3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

Acquisition of Branchbird LLC (“Branchbird”): On August 17, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Branchbird, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Branchbird Acquisition”). Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Branchbird delivers Big Data solutions to their clients utilizing the Oracle Endeca and Big Data Discovery (BDD) products. The Branchbird Acquisition extends Ranzal’s presence in the Midwest.

The Company determined the total allocable purchase price consideration to be $4.2 million. The initial cash consideration paid at closing was $2.7 million, net of $19 thousand attributable to a net working capital adjustment. The initial consideration paid by the Company was increased by $1.4 million, representing our initial estimate of the fair value of additional contingent earnout consideration that may be earned by Branchbird, which is described in more detail below. In addition to the above payments, the Company incurred approximately $321 thousand in direct transaction costs, which were expensed during the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2015.

An earnout agreement was entered into in connection with the Branchbird Acquisition under which Branchbird is eligible to receive additional contingent consideration. Contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to Branchbird will be based upon the achievement of certain performance measures (and is not impacted by continued employment status of Branchbird owners) over two consecutive twelve-month earnout periods, concluding on August 16, 2017. The Company has estimated the fair value of this obligation on the date of acquisition to be $1.4 million. The maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that can be earned by Branchbird is capped at $2.4 million. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded an accrual of $1.5 million related to Branchbird contingent earnout consideration.

In connection with the Branchbird Acquisition, the Company made certain estimates related to the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingent earnout consideration, identified intangibles and goodwill.

The Company expects to complete the Branchbird measurement period during the fourth quarter of 2015.

The Company performed a preliminary fair value allocation of the purchase price among assets, liabilities and identified intangible assets. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

	Total			Life (In Years)
	(In Thousands)
Accounts receivable	$	540
Other assets		16
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(86	)
Customer relationships		2,100			5
Goodwill (deductible for tax purposes)		1,613
Total purchase price	$	4,183

The Branchbird Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction, and accordingly, the results of operations, commencing August 17, 2015, are included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Pro forma financial information related to the Branchbird Acquisition is not presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to the Company.

Acquisition of Zero2Ten, Inc. (“Zero2Ten”): On March 13, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Zero2Ten, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Zero2Ten Acquisition”). Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, Zero2Ten is a specialty solution provider of Microsoft’s CRM Cloud product. Zero2Ten has delivered its services to organizations across various vertical markets with an emphasis on manufacturing. The acquisition of Zero2Ten continues our investment in service offerings that complement the Microsoft Dynamics product suite.

The Company determined the total allocable purchase price consideration to be $9.0 million. The initial cash consideration paid at closing was $4.5 million. The cash paid at closing consisted of the $5.0 million purchase price less $457 thousand attributable to a net working capital adjustment. The initial consideration paid by the Company was increased by $4.4 million, representing our initial estimate of the fair value estimate of additional contingent earnout consideration that may be earned by Zero2Ten, which is described in more detail below. In addition to the above payments, the Company incurred approximately $611 thousand in direct transaction costs, which were expensed during the three-months ended March 31, 2015.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company made the following adjustments related to its initial purchase price consideration:

• The Company increased total purchase price consideration of the Zero2Ten Acquisition, resulting in an increase to the carrying value of goodwill, by $101. The increase is attributable to the final true-up of excess net working capital delivered by Zero2Ten at the closing of the transaction.

No adjustments were made to our initial purchase price during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

An earnout agreement was entered into in connection with the Zero2Ten Acquisition under which Zero2Ten is eligible to receive additional contingent consideration. Contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to Zero2Ten will be based upon the achievement of certain performance measures (and is not impacted by continued employment status of Zero2Ten shareholders) over two consecutive twelve-month earnout periods, concluding on March 13, 2017.
