2010 Acquisitions
On December 8, 2010, the Company acquired Expert Parking, Inc. and Expert Parking Management, Inc. in a stock purchase transaction for a purchase price in the amount of $5,977 net of cash acquired, of which $3,597 was paid in cash, and $2,380 of estimated earn-out payments to be paid over five years, which are contingent upon achieving certain financial performance targets. Expert Parking, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, operates and manages garages in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The net cash paid at the time of the acquisition of $3,597 consisted of accounts receivable of $569, intangible assets with finite lives of $3,150 and goodwill of $3,489, offset by accounts payable of $580, accrued expenses of $757 and long-term liabilities of $2,274.
The acquisition represents an acquisition of a business and was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of goodwill. These estimates are subject to revision after the Company completes its fair value analysis. The Company financed the acquisition through additional term borrowings under the senior credit facility and existing cash. The results of operations of this acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition.
The Company expensed acquisition related costs of $10 in 2011 and $207 in 2010. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the income statement. The amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $1,396.
