NOTE 6. ACQUISITIONS

The GGY business combination described below is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at fair value on the date of the transaction.  Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded to goodwill. The Company has not presented proforma combined results because the impact on previously reported statements of operations would not have been material. Additionally, the near term impact to the Company’s operations and cash flows is not material.

The aggregate purchase price was not material and the near term impact to operation and cash flow is not expected to be material. KIS and KIS Pricing are a part of the MIS segment.
