ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL, AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
    
Verify Investor, LLC

On February 12, 2018, tZERO acquired 81% of the total equity interests of Verify Investor, LLC, an accredited investor verification company, for a total purchase price of $12.0 million in cash. With the acquisition of the majority interest in Verify Investor, LLC, tZERO plans to integrate the software and technology of Verify Investor, LLC with the Token Trading System that tZERO plans to develop and deploy. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are as follows (in thousands):

The expense for amortizing intangible assets acquired in connection with this acquisition was $302,000 and $904,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Acquired intangible assets primarily include technology, trade name, and customer relationships. As described above, we determined the fair value of these assets using an income approach method to determine the present value of expected future cash flows for each identifiable intangible asset. This method was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated based on the company's historical operating results.

The acquired assets, liabilities, and associated operating results were consolidated into our financial statements at the acquisition dates, or the dates on which we obtained control of the acquired assets or interests.

Mac Warehouse, LLC

On June 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the total equity interests of Mac Warehouse, LLC, an electronics retailer of refurbished Apple products, for a total purchase price of $1.2 million in cash. With the acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC, we plan to integrate the inventory and business processes of Mac Warehouse, LLC in our direct retail business. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.

Determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets is based upon preliminary estimates. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any change could result in variances between our future financial results and the amounts recognized in the financial information presented below, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses associated with these items.

The preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are as follows (in thousands):
