NOTE L — Acquisitions and Divestitures
On November 1, 2010, the Company acquired ID Warehouse, based in New South Wales, Australia
for $7,970. ID Warehouse offers security identification and visitor management products including
identification card printers, access control cards, wristbands, tamper-evident security seals and
identification accessories. The business is included in the Company’s Asia-Pacific segment. The
purchase price allocation resulted in $4,792 assigned to goodwill, $1,846 assigned to customer
relationships, and $487 assigned to non-compete agreements. The amounts assigned to the customer
relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized over 10 and 5 years, respectively.
The Company expects the acquisition to further strengthen its position in the people identification
business in Australia and the segment.
The results of the operations of the acquired business have been included since the date of
acquisition in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is
continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations for the acquisition included above
and will adjust the allocations as additional information relative to the fair value of assets and
liabilities of the acquired business becomes known. Pro forma information related to the
acquisition of ID Warehouse was not included because the impact on the Company’s consolidated
results of operations is considered to be immaterial.
On December 16, 2010, the Company sold its Teklynx business, a barcode software company. The
Teklynx business had operations primarily in the Company’s Americas and Europe segments. The
Company received proceeds of $12,979, net of cash retained in the business. The transaction
resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4,394, which was accounted for in “Selling, general, and
administrative expenses” (“SG&A”) on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine
month periods ended April 30, 2011. The divestiture of the Teklynx business was part of the
Company’s continued long-term growth strategy to focus the Company’s energies and resources on
growth of the Company’s core business.
