Note 22 – Liquidity Agreement for Purchase of Investor Webcast and Subsequent Termination

 

On April 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the assets of a sole proprietorship, dba Investor Webcast, which were valued at $469,611 in exchange for 4,696 to-be-created Series B convertible preferred shares of Mentor. Mentor placed the purchased assets into Investor Webcast, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Mentor (“CAST”). The purchase price was based on projected future earnings of CAST and discounted at 17.87% (the discount rate used for the 2015 investment in installment receivable described in Note 6).

 

After one year, the to-be-created Series B convertible preferred shares could be converted, in steps or in whole, into Mentor common shares. Due to Mentor’s reincorporation in Delaware, the series B convertible preferred shares had not yet been created and therefore, a convertible security was issued to the prior owner of the CAST assets which could be converted to Mentor Series B convertible preferred shares once they were created.

Actual operating results of CAST in future periods and the share price of Mentor common shares at the date of conversion would determine the number of common shares issued upon conversion of the Series B convertible preferred shares, in whole or in part. The conversion formula was to be evaluated in subsequent periods to determine if actual CAST operations result in a contingent asset or liability relating to the Series B convertible preferred shares. The Company evaluated CAST revenue and income for the period from the purchase date, April 20, 2015, to December 31, 2015 along with revised projections. The revenue and net loss realized in 2015 and the lower revised projections resulted in a fair value of $0 for the convertible security at December 31, 2015.

 

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement and General Release in which the certain Investor Webcast – Mentor Capital Cannabis Owners Public Liquidity Agreement effective April 20, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Convertible Security Agreement between Mentor and the prior owner of the CAST assets were cancelled and terminated, resulting in a disposition of CAST assets and liabilities by the Company. Pursuant to Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement, the CAST owner was to receive Mentor shares according to Mentor’s conversion formula specified in the Purchase Agreement. However, the CAST business has not evolved as quickly as CAST owners expected and the result of the conversion formula was a negative number less than zero at the time of the termination. Therefore, the parties by mutual consent dissolved their relationship.

 

The prior owner of the CAST assets received assets valued at $7,408, assumed liabilities of $7,063 as follows:

Mentor forgave an intercompany note receivable from CAST of $23,225, direct intercompany charges of $10,284, and $17,043 of intercompany overhead receivable from CAST. In addition, Mentor paid $500 to the prior owner and $50 each to two prior employees.
