The significant intangible assets identified in the purchase price allocation discussed above include the Trade Name, Proprietary Software, and Customer Relationships. To value the Trade Name and Proprietary Software, the Company utilized the Relief from Royalty Method, which quantifies the cost savings associated with asset ownership via a discounted cash flow analysis. To value the Customer Relationships, the Company utilized the Excess Earnings Method, which isolates the value of the specific intangible asset by discounting its income stream to present value.
 
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed reflected in the tables above is less than the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value of the synergies the Company expects to realize and the assembled workforce.
