3. Business Combination Accounting

 

The Company accounted for the Business Combination of the Company, Pelican, Greenland Exploration and March GL under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and related guidance and determined that March GL is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the closing of the Business Combination reflect the historical financial statements of March GL, with March GL’s assets, liabilities and results of operations reflected at historical carrying values.

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Greenland, Pelican, Greenland Exploration and the related merger subsidiaries were treated as the acquired entities for financial reporting purposes. The transaction was treated as the equivalent of March GL issuing equity for the net assets of Greenland, Pelican and Greenland Exploration, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized.

 

Following the closing of the Business Combination, Greenland became the successor SEC registrant and publicly traded parent company. The condensed consolidated financial statements following the closing include the accounts of Greenland Energy Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Common shares and per-share amounts for periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred approximately $8.1 million of transaction costs directly attributable to the reverse recapitalization, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Transaction costs not directly attributable to the equity issuance or recapitalization were expensed as incurred.

 

Transaction costs directly attributable to the recapitalization were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital to the extent of proceeds received, while costs not directly attributable to the equity issuance or recapitalization were expensed as incurred.

 

The elements of the business combination as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity consist of:
