Accounting for the Transaction

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed, be recognized as goodwill. Preliminary results are included in the Company’s results from the acquisition date of May 1, 2019.

The Company’s preliminary allocation of the $2,475 purchase price to Smithers Avanza’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of May 1, 2019, is included in the table below. Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded customer base and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2019 is as follows:


	Allocation as of
	June 30, 2019
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Receivables	$	1,128
Property and equipment		1,564
Prepaid expenses		147
Intangible assets		545
Accrued expenses		(305)
Customer advances		(604)
	$	2,475

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. Intangible assets, including goodwill, from this transaction ar allocated to the Company’s Services segment.

The Company incurred transaction costs of $264 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 related to the Smithers Avanza Acquisition.
