Note 4: Acquisitions

Equipment Management Technology, Inc.

On August 24, 2011, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”), we completed the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of specified post-closing liabilities of Equipment Management Technology, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“EMT”), for cash consideration of $10,673. EMT, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, was a provider of electronic T&M equipment. We acquired EMT in order to facilitate growth in our T&M business. EMT had previously filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. The sale was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 11, 2011, and the related sale order was issued on August 12, 2011. At closing, $500 was deposited into an escrow account for any post-closing adjustments that reduce the purchase price. We have accounted for the acquisition of EMT as a business combination in accordance with accounting guidance.

At August 31, 2011, we completed our estimates of the fair value of rental and lease equipment and deferred revenue. Due to the timing of the acquisition, we completed our evaluation of intangible assets and accounts receivable in our second quarter ending November 30, 2011. We acquired gross accounts receivable of $972, of which an estimated $430 is not expected to be collected, resulting in a fair value of $542. Under accounting guidance, a bargain purchase gain results if the fair value of the purchase consideration is less than the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We recorded a bargain purchase gain of $3,194, net of deferred taxes, related to our acquisition of EMT at August 31, 2011. We believe that we were able to negotiate a bargain purchase price as a result of our access to the liquidity necessary to complete the transaction and EMT’s recurring losses and recent bankruptcy filing.

The following table provides the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

The bargain purchase gain is classified separately in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition-related transaction costs of $0 and $55 were accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs were incurred and are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2012.

The acquisition of EMT was an asset purchase, and EMT’s operations were integrated with ours immediately after the acquisition date. Revenues and income before income taxes from the acquired assets included in our consolidated statements of operations were $1,527 and $948, respectively, and $3,524 and $1,912, respectively, for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2012, respectively.

 

During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2012, we increased the bargain purchase gain by $88 and $396 ($53 and $241, net of deferred tax), respectively, consisting of (i) $0 and $140, respectively, representing the estimated fair value of customer relationships acquired, (ii) $125 and $273, respectively, of post closing adjustments, which were disbursed from the escrow funds in accordance with the APA, offset by (iii) $37 and $17, respectively, representing the final determination of assets acquired and other components of the purchase price.

Supplemental pro forma information reflecting the acquisition of EMT as if it occurred on June 1, 2010 is not practicable because we are not able to obtain reliable historical financial information for 2010 and 2011, primarily due to a deterioration of the organization and controls leading up to and following the February 2011 bankruptcy filing.

Telogy, LLC

We recorded additional bargain purchase gain associated with our March 31, 2010 acquisition of Telogy LLC (“Telogy”) of $0 and $342 ($0 and $202, net of deferred tax), respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011. The increase in the bargain purchase gain consisted of (i) $0 and $260 respectively, representing the final determination of assets acquired and other components of the purchase price in accordance with specific provisions of the APA, and (ii) $0 and $82, respectively, resulting from a final determination of fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired from Telogy.
