Business Combination with LBSM

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:

Business Combination with MGO

On February 19, 2025, the Business Combination (Note 1) was consummated and HMR became the going-forward public company and the direct parent company of both HMI and MGO. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 805, this transaction is accounted for as a business acquisition, with Heidmar Inc. being the accounting acquirer and MGO the acquired entity since MGO was considered as a business. The Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Heidmar Inc. issuing stock to acquire the net assets of MGO, (ii) the net assets, including goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of MGO recorded based upon their fair values, at the time of closing. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the intrinsic value of the listing on the stock exchange through the acquisition of MGO.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, HMR will also issue to each of the Heidmar Shareholders additional 2,606,338 common shares (the "Earnout Shares") if the Company achieves any one of the following financial milestones during the 12 months ending December 31, 2025: revenue, EBITDA or Net Income equals or exceeds $45 million, $30 million or $25 million, respectively. If the Company meets any of these milestones, HMR will also issue 141,346 common shares to MGO’s financial advisor in the Business Combination. The fair value of the Earnout Shares to be issued to the Heidmar Shareholders and to MGO’s financial advisor, if the specified thresholds are met, has been classified within equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40 since the Earnout Shares are indexed to the HMR’s share and the Company controls the ability to settle these instruments in shares. The initial fair value of the Earnout Shares of Heidmar Shareholders’ amounted to $3,917,767 and was recognized within expenses under “Other (expenses)/ income, net” in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations, since the Earnout Shares will not be issued pro rata to all the shareholders of the Company, and the offsetting entry increased stockholders’ equity, while the initial fair value of the Earnout Shares of MGO’s financial advisor amounting to $103,429 has been included within the purchase price consideration as contingent consideration in accordance with ASC 805, and has been classified within stockholders’ equity.

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

(1) The fair value of the purchase price consideration of $14,258,460 is based on the following:

At the closing of the Business Combination, HMR issued 3,212,368 common shares to the former MGO stockholders, with fair value of $9,829,838, based on a total equity valuation of the Company’s equity of $175 million or $3.06 per share on acquisition date. The acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s equity was considered a more reliable measure than the market price of MGO common stock on that date and was determined using a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and a Comparable Public Company Analysis. A weighted average cost of capital of 12% and a long-term growth rate of 2% were used in the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and the market multiple of Enterprise Value (“EV”)/EBITDA equal to 10.0 was used based on the Comparable Public Company Analysis.
At the closing of the Business Combination, HMR issued 1,413,462 common shares to MGO’s financial advisor as compensation under its advisory agreement with MGO. The fair value of these shares was $4,325,193, based on the per-share valuation of $3.06 per share as determined through the Company’s equity valuation discussed above.
The estimated number of the Earnout shares that will be issued to MGO’s financial advisor if certain performance conditions are met amounted to 141,346, with a fair value of $103,429.

* The trademark granted the Company the use of MGO’s brand name in the US and to the digital commerce business.

Goodwill and trademark were written off upon the sale of American Liberty (Note 14).
