805-10-55-3A
A business
is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing
a return in the form of dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members, or participants
1.
FL is an active premier fighting sports promotion company which specializes in organizing
combat sports events and selling media rights
2.
FL carries a licence issued by the Nevada State Athletic Commission to allow the company in the state of Nevada to produce live Kickboxing,
Boxing, and mixed martial arts (“MMA”) shows, notably in Las Vegas.
FL
should be considered as a business as it is made up of an integrated set of activities and assets (Nevada license, live show operating
system, assets, TV and sound system) that will be managed to generate profit and maximise investment return for shareholders.
805-10-55-4
A business
consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs. Although
businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set to qualify as a business. The three elements of a
business are defined as follows:
a.
Input. Any economic resource that creates, or has the ability to contribute to the creation of, outputs when one or more processes
are applied to it.
b.
Process. Any system, standard, protocol, convention, or rule that when applied to an input or inputs, creates or has the ability
to contribute to the creation of outputs.
c.
Output. The result of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that provide goods or services to customers, investment income
(such as dividends or interest), or other revenues.
FL
as a whole consists of the following inputs, processes and outputs:
a.
Input - The Nevada license that allows the company to produce live Kickboxing, Boxing, and MMA shows, notably in Las Vegas in the
state of Nevada, assets, TV set and sound system equipment.
b.
Process - To carry out the live shows, there are sets of rules, protocols and procedures which need to be adhere to for eg. safety
protocols, prevention of sound nuisance, standard requirement for setting up live shows, advertising and marketing efforts to promote
the shows etc
c.
Output - Ticket sales, production revenue and resulting profit generated from the shows after deducting all the required expenses.
805-10-55-5
An
integrated set of activities and assets (defined in 805-10-55-3A) requires two essential elements—inputs and processes applied
to those inputs. A business need not include all the inputs or processes that the seller used in operating that business.
805-10-55-5A
If
substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar
identifiable assets, the set is not considered a business. Gross assets acquired should exclude cash and cash equivalents, deferred
tax assets, and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities. However, the gross assets acquired should include
any consideration transferred (plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest and previously held interest, if any) in excess
of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
FL
as a results of it being a specialist in organising combat sports events and selling of rights
as well as a license allowing it to produce live combat shows event in Las Vegas.
The
fair value of gross assets acquired was based on a group of similar assets which is largely made up of the Nevada license, TV equipment
and sound system, technical knowledge know-how on operating a live combat shows, which each of these components are inseparable and
critical to ensure that the live shows can be carried out smoothly.
805-10-55-6
It
states that in a business combination, an acquirer should measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and
any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition-date fair values.
As
mentioned in note 5 of the amended 10Q, the purchase price was determined based on the directors best estimation of the current and
future value the Nevada license and assets that is contained in FL.
805-10-55-7
It
requires the acquirer to recognize any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as of the acquisition date, even if the acquirer obtains
control of the acquiree in stages.
Not
applicable since no non-controlling interest involved
805-10-55-8
It
specifies that the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination should be measured at the acquisition date,
including any contingent consideration that is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Same
as explanation highlighted for 805-10-55-6
805-10-55-9
It
mandates that any transaction costs incurred in a business combination should be expensed as incurred and should not be included
in the consideration transferred in the business combination.
The
transaction cost incurred for the business combination has already been expensed in the profit and loss statement.
• Revise your disclosure
as necessary, to provide the determination of the purchase price and consideration transferred, provide quantification of the individual
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as information on how they were valued, and explain how you have allocated the purchase
price to the identified assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 805-10-50.
We have
amended the 10Q to provide further information on the acquisition.
Sincerely,
Andrei
