2022 Acquisitions
On May 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller four operating franchises in Arizona. The Company operates the franchises as company-owned
clinics. The total purchase price for the transaction was $5,761,256, less $70,484 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $5,690,772.
On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller one operating franchise in Arizona (collectively, including the May 19th purchase, the “AZ Clinics Purchase”). The Company operates the franchise as a company-owned clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,205,667, less $13,241 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,192,426.
Based on the terms of the purchase agreements, the AZ Clinics Purchase has been treated as a business combination under U.S. GAAP using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The allocation of the total purchase price of AZ Clinics Purchase was as follows:

Property and equipment $ 241,511 
Operating lease right-of-use asset 912,937 
Intangible assets 3,689,100 
Total assets acquired 4,843,548 
Goodwill 3,408,205 
Deferred revenue (455,317)
Operating lease liability - current portion (128,516)
Operating lease liability - net of current portion (784,722)
Net purchase consideration $ 6,883,198 

Intangible assets in the table above consist of re-acquired franchise rights of $2,892,100, amortized over estimated useful lives of approximately four to eight years and customer relationships of $797,000, amortized over estimated useful lives of two to three years. The fair value of re-acquired franchise rights are estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The multi-period excess earnings method model estimates revenues and cash flows derived from the primary asset and then deducts portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets, such as assembled workforce and working capital that contributed to the generation of the cash flows. The resulting cash flow, which is attributable solely to the primary asset acquired, is then discounted at a rate of return commensurate with the risk of the asset to calculate a present value. Customer relationships are also calculated using the multi-period excess earnings method.
The valuation method involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions primarily related to forecasted revenue growth rates, gross margin, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rates, and market-participant discount rates. These measures are based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions developed based on the Company’s historical experience, future projections and comparable market data include future cash flows, long-term growth rates, attrition rates and discount rates
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill included synergies and benefits expected to be gained from leveraging the Company’s existing operations and infrastructures, as well as the expected associated revenue and cash flow projections. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Corporate Clinics segment based on such expected benefits. Goodwill related to the acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years. The Company completed the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2022.
On July 29, 2022, the Company entered into Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreements under which the Company repurchased from the sellers three operating franchises in North Carolina. The Company operates the franchises as company-managed clinics. The total purchase price for the transactions was $1,317,312, less $31,647 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,285,665.
On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller an operating franchise in North Carolina. The Company operates the franchise as a company-
managed clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $761,384, less $5,108 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $756,276.
On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller an operating franchise in North Carolina (collectively, including the July 29th and October 13th purchases, the "NC Clinics Purchase"). The Company operates the franchise as a company-managed clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,391,112, less $9,262 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,381,850.
On December 23, 2022, the Company entered into Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreements under which the Company repurchased from the sellers six operating franchises and one undeveloped clinic in California (the “CA Clinics Purchase”). The Company operates the franchises as company-managed clinics. The total purchase price for the transactions was $1,965,755, less $70,628 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,895,127.

Based on the terms of the purchase agreement, the NC and CA Clinics Purchases have been treated as asset purchases under U.S. GAAP as there were no outputs or processes to generate outputs acquired as part of these transactions. Under an asset purchase, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity. Cost is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill.
The allocation of the total purchase price of NC Clinics Purchase was as follows:
Property and equipment $ 198,236 
Operating lease right-of-use asset 521,222 
Intangible assets 3,544,456 
Total assets acquired 4,263,914 
Deferred revenue (326,332)
Operating lease liability - current portion (146,255)
Operating lease liability - net of current portion (367,536)
