Business Combination

On March 13, 2024, Heidmar Inc. signed an agreement with Huwell Ship Management Limited for the acquisition of 100% shares of Landbridge Ship Management (HK) Limited (“LBSM”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong in 2018, for a total consideration of $0.8 million. LBSM provides technical management services to tanker and bulker vessels. Upon the acquisition, control was obtained of the company, whereby Heidmar Inc. expanded its operations to technical management services for individual vessels.

The Company performed an assessment, as defined under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and concluded that the acquisition of LBSM is an acquisition of a business. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Synergies and other benefits that are expected from the combination are considered in the measurement of goodwill as part of the consideration transferred. The goodwill arising from the acquisition mainly comprises the synergies expected by combining the knowledge of the commercial and the technical management operations of Heidmar Inc. and LBSM.

The following table summarizes the total consideration paid for LBSM and the allocation of purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, at the acquisition date:

*The technical license provides the Company with the right and opportunity to operate within the specific jurisdiction of Hong Kong. The license is issued by a relevant regulatory or certifying body and is necessary to meet industry-specific technical, safety, or operational standards required by local authorities.

Preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired was determined in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. Measurement period adjustments were recorded during the second half of 2024.

The previously recognized trademark, amounting to $171,000 was removed from identifiable intangible assets, as it did not meet the recognition criteria for an intangible asset. This adjustment was recognized as measurement period adjustment, resulting in an increase of $171,000 in the carrying value of goodwill. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of income.

As of December 31, 2024, an amount of $262,205 represents the outstanding purchase consideration, which will be settled in monthly installments until August 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2024, an amount of $132,258 was paid related to the acquisition installments, which included a finance cost of $9,307, relating to accretion of interest expense attributable to the acquisition installments payable and presented under “Finance costs” in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
