Business Acquisition

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

Visava/Canary

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava, then a private Ontario, Canada corporation. Visava owns 100% of Canary.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Visava in exchange for the issuance of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and issued to the Visava shareholders, prorata Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Visava Warrants”) purchasing an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Visava Warrants. As a result of this transaction, Visava became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Visava owned approximately 46.27% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. The transaction was closed effective August 2, 2018. During the year ended, December 31, 2020, all of the Visava Warrants expired, none were exercised.

This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As of August 2, 2018, the fair value of the net liabilities was $275,353 and the purchase consideration was fair valued as $3,318,842, shown below, leading to a goodwill allocation of $3,594,195.

The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of acquisition using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary (December 31, 2022: the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $3,315,749 reducing the goodwill related to the Canary to $263,117). Only change in goodwill from 2022 to 2023 is due to exchange rate fluctuations.

During the quarter ended, March 31, 2025, all of the Visava Warrants expired, none were exercised.

Goodwill

The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilizes the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit,

determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to the statement of operations.
