3. Business Combination

On April 8, 2010, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of RetinaLabs. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired RetinaLabs' existing product family together with certain additional intellectual property that the Company anticipates incorporating into future products. The purchase price for the acquired assets consisted of $250 thousand in cash consideration and 115 thousand unregistered shares of the Company's common stock issued at closing, and an earn-out. The earn-out is tied to future revenues and could result in additional cash and share consideration being paid to RetinaLabs based on the future performance of the acquired products and intellectual property.

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired from RetinaLabs at the date of acquisition are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill in the amount of $473 thousand. This goodwill is expected to be non-deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price includes the fair value of the cash earn-out which is recorded as a long-term liability and the fair value of the contingent consideration for additional shares which is recorded in equity.

We incurred $76 thousand of direct costs associated with the acquisition that were expensed as a component of general and administrative expense in the second quarter 2010. The amounts of revenue and earnings of the acquiree since the acquisition date are included in the consolidated statement of operations for the reporting period and have been immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The financial results of RetinaLabs prior to the acquisition are immaterial for purposes of pro forma financial disclosures.

The determination of estimated fair value of acquired assets and liabilities requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We determined the fair value by applying established valuation techniques, based on information that management believed to be relevant to this determination. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

 

The purchase price was as follows (in thousands):

At time of acquisition:

 

Cash, net of escrow

   $ 225   

Shares issued, net of escrow

     444   

Earn-out:

  

Net present value of additional cash including escrow

     380   

Net present value of additional shares including escrow

     264   
  

 

 

 

Total purchase price

   $ 1,313   
  

 

 

 

The cost of the acquisition was allocated as follows (in thousands):

 

Identifiable intangible assets:

  

Patents

   $ 600   

Customer-related

     240   

Goodwill

     473   
  

 

 

 

Total purchase price

   $ 1,313   
  

 

 

 

Valuing certain components of the acquisition, including primarily identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, and the earn-out liability, required us to make estimates that may be adjusted in the future. As of July 2, 2011, there were no changes in the fair value of the earn-out since the date of acquisition.

Identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets included in the purchase price allocation consist of: (a) technology patents of $600 thousand, assigned an economic useful life whereby the economic value of the asset is its ability to provide the Company relief from royalty and is being amortized as a percentage of revenues generated per units sold, and (b) customer-related intangible assets of $240 thousand, assigned an economic life of 15 years being amortized on the straight line method.

Goodwill. Approximately $473 thousand has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with ASC 350-20, Goodwill, is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment is incurred in the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made. The Company believes the goodwill realized was the result of a number of factors, including expected revenue growth opportunities for existing products and the opportunity to commercialize acquired intellectual property.
