Acquisition

24.Acquisition

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company purchased 70% of Vertical Eden, LLC, an early-stage company in the warehouse growing market, based in Alpine, Utah, for $3.3 million in cash and contingent consideration valued at $1.5 million. The purchase of Vertical Eden includes specialized technology in remote programming and management of the entire crop growing cycle.  As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $4.4 million of intangible assets which are being amortized over the useful lives of 3 to 7 years. The Company has also recorded $2.5 million of goodwill. Due to the insignificance of the transaction to the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company has not separately presented the $2.1 million non-controlling interest related to this acquisition, but has included it in other liabilities and has included the net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in other income (expense).
