Form 8-K/A filed on September 02, 2022
Exhibit 99.3 - Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information, page F-7
2.Under ASC 805, the purchase price should be allocated to specific identifiable tangible
and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. If the accounting is
preliminary/provisional, significant liabilities and tangible and intangible assets likely to
be recognized should be identified and uncertainties regarding the effects of amortization
periods assigned to the assets should be highlighted. In this regard, please explain why
your pro forma financial information does not give effect to the acquisition accounting of
the acquisition of QPhoton.
3.We noted you only provided a table of the total estimated preliminary purchase
consideration; however, under ASC 805, the notes to the pro forma balance sheet
should include a disclosure of the date at which the stock price was determined and a
sensitivity analysis for the range of possible outcomes based upon percentage increases
and decreases in the recent stock price. The appropriate percentages should be reasonable
in light of acquirer’s volatility. Please advise.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
You may contact Becky Chow, Staff Accountant at 202-551-6524, or Stephen
Krikorian, Accounting Branch Chief, at 202-551-3488 with any questions.
Sincerely,
