2. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On November 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of SHFL entertainment, Inc. (“SHFL”) for total purchase consideration of $1.38 billion (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded primarily from proceeds of a new Term Loan B and borrowings from our existing Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Long-Term Debt). The Acquisition has provided the Company with a more diversified suite of products and is anticipated to increase its product development talent. Additionally, the Acquisition is expected to achieve synergies, including, but not limited to, cost savings from economies of scale, more efficient supply chain and distribution channels and the acceleration of revenue through greater access to international markets.

The total purchase consideration for SHFL was as follows:

	(in 000s)
Total purchase price for SHFL common stock (56,626 shares at $23.25 per share)	$	1,316,554
Payments in respect of SHFL stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and restricted share performance units	46,099
Repayments of SHFL debt and other obligations	19,752
Total purchase consideration	$	1,382,405

The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of SHFL.

The Company recognized Acquisition-related costs of $6.2 million and $33.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. These costs were recorded as selling, general and administrative in the statement of operations. The Company also incurred debt issuance costs of $22.5 million, which were recorded in other long-term assets as well as $10.5 million of original issue discount fees recorded as a discount to long-term debt.

The information below reflects preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on assumptions and estimates related to fair value that are subject to change as additional information may become available during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). Specifically, the Company is still evaluating the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets and finalizing the accounting for income taxes. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company continued to refine the preliminary purchase price allocation and presentation of the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, immaterial adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation which impacted goodwill, current assets, and deferred tax balances as well as the classification of certain elements of property, plant and equipment.

	(in 000s)
Current assets	$	172,375
Property, plant and equipment	31,409
Leased gaming equipment	34,647
Goodwill	821,373
Purchased intangible assets	510,627
Other assets	10,662
Total assets	1,581,093

Current liabilities	37,977
Deferred income tax liabilities	157,655
Other long-term liabilities	3,056
Total liabilities	198,688
Net assets acquired	$	1,382,405

Receivables acquired of $63.9 million (including approximately $16.1 million of trade receivables with contract terms greater than one year and $4.3 million of lease receivables) were valued at their fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs, which fair value approximates the gross contractual amounts receivable.

Inventory acquired totaling $41.0 million was valued at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs based on model-based valuations for which all significant inputs and value drivers are observable.

The following table summarizes acquired tangible and intangible assets. These values are preliminary and may change as the purchase price allocation is finalized.

	Useful Life (Years)	Estimated Fair Value (in 000s)
Property, plant and equipment
Land	Indefinite	$	4,673
Buildings and leasehold improvements	5 — 40	17,750
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3 — 7	8,986
Property, plant and equipment		$	31,409

Leased gaming equipment
Leased gaming equipment	3 — 5	$	34,647

The fair value of property, plant and equipment and leased gaming equipment was determined using market data for similar assets (Level 2).

	Useful Life (Years)	Estimated Fair Value
		(in 000s)
Purchased intangible assets
Computer Software	2 — 3	$	2,669
License Rights	12	1,958
Core technology and content (1)	4 — 18	456,000
Customer relationships	7	43,000
Trademark	5	7,000
Intangible assets		$	510,627

(1) Includes $46 million of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets that are not yet subject to amortization until they reach commercial feasibility.

EGMs and table game products content and IPR&D assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). This method calculates the value based on the risk-adjusted present value of the cash flows specific to the content and products, allowing for a reasonable return.

Trademark, core technology for the EGM and Electronic Table System (“ETS”) operating systems, and table game products were valued using the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). The relief-from-royalty method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rate for similar assets.

The customer relationships were valued using a with-or-without method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). In this method, fair value is measured by the lost profits associated with the period of time necessary to reacquire the customers. The method involves a comparison of the cash flows assuming as if the customer relationships were in place versus as if the customer relationships were to be created “from scratch”.

The following table includes the financial results for SHFL included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date of November 25, 2013:

The following table includes unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information assuming the Acquisition occurred as of July 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information is for information purposes only and does not necessarily represent the results that may occur in the future. The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of the Company and SHFL prior to the Acquisition, with adjustments directly attributable to the Acquisition. The pro forma results include increases to depreciation and amortization expense based on the purchased intangible assets and the step-up in basis associated with tangible assets acquired, increases to cost of gaming equipment and systems related to the step-up in basis associated with inventory as well as increases to interest expense, related to debt issued to fund the Acquisition.

Also reflected in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 is an adjustment for the impact of one-time Acquisition costs related to the Company’s financial advisory fees, legal fees, payroll and related expenses, debt fees, other consulting and professional fees, and accounting, valuation and advisory fees of $34.1 million; $6.2 million and $33.1 million of which have been removed from the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. All adjustments utilize an effective tax rate of 35.5%.

The pro forma amounts exclude $17.4 million of one-time Acquisition costs related to SHFL’s financial advisory and legal fees and $12.0 million in stock-based compensation associated with the acceleration of vesting of share based awards upon the change in control.
