which are primarily comprised of customer relationships and backlog, were valued using the excess earnings discounted cash flow method. On the date of the GTMR Acquisition, the Company simultaneously factored $411,975 of the accounts receivable from GTMR to finance the GTMR Acquisition.
The Company paid $185,896 in transaction costs of GTMR, which was excluded from the purchase price, issued an accounts receivable note (the “Accounts Receivable Note”), and held back $350,000, the details of which have been discussed in amounts Due to Seller in Note 10, "Due to Seller and Contingent Earnout." As of September 30, 2024, the remaining balance under this note is $0.
During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date. The measurement period for the GTMR Acquisition closed as of March 22, 2024.

During the measurement period, the Company recorded several adjustments to goodwill as a result of GTMR's adoption of ASC 842, Leases, tax adjustments, and an update to the fair value of acquired furniture and equipment. These measurement period adjustments were subsequently identified as a result of the completion of third party accounting evaluation.

The Company also recorded a measurement period adjustment to goodwill as a result of finalizing the transaction price. The Company entered into the Accounts Receivable Note due to the sellers four months after the closing date of the transaction, subject to the adjustment of any net working capital deficiencies. This amount was determined to be $156,847.
The following table shows unaudited pro-forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as if the acquisition of GTMR had occurred on January 1, 2023. These unaudited pro forma results of operations are based on the historical financial statements of each of the companies.

MFSI
On September 11, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Lead-Risk Millenia, LLC (the "Buyer") for the sale of one of its subsidiaries, MFSI (the "MFSI Divestiture"). The stock purchase agreement, approved by the Board of Directors on September 13, 2024, was for the purchase and sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of MFSI, which became effective on September 16, 2024. The stock purchase agreement requires an initial cash payment of $15,000. Additionally, the Company will receive future consideration equal to 6% of all revenue generated by MFSI until September 30, 2029, or until total payments reach $705,000, whichever comes first. As part of the MFSI Divestiture, the Company retained all of MFSI's cash deposits and accounts receivable in excess of $150,000.
Management estimated the present value of future consideration to be received, recognizing short and long term components of a receivable, which we will accrete over time and reassess periodically. An 8.5% discount rate was applied to calculate the present value of the receivable, totaling $296,009 ("Anticipated Receivable"). The Company recorded a gain of $39,234 from the MFSI Divestiture. The balance of the Anticipated Receivable, accounts receivable in excess of $150,000, and any payments made by the Company on behalf of the Buyer, are reflected in Due from Buyer on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
After considering qualitative and quantitative aspects of MFSI and its sale relative to the Guidance of ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, Management concluded MFSI should not be reported or disclosed as a discontinued operation. Further, because MFSI represented less than 5% of the total revenue for the Company, and as such was immaterial to the Company's financial statements and pro forma financial statements are not required.
