NOTE B – Business Acquisitions

EDIAdmin

On October 3, 2018, we completed our asset acquisition of EDIAdmin, a privately held company providing end-to-end integration solutions, featuring a dedicated Integration Platform as a Service (“iPaaS”) called Cloud Hybrid Integration Platform (“CHIP”) and collaborative managed services for leading systems and applications, both cloud and on-premise. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, we paid $7.5 million in cash to the owner of EDIAdmin.  The purchase agreement also allowed the seller to receive up to $1.7 million in cash, which becomes payable in first quarter 2020 and 2021 contingent upon the completion of certain revenue milestones at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.  During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized other expense of $0.1 million in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to the remeasurement of the contingent liability.  See Note E for further disclosures on the remeasurement of the contingent liability.  The purchase accounting for the EDIAdmin acquisition is complete as of December 31, 2018.

Purchase Price Allocation

We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination.  We allocated the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.  We engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist us in the determination of the value of the purchased intangible assets and of the earn-out liability.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  Goodwill is attributed to a trained workforce and other buyer-specific value resulting from expected synergies, including long-term cost savings, which are not included in the fair values of identifiable assets.  

The purchase price consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

Cash

7,461

 

Fair value of earn-out liability

 

 

1,274

8,735

 

The final purchase price is subject to a net working capital adjustment to be determined by the sellers and us, pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

CovalentWorks

On December 18, 2018, we completed our asset acquisition of CovalentWorks, a privately held company providing cloud-based EDI solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, we paid $19.4 million in cash and issued $3.4 million in common stock, or 40,478 shares, to the owners of CovalentWorks.  The purchase accounting for the CovalentWorks acquisition has not been finalized as of December 31, 2018.  Provisional amounts are primarily related to intangible assets.  We expect to finalize the allocation of purchase price within the one-year measurement-period following the acquisition.
