GOODWILL

NOTE 4. GOODWILL

 

Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized.

 

   June 30, 2026   December 31, 2025 
Boat Center, Inc (1)  $570,000   $570,000 
Apex Marine (2)   4,080,429    - 
Bellhart (3)   849,366    - 
Total  $5,499,795   $570,000 

 

(1)On July 22, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Boat Center, Inc. for total consideration of approximately $0.6 million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company did not recognize any separately identifiable intangible assets as the amounts were not material.

 

(2)On May 1, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Apex Marine, LLC, Apex Marine Sales, LLC, and Apex Marine Stuart, LLC (collectively, “Apex Marine”), a premier South Florida marine service, storage, and sales organization with four operating facilities. The total consideration transferred was approximately $6,149,350, consisting of (i) $1,200,000 in cash, (ii) 679,008 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,833,333, (iii) two promissory notes with aggregate principal amounts of approximately $2,966,667, and (iv) reimbursement of a deposit of $149,350.

 

(3)On May 22, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Bellhart Marine Group, LLC, along with its affiliated entities Bellhart Marine Services, LLC, Specialized Mechanical Services, LLC, and Specialized Mechanical Services, Inc. (collectively, “Bellhart”), a marine service, refit, and mechanical services platform. The aggregate purchase price was $750,000 in cash plus the assumption of specified seller liabilities of $170,000, for total consideration transferred of $920,000.

 

The Apex Marine acquisition represented an acquisition of a business and was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of Apex Marine’s seasoned “new boat” brokerage team, as well as expected synergies from combining operations, including expanded South Florida sales and service infrastructure and access to a broader international buyer network. Due to the existence of cumulative losses, no deferred taxes are recorded for the acquisition transaction. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15 year period.

 

 

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the Consideration.

(3)On May 22, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Bellhart Marine Group, LLC, along with its affiliated entities Bellhart Marine Services, LLC, Specialized Mechanical Services, LLC, and Specialized Mechanical Services, Inc. (collectively, “Bellhart”), a marine service, refit, and mechanical services platform. The aggregate purchase price was $750,000 in cash plus the assumption of specified seller liabilities of $170,000, for total consideration transferred of $920,000.

 

The Bellhart acquisition represented an acquisition of a business and was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from integrating Bellhart’s service operations, including the enhanced ability to efficiently source, recondition, and remarket inventory, supporting faster transaction cycles and improved capital efficiency, as well as the value of Bellhart’s assembled workforce. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Bellhart Marine Group, LLC, Bellhart Marine Services, LLC, and Specialized Mechanical Services, LLC is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes ratably over a 15-year period pursuant to Section 197 of the Internal Revenue Code. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Specialized Mechanical Services, Inc. is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, as the transaction was not treated as an asset acquisition for federal income tax purposes and no election under Section 338(h)(10) or Section 336(e) of the Internal Revenue Code was made with respect to this entity.

Revenues  $100,899,861    $ 79,981,400  
(Loss) income from operations   (4,916,497)     1,631,898  
Net (loss) income attributed to NextBoat Inc.   (7,242,296)     198,451

Pro forma financial information is presented as if the operations of the acquisitions had been included in the consolidated results of the Company since January 1, 2025 and gives effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the acquisitions, including adjustments to:

 

a)Include an adjustment to interest expense of $49,333 and $74,000 related to the promissory notes issued at closing for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
b)Include the common stock issued on January 1, 2025, in connection with the Apex acquisition.
c)No pro forma income tax adjustment has been recorded. The combined entity generated a pre-tax loss in each pro forma period presented, and Apex Marine was historically a pass-through limited liability company that was not subject to entity-level income tax for United States federal income tax purposes. Following the acquisition, Apex Marine’s results would have been included in NextBoat’s consolidated income tax return. Given NextBoat’s history of cumulative losses and the full valuation allowance maintained against its deferred tax assets, no income tax benefit has been recognized in the pro forma financial information. The blended statutory rate of 26.5% that would otherwise apply to the combined company is not necessarily indicative of its effective income tax rate.
d)No pro forma adjustments have been recorded in respect of the Bellhart Acquisition, as no such adjustments were material.
