Starship incurred $30,000 of stock issuance costs and $35,000 in acquisition costs in connection with the acquisition. As part of the transaction, Starship agreed to pay Jefferson shareholders $75,000 of additional consideration if earnings through December 31, 2019 exceed a specified amount. The fair value of such contingent amount was $36,000 at the acquisition date and $52,000 at December 31, 2018. The specified amount was exceeded in 2019.

On a separate company basis (but before accounting for any impact, of acquisition related items, if any), for the year ended December 31, 2018 Starship generated net operating income of $800,000 and Jefferson had net income of $270,000. Net income for both entities was earned ratably throughout the year. The balance of equipment as of December 31, 2018 on Starship's seperated books was $220,000 and $180,000 Jefferson's seperate books. There were no disposals of equipment in 2018.
