On January 1, 2018, Access IT Company exchanged $1,080,000 for 45 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Net Connect. Especially attractive to Access IT was a research project underway at Net Connect that would enhance both the speed and quantity of client-accessible data. Although not recorded in Net Connect's financial records, the fair value of the research project was considered to be $2,040,000.

In contractual agreements with the sole owner of the remaining 55 percent of Net Connect, Access IT was granted (1) various decision-making rights over Net Connect's operating decisions and (2) special service purchase provisions at below-market rates. As a result of these contractual agreements, Access IT established itself as the primary beneficiary of Net Connect. Immediately after the purchase, Access IT and Net Connect presented the following balance sheets:

	Access IT			Net Connect
Cash	$	69,000		$	49,000
Investment in Net Connect		1,080,000
Capitalized software		989,000			164,000

Retained earnings		(447,000	)		(147,000	)

Each of the above amounts represents a fair value at January 1, 2018. The fair value of the 55 percent of Net Connect shares not owned by Access IT was $1,320,000.
