NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT |
NOTE 8 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT Conversion of Debt On March 31, 2015, Duos Ventures LLC converted $1,415,546 of convertible debentures which included $7,176 accrued interest into 2,211,791 shares of Common stock as a result of the closing of a reverse merger with Information Systems Associate, Inc. (ISA). The conversion was priced at a 20% discount from the ISA closing price on March 31, 2015 of $0.80 for a net conversion price of $0.64 per share in accordance with the original terms of the convertible debentures. As a result of this conversion, $37,120 of accrued debt premium relating to the 3% provision (see Note 3) was reclassified to equity and a $352,093 interest expense was recognized and recorded as a debt premium on March 31, 2015 pursuant to the resolution of the contingency under ASC 480 and reclassified to equity.
Reverse Merger On April 1, 2015, the Company completed a reverse triangular merger, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) among the Company (Duos), Information Systems Associates, Inc. (ISA), a publicly traded company, and Duos Acquisition Corporation, a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ISA (Merger Sub). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Duos, with Duos remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISA (the Merger). The Merger was effective as of April 1, 2015, upon the filing of a copy of the Merger Agreement and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida (the Effective Time). As part of the merger agreement, ISA confirmed to Duos executives that its stockholders would receive 60,000,000 common shares of ISA. The Company intends to carry on Duos business as a line of business following the Merger. The Company also intends to continue ISA's existing operations through its existing wholly owned subsidiary, TrueVue 360, Inc. Duos made the decision to become a public company to give it broader access to the public financial markets to support its growth goals. The objective was to streamline the merger process by finding a clean, operating entity with no toxic debt and that was not and had never been a shell company.
The merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method under ASC 805-40 with ISA deemed to be the acquired company for accounting purposes. This determination is based on Duos shareholders obtaining an approximate 98% voting control as well as management and Board control of the combined entity. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements after the merger are those of Duos stated at historical cost and the assets and liabilities of ISA were recorded at their fair values at the merger date. The results of operations of ISA are only consolidated with the results of operations starting on the merger date. An analysis of Duos Technologies established a total enterprise valuation of $19,350,000 using a relative values approach. At the time of the merger, it was estimated that ISA shareholders would own approximately 2% of the outstanding stock after issuance of 60,000,000 shares to Duos shareholders. This resulted in a purchase price of $393,929. The difference between the recorded historical value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaling $1,578,816 was allocated $165,000 for trade name and technology and a further $250,000 for existing customer relationships both of which will be amortized over 2 years. These trade name and technology amounts are based on the value of a secured loan against the patent and software and the customer relationships is calculated based on the estimated gross margin for the next two years for certain customer relationships. The remaining $1,163,816 is allocated to Goodwill which is the expected synergies that will benefit the combined entity. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, the Company is deemed to have issued 1,246,870 common shares to the ISA shareholders for a purchase price of $393,929.
In connection with the merger, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $36,718 in 2014 of which $16,425 is included in professional fees, $10,000 is included in salaries, wages and contract labor and $10,293 is included in general and administrative expenses on the December 31, 2014 statements of operations. In addition, the Company incurred $75,489 in 2015 of which $31,812 is included in professional fees, $35,000 is included in salaries, wages and contract labor and $8,677 is included in general and administrative expenses as of March 31, 2015.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger are as follows:
