Note 2 — Acquisition

On September 18, 2014, PAR Technology Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ParTech, Inc. ("ParTech"), entered into and closed a definitive agreement with Brink Software Inc. ("Brink") and all the shareholders of Brink pursuant to which ParTech has purchased the equity interest of Brink in a two-step closing.  This acquisition was to expand the Company’s cloud based POS software offerings to complement the Company’s existing infrastructure. The guaranteed portion of the purchase price for Brink’s shares will total $10 million in cash, which is payable over a period of three years with $5.0 million paid at closing, $3.0 million payable on the first year anniversary of close, and $2.0 million payable on the second year anniversary of close.  In addition to the guaranteed payments, there is a contingent consideration of up to $7.0 million payable to the former owners of Brink based on the achievement of certain conditions as defined in the definitive agreement.  

The payment of $5.0 million on September 18, 2014, was for the purchase of 51% of Brink’s outstanding shares. The remaining 49% will be purchased and transferred on September 18, 2015, the first anniversary of the initial closing date, for a purchase price of $5.0 million, $3.0 million of which will be payable at the second closing and the $2.0 million balance will be payable on September 18, 2016.  The Company has a current note payable included within the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $3.0 million for payment at the second close.  The estimated fair value of the long term portion of the note payable due on September 18, 2016 is approximately $1.8 million and is included within long-term debt in PAR’s consolidated balance sheet.  Per the stock purchase agreement, Brink shareholders assigned their voting rights of the remaining 49% of Brink shares to PAR.  As a result, PAR controls 100% of the Brink shares and fully consolidates the financial results of Brink in accordance with ASC Topic 805.  The agreement also provides for up to $1.0 million of the purchase price to be delivered into escrow if one or more claims arise within the first twelve months of the transaction. Such escrow will serve as a source of payment for any indemnification obligations that may arise. 

The contingent purchase price maximum of $7.0 million can be earned through fiscal year 2018, based upon the achievement of certain conditions as defined in the definitive agreement.  The estimated fair value of this contingent consideration is approximately $5.0 million and is included within non-current liabilities in PAR’s consolidated balance sheet (see note 12). 

In determining the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, market participants’ intentions to use the acquired assets and the historical and estimated future demand for the acquired Brink POS cloud based point of sale application.As of September 18, 2014, the Company recorded an aggregate purchase price of $14.9 million, including a cash payment of $5.0 million, net of cash acquired of $184,000, plus additional estimated cash payments of $9.9 million, which represents the fair value of the remaining consideration.  
 
The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company based on their fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded to goodwill.  The following table summarizes our allocation of purchase price (in thousands):

The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based on the estimated cash flows generated from such assets.  The Company recognized approximately $279,000 of amortization expense related to the amortizable intangible assets at December 31, 2014 based on the aforementioned estimates.
