2. Acquisition

On October 2, 2012 (“Closing Date”), we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of 100% of the outstanding common shares of KCPC Holdings, Inc. (“KCPC”), which was the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation (“Central”) for 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and the assumption of $217,675 of Central’s debt net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive cash consideration of $27,000, subject to adjustment, to be paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy certain obligations that the Company has been indemnified for, by or from the former Central shareholders.

Pursuant to the Central Merger agreement, we are entitled to indemnification from the former stockholders of KCPC if and to the extent Central’s combined net debt and the absolute value of Central’s working capital (as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement) (the “Net Debt Working Capital”) exceeded $285,000 as of September 30, 2012. While we have not made a formal indemnity claim under the Merger Agreement relating to Net Debt Working Capital, the Net Debt Working Capital was $300,546 as of September 30, 2012 and, accordingly, the Net Debt Working Capital exceeded $285,000 by $15,546.

Central Net Debt Working Capital at September 30, 2012 as defined in the Merger Agreement	$	(300,546	)
Threshold	285,000
Excess over the threshold	(15,546		)
Cash consideration payable in three years	27,000
Cash consideration	$	11,454
Present value of cash consideration at the acquisition date	$	8,943

Accordingly, the fair value of the final consideration transferred to acquire all of Central’s outstanding stock at the acquisition date is as follows:

Stock consideration	$	140,726
Present value of cash consideration to be issued	8,943
Total consideration transferred	$	149,669

The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration related costs associated with the transaction that were expensed as incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $4,224 of these costs in its Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in general and administrative expenses.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations) which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The table below summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized (see below) and are subject to change, which could be significant. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The Company financed the acquisition through additional term borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (defined in Note 11) and consisting of a revolving credit facility up to $200,000 and a term loan of $250,000. The results of operations of this acquisition are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the preliminary values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

	Amounts recorded as of the acquisition date
Net current liabilities	$	(52,475	)
Leasehold improvements, equipment, land and construction in progress, net	24,154
Identified intangible assets:
Management contracts	81,000
Favorable lease contracts	51,650
Trade name / Trademarks	14,900
Existing Technology	34,000
Non-competition Agreements	2,600
Other noncurrent assets	17,748
Long-term debt	(237,223		)
Unfavorable lease contracts	(69,316		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(19,523		)
Net deferred tax liability	(82		)
Net liabilities assumed	(152,567		)
Goodwill	302,236
Total consideration transferred	$	149,669

The acquired management contracts are being amortized over a weighted average life of 16 years. The favorable and unfavorable lease contracts are being amortized over their contractual lives which results in a weighted average life of 10 and 7 years, respectively. The trade names and trademarks are being amortized over 7 years. The non-compete agreements are being amortized over 1 year. The existing technology is being amortized over 4.5 years. See Note 8 for further disclosure regarding the amortization of the intangible assets.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations, which include growth of new and existing customers, elimination of corporate overhead redundancies, and logistical improvements.

The recorded amounts are preliminary and subject to change. The following items are still subject to change:

· Amounts for intangible assets, unfavorable lease contracts, existing technology, leasehold improvements, equipment, land and construction in progress, pending finalization of valuation efforts.

· Amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities pending the finalization of the valuations of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill.

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of the Company’s judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations.
