Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Goodwill, Other Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets, page 52 3. We note your disclosure that your annual impairment analysis did not indicate an impairment existed. Please identify the two reporting units which have goodwill balances. For the reporting units where the fair value was not substantially in excess of the carrying value, please revise your disclosures to identify the reporting unit, disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, and disclose the percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value. For the reporting units where fair value substantially exceeded carrying value, please disclose that fact. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2 - Acquisition, page F-19 4. We note from your disclosure that you have allocated $44 million of the purchase price to customer relationships, and assigned a useful life of 12 years. Please explain to us how you estimated or determined the estimated useful life for this intangible asset. Also we note in many instances, customer relationships may dissipate at a more rapid rate in the earlier periods following a company's succession to these relationships, with the rate of attrition declining over time until relatively few customers or contracts remain who persist for an extended period. Under this pattern, a significant amount of cash flows derived from the acquired customer base may be recognized in earlier periods and then fall to a materially reduced level in later years. In this regard, please tell us what consideration was given to using an accelerated method of amortization, rather than the straight-line method for purposes of amortizing your customer relationship intangibles to expense, as it appears that this may result in a more systematic allocation of the intangibles' cost to the periods benefited. Refer to ASC 350-30-35-3 and 35-6. Note D DMP Partial Period Adjustment, page F-59 5. We note that the pro forma income statement information for DMP includes the full year ended September 30, 2018. Please revise your footnote to include additional quantitative and narrative disclosures about gross profit, selling and marketing expenses, and operating income of the period excluded from this pro forma presentation to inform readers about the effects of unusual charges or adjustment in the omitted period. In this regard we note that the period October 1, 2018 through December 14, 2018 has been omitted. Note E Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statement Adjustments, page F-59 6. Regarding adjustment (g), please explain why you are adjusting the income tax provision to include the impact on the earnings of Mayville. Please refer to Instruction 7 of Rule 11-02(b) of Regulation S-X. Robert D. Kamphuis Mayville Engineering Company, Inc.
