E. Acquisitions

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in Cost of Revenue-License and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

Effective May 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with privately-held MID Retail, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“MRI”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MRI, a provider of retail allocation and merchandise planning solutions. This acquisition will expand and complement the products and services offered by Logility.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the capital stock for an effective purchase price of approximately $8,507,000 in cash plus a $678,000 working capital adjustment. Additional consideration is payable at the end of each 12-month period in the 24-month period following the closing date (such 24-month period being the “Earnout Period”) equal to 15% of the license fee revenues contracted for and recorded as revenue in accordance with GAAP by either MRI or the Company from the sale of MRI Software during such 12-month period, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 million over the Earnout Period. This additional consideration will be accounted for as post-combination services and, therefore, will be expensed as incurred. The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $282,000 during the year ended April 30, 2015. The operating results of MRI are not material for proforma disclosure. We allocated $4,930,000 of the total purchase price to goodwill, which has been assigned to the Supply Chain Management segment and is deductible for income tax purposes.

The following allocation of the total purchase price reflects the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 30, 2014 (in thousands):


				Useful Life
Cash	$	1,277
Accounts receivable, net		546
Current assets		35
Property and equipment, net		32
Other assets		505
Goodwill		4,930
Non-compete		290			3 years
Customer relationships		1,400			8 years
Current technology		1,500			3 years

Total Assets Acquired		10,515
Current liabilities		(825	)
Long-term liabilities		(505	)

Total liabilities assumed		(1,330	)

Net assets acquired	$	9,185

Non-compete agreements, customer relationships and current technology are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the assets, including the period being reported. The fair value of deferred revenues in a business combination is considered to be an assumed liability (which must arise from a legal performance obligation) and, accordingly, is estimated based on the direct cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin, which approximates fair value. Also, in practice, the normal profit margin is limited to the profit margin on the costs to provide the product or service (that is, the fulfillment effort).
