On August 29, 2018, an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was entered into by and among Where Food Comes From, Inc. (“WFCF” or the “Company”) and JVF Consulting, LLC (“Seller”).
to the Purchase Agreement, WFCF purchased the business assets of the Seller for aggregate consideration of approximately $815,300, which includes $500,000 in cash and 158,437 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $315,300 based upon the closing price of our stock on August 29, 2018, of $1.99 per share.
We believe the transaction adds value to certain of our existing software solutions which are based on intellectual property built and owned by the Seller.

With this acquisition, WFCF will control all of the intellectual property associated with its current Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. Additionally, WFCF will employ three of the Seller’s employees who enhance our ability to address new markets and services with our SaaS Solutions.
