Note 4 - Business Combinations

 

On June 6, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired the Fat Panda Group of Companies, Central Canada’s leading retailer and manufacturer of vaping products, holding a significant market share across Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. With 33 retail locations and a thriving e-commerce platform, the company offers a wide range of high-quality vape devices and e- liquids, including its own premium in-house line.

 

The purchase price was $12.3 million comprised of approximately $10.6 million in cash to the sellers, 39,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an agreed value of $0.3 million and seller notes totalling $1.4 million. A portion of the purchase price was funded by a short-term loan from a United States based lender in the amount of $4.0 million, which was due in six months (the “FP Loan”). In addition, $1.9 million has been placed in escrow to support post-closing adjustments, indemnity obligations, and employee-related matters. On December 4, 2025, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the FP Loan in full.

 

The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce, synergies expected from combining operations, and future growth opportunities.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and is based on the best estimate of management, which is subject to change within the measurement period.

During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments resulting from new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. These adjustments primarily related to updated valuations of working capital accounts, including accounts receivable. inventory, prepaid expenses, and accrued liabilities, as well as the fair value of the notes issued to the seller as part of the purchase consideration. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts recognized at the Acquisition Date to reflect these new measurements. The adjustments resulted in changes to certain current assets and liabilities and the fair value of notes issued as consideration. The cumulative impact of these adjustments was recorded as a decrease to goodwill, and prior-period comparative information has been revised as if the adjustments had been recognized at the Acquisition Date.

 

As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were a trade name. The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using variations of the income approach. Specifically, the relief from royalty method was utilized to estimate the fair value of the trade name. The valuation of intangible assets incorporates significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) and requires significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital.

 

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocations are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price and additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

 

The following table summarizes the acquired identifiable intangible assets, acquisition date estimated fair value and estimated useful lives:
