NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

 

Each of the following acquisitions has been treated as a business combination for accounting purposes. The results of operations of each acquired business has been included in our consolidated financial statements since the respective date of each acquisition.

 

Intific

 

On February 28, 2014 we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Intific Inc. (Intific). Intific is focused on software and game-based solutions in modeling and simulation, training and education, cyber warfare, and neuroscience. The acquisition of Intific expands the portfolio of services and customer base of our Cubic Defense Systems (CDS) segment.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2014, the amounts of Intific’s sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $5.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Included in Intific’s operating results for the year ended September 30, 2014 are $0.2 million of transaction and acquisition related costs, and $3.7 million of compensation expense which was paid to Intific employees upon the close of the acquisition.

 

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $12.4 million. Through September 30, 2014, we have paid cash of approximately $11.2 million to the seller and as of September 30, 2014 we have accrued a liability of $1.2 million for the remaining cash to be paid.

The fair values of purchased intangibles were determined using the valuation methodology deemed to be the most appropriate for each type of asset being valued. The customer relationships and backlog valuation used the excess earnings approach and the technology valuation used the replacement cost approach.

 

The intangible assets will be amortized using a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods based on the expected cash flows from the assets, over a weighted average useful life of two years from the date of acquisition and the amortization expense is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The net deferred tax assets and liabilities offset each other to a negligible amount.  However the deferred tax liabilities of $1.5 million were primarily recorded to reflect the tax impact of amortization related to identified intangible assets that is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, net of acquisition consideration that is a tax deductible expense. The deferred tax assets of $1.5 million primarily related to the future tax deduction for the cancellation of unvested options.

 

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists primarily of the synergies expected from combining the operations of Intific with our existing CDS business and the acquired assembled workforce. The anticipated synergies include the ability to expand services offerings and cost reductions. The amount recorded as goodwill is allocated to our CDS segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The estimated amortization expense related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of Intific for future periods is as follows (in millions):

ITMS

 

On November 26, 2013 we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Intelligent Transport Management Solutions Limited (ITMS) from Serco Limited. ITMS is a provider of traffic management systems technology, traffic and road enforcement and maintenance of traffic signals, emergency equipment and other critical road and tunnel infrastructure. The acquisition of ITMS expands the portfolio of services and customer base of our Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) segment.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2014, the amounts of ITMS’ sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $43.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Included in ITMS’ operating results are $0.5 million of transaction costs incurred during the year ended September 30, 2014.

 

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $72.2 million. We paid the seller cash of $69.0 million in November 2013 and in May 2014, we paid the remaining cash of $3.2 million.

The fair values of purchased intangibles were determined using the valuation methodology deemed to be the most appropriate for each type of asset being valued. The customer relationships and backlog valuation used the excess earnings approach and the non-compete agreement and seller agreements valuations used the with and without approach. The supplier relationship and intellectual property valuations used the replacement cost approach.

 

The intangible assets will be amortized using a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods based on the expected cash flows from the assets, over a weighted average useful life of two years from the date of acquisition. Future amortization of approximately $19.5 million of purchased intangibles is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists primarily of the synergies expected from combining the operations of ITMS with our existing CTS business and the acquired assembled workforce. The anticipated synergies include the ability to expand services offerings and cost reductions. The amount recorded as goodwill is allocated to our CTS segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

AIS

 

On July 1, 2013 we acquired certain assets of Advanced Interactive Systems (AIS) and all of the capital stock of its foreign subsidiaries through a bankruptcy auction. AIS is a supplier of live fire specialized range facilities, virtual simulation products, engineering design and project management services for counter-terrorism, law enforcement and military forces worldwide. For the year ended September 30, 2014 the amount of AIS’ sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $8.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2013 the amount of AIS’ sales and net income after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $2.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

 

We paid cash of $2.0 million from our existing cash resources, net of cash acquired, for the assets of AIS.

NextBus

 

On January 24, 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of NextBus, Inc. (NextBus) from Webtech Wireless, Inc. NextBus provides products and services to transit agencies which provide real-time passenger information to transit passengers, expanding the portfolio of services and customer base of our CTS segment. For the year ended September 30, 2014 the amount of NextBus’ sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $10.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  For the year ended September 30, 2013 the amount of NextBus’ sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $7.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The fair values of purchased intangibles were determined using the valuation methodology deemed to be the most appropriate for each type of asset being valued. Each of the valuation methodologies used were various methods under the income approach. The customer relationships and backlog valuations used the excess earnings approach. The trade names and technology valuations used the relief from royalty approach.

 

The net deferred tax liabilities were primarily recorded to reflect the tax impact of the identified intangible assets that will not generate tax deductible amortization expense.

 

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists primarily of the synergies expected from combining the operations of NextBus and our CTS business and the acquired assembled workforce. The anticipated synergies include the ability to expand services offerings and cost reductions. The amount recorded as goodwill is allocated to our CTS segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The intangible assets are being amortized using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods based on the expected cash flows from the assets, over a weighted average useful life of 5 years from the date of acquisition. The estimated amortization expense related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of NextBus for future periods is as follows (in millions):

NEK

 

On December 14, 2012, Cubic acquired from NEK Advanced Securities Group, Inc. (Seller) the customer contracts and operating assets of NEK Special Programs Group LLC (NEK), which consists of the Seller’s Special Operation Forces training business based in Fayetteville, North Carolina and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2014 the amount of NEK’s sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $45.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2013 the amount of NEK’s sales and net loss after taxes included in our Consolidated Statement of Income were $31.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. NEK’s net loss after tax in 2013 excludes any allocation of the goodwill impairment described in Note 7 that is recognized at the reporting unit level. Included in our operating results are $0.6 million in transaction related costs incurred during the year ended September 30, 2013 related to the NEK acquisition.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred is $52.6 million, which has been paid to the seller in cash from our existing cash resources.  Of the $52.6 million of cash consideration that was paid to the Seller, $2.4 million paid in fiscal 2014 and $7.8 million paid in fiscal 2013 were contingent upon certain events that occurred between the acquisition date and September 30, 2014, including the novation of certain of the Seller’s contracts to NEK.

The fair values of purchased intangibles were determined using the valuation methodology deemed to be the most appropriate for each type of asset being valued. Each of the valuation methodologies used were various methods under the income approach. The trade names valuation used the relief from royalty approach. The customer relationships valuation used the excess earnings approach and the non-compete agreements valuation used the with and without approach. The intangible assets are being amortized using a combination of straight-line and accelerated methods based on the expected cash flows from the assets, over a weighted average useful life of four years from the date of acquisition.

 

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists primarily of the synergies expected from combining the operations of NEK and our Mission Support Services (MSS) business and the acquired assembled workforce. The anticipated synergies include the ability to expand services offerings and cost reductions. The amount recorded as goodwill is allocated to our MSS segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
