−Removed: developed by SMC.

−Removed: projections which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 fair value measurements.
−Removed: The allocation of the total
−Removed: consideration transferred to the assets acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill, and the liabilities assumed, is preliminary
−Removed: and could be revised as a result of additional information obtained due to the finalization of a third-party valuation report, leases

−Removed: GWW is considered the accounting acquirer since the Company controls the board of directors of GIGA following
−Removed: the transactions and received a 71.2 % beneficial ownership interest in GIGA.

−Removed: rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.
−Removed: The fair value of the purchase
−Removed: consideration was $ 9.5 million , consisting of $ 4.0 million for GIGA’s common stock and prefunded warrants, $ 0.4 million fair value
