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 Company also paid legal and professional fees of $111 related to the purchase during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

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 (“AGP”), 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.

As of December 31, 2025, upon conclusion of the first twelve-month measurement period, there was a shortfall in the minimum required AGP under the Purchase Agreement. This shortfall resulted in the elimination of the amounts of $196 that would have been due under the first installments of the Promissory Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the determination was made that the minimum required AGP for the second twelve-month measurement period can no longer be met under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the second installments of the Promissory Notes were entirely eliminated, accordingly. The elimination of the Promissory Notes has been recognized as other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the amounts of $196 and $392 for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively. No payments are required to be made to Hornet’s former shareholders on the Promissory Notes, accordingly.

 

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 measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs and were recorded net of discounts of $8 at the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the balance sheet at January 3, 2025:
