Intangible assets consists of research and development costs capitalized during the year relating to work that was performed internally for developing new printing technology, the benefits of which were going to be launched starting this fiscal year. Fuschia Enterprises had a valuation performed and it was estimated that the fair value of this technology was $600,000.

The assets and liabilities approximate their net book values recorded above except for property, plant, and equipment (net), which has a fair value of $550,000 and inventory which has a fair value of $1,025,000.

The purchase price paid to the shareholders of Neon Limited consisted of $1,600,000 paid on June 30, 2013.
