MERGER

NOTE B – MERGER

 

On May 5, 2014, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, we merged our wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Omnilink Systems Inc. (Omnilink) with Omnilink surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Numerex. The purchase price of $37.5 million was composed of a cash payment of $37.3 million and a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million.

 

Omnilink provides tracking and monitoring services for people and valuable assets via Omnilink’s M2M platform that connects hardware, networks, software, and support services. Our combination with Omnilink has provided operating synergies and created growth opportunities through product enhancement and channel expansion. The assets, liabilities and operating results of Omnilink are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing from the merger date.

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Omnilink merger (dollars in thousands):

 

          Estimated  
      Fair Value       Useful Lives  
Cash   $ 195       n/a  
Accounts receivable     2,677       n/a  
Inventory     873       n/a  
Prepaid and other assets     377       n/a  
Property and equipment     1,613       (a)  
Deferred tax asset     2,400       n/a  
Customer relationships     6,056       11  
Technology     4,998       14  
Trade names     3,632       Indefinite  
Goodwill     17,518       Indefinite  
Total identifiable assets acquired     40,339          
                 
Accounts payable     (1,756 )     n/a  
Accrued expenses     (1,037 )     n/a  
Deferred revenue     (64 )     n/a  
Total liabilities assumed     (2,857 )        
Net assets acquired   $ 37,482          

 

 
(a) The weighted average remaining useful life for all property and equipment is approximately four years.

 

The total purchase consideration for the merger was allocated to identifiable assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The estimated fair value attributed to intangible assets, other than goodwill, was based on common valuation techniques. The fair value of acquired software was estimated using a cost approach based on assumptions of our historical software development costs. The fair value of trade names was based on an income approach with key assumptions including estimated royalty rates to license the trade names from a third party. The valuation of customer relationships utilized an income approach and discounted cash flows taking into consideration the number of customer relationships acquired and estimated customer turnover.

 

The gross amount of accounts receivable in the table above is $2.9 million. Based on the nature and financial strength of the customers on the date of acquisition, we expected to collect amounts due for the accounts receivable of $2.7 million.

 

The value of the deferred tax asset and goodwill as disclosed above reflect a subsequent measurement period adjustment of $0.2 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2015 to record the final calculation of acquired deferred tax assets. The measurement period adjustment had no impact on the statements of operations or cash flows. The residual allocation to goodwill results from such factors as an assembled workforce, expected significant synergies for market growth and profitability as well as Omnilink’s service and product lines contributing to our becoming the market leader in select M2M vertical markets. The total amount of goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

  

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded the final measurement period adjustments related to merger with Omnilink. The measurement period adjustment resulted in recasting the December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet, as follows (in thousands):

 

    December 31,     Measurement     December 31,  
    2014     Period     2014  
    As Reported     Adjustment     Recast  
Assets                        
 Goodwill   $ 44,548     $ (200 )   $ 44,348  
 Deferred tax assets, less current portion     5,616       200       5,816  
    $ 50,164     $ -     $ 50,164  

 

The measurement period adjustment had no effect on the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or cash flows.
