2. Business Acquisition

On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hornet Staffing, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Hornet”) and its shareholders, and purchased 100 shares of its capital stock which represents 100% of the ownership interest in Hornet. Hornet is an Atlanta-based provider of staff augmentation services with national service capability. Hornet provides staffing solutions to many markets serving large scale, "blue chip" companies in the information technology ("IT"), professional and customer service staffing verticals. 

The total consideration paid for the purchased shares was $1,500, consisting of (i) a $1,100 cash payment, and (ii) the issuance to its former shareholders of subordinated and unsecured promissory notes (the "Promissory Notes") totaling an aggregate initial principal amount of $400. Interest on the outstanding principal balances of the Promissory Notes is payable at a fixed rate of 5% per annum. Payments on the Promissory Notes shall be made annually with the first payment due on the first anniversary of the issuance dates and the second and final payment due on the second anniversary of the issuance date.

The Purchase Agreement also provides that for the initial two-year period after closing, Hornet is required to achieve an agreed upon minimum average gross profit measure equal to $720 for each of the two subsequent twelve-month periods (each twelve-month period being separately measured). If the average gross profit measure during either of the subsequent two years is less than the minimum required average gross profit, then the Company will reduce the remaining balance under the Promissory Notes proportionally by an amount equal to the amount of the shortfall; provided the Company may not deduct more than the amount due under the then current payment for the Promissory Notes and may not seek to claw back any previous payments made under the Notes.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations and warranties customary and standard for this type of transaction.

The assets and liabilities of Hornet were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the Purchase Agreement. The Promissory Notes were recorded net of discounts of $8 at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary balance sheet at January 3, 2025:
