2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

SHFL entertainment, Inc.

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 the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Long-Term Debt). The Acquisition has provided the Company with a more diversified suite of products and has increased its product development talent. Additionally, the Acquisition has achieved 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 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). In particular, the Company is still evaluating the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets and finalizing the accounting for income taxes.

	(in 000s)
Current assets	$	172,217
Property, plant and equipment	31,409
Leased gaming equipment	34,647
Goodwill	824,185
Purchased intangible assets	510,627
Other assets	10,662
Total assets	1,583,747
Current liabilities	37,977
Deferred income tax liabilities	160,309
Other long-term liabilities	3,056
Total liabilities	201,342
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.

Included in core technology and content above, 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. The discount rates utilized to estimate the fair value of these intangible assets ranged from 8.5% to 11.0%.

Trademark and 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 royalty rates and discount rates utilized to estimate the fair value of these intangible assets ranged from 3% to 15%, and 9.5% to 15%, respectively.

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”. Cash flows attributable to the customer relationships were discounted at a rate of 10.5%.

Dragonplay, Ltd.

On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Dragonplay Ltd. (“Dragonplay”), an online social casino company headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company funded the transaction from cash on hand and proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility. This acquisition establishes the Company’s position in social gaming and provides added distribution channels for the Company’s slot and table game content.

Total initial consideration included $51.3 million cash plus $34.9 million for net working capital. Additional earn-out consideration and employee retention payments, not to exceed $48.7 million, may be due over the following 18 months subject to achievement of certain financial performance targets.

The Company utilized the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the earn-out consideration of $10.0 million.

The total purchase consideration for Dragonplay was preliminarily allocated as follows:

	(in 000s)
Tangible assets	$	37,792
Goodwill (non-deductible for tax purposes)	33,062
