I just figured it out. They actually had $28 million in goodwill in the purchase price of Tickeri and Monster combined and then wrote down $12 million of it to end up at the $16 million in goodwill on the books.
What this means is that out of the gate their accountant forced them to write off $12 million of the purchase price between Tickeri and Monster.
Never seen that before. Why would you pay $28 million for something and then immediately write off almost half of it????
This sure doesn’t look like a set of arms length transactions.
