Branson paid $544,600 cash for all of the outstanding common stock of Wolfpack, Inc., on January 1, 2017. On that date, the subsidiary had a book value of $389,000 (common stock of $200,000 and retained earnings of $189,000), although various unrecorded royalty agreements (10-year remaining life) were assessed at a $142,000 fair value. Any remaining excess fair value was considered goodwill. In negotiating the acquisition price, Branson also promised to pay Wolfpack's former owners an additional $62,000 if Wolfpack's income exceeded $160,000 total over the first two years after the acquisition. At the acquisition date, Branson estimated the probability-adjusted present value of this contingent consideration at $43,400. On December 31, 2017, based on Wolfpack's earnings to date, Branson increased the value of the contingency to $49,600.
