On January 1, 2018, Access IT Company exchanged $910,000 for 40 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 $1,870,000.

In contractual agreements with the sole owner of the remaining 60 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.
