Acquisitions
On June 7, 2012, we acquired ADS/Technology and Gaming, Ltd. ("ADS") for £3,450, subject to certain adjustments. ADS provides maintenance and other services for licensed betting offices in the U.K. We have integrated ADS into our existing Gaming business. We expect that the acquisition will allow us to expand our service offering. Approximately £2,200 of the £3,450 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to Goodwill. The operating results of ADS have been included in our Gaming segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of ADS been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2012, our pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would not have been materially different.
On June 8, 2012, we acquired the equity interests of Provoloto for approximately $9,720, subject to certain adjustments, including an estimated earn-out payable to the sellers of approximately $2,000 contingent on the future performance of the acquired business. Provoloto develops and distributes instant lottery tickets and manages instant ticket lotteries for Mexican charities. We expect this acquisition to strengthen our presence in Latin America and create a platform for further expansion in the region. Approximately $5,100 of the $9,720 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to Goodwill. The operating results of Provoloto have been included in our Printed Products segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of Provoloto been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2012, our pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would not have been materially different.
On July 19, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Parspro.com ehf ("Parspro") for approximately $11,800, subject to certain adjustments. Parspro is a provider of sports betting systems and related products via point of sale terminals, the internet and mobile devices. Approximately $9,900 of the $11,800 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to Goodwill. The acquired assets include technology that we expect to integrate into our Lottery Systems business and our interactive games platform as part of an expanded service offering to lottery customers. Had the operating results of Parspro been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2012, our pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would not have been materially different.
