ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of Accelerated Concepts, Inc. On January 22, 2018, we purchased all the outstanding stock of Accelerated Concepts, Inc. (“Accelerated”), a Tampa-based provider of secure, enterprise-grade, cellular (LTE) networking equipment for primary and backup connectivity applications. This acquisition is included within our IoT Products and Services segment. The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $16.4 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.2 million) was paid at the time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in two installments and the payment amount, if any, will be calculated based on the revenue performance of Accelerated products. The first installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2018 through January 21, 2019 (the “2018 period”) and the second installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2019 through January 21, 2020 (the “2019 period”). If certain revenue thresholds are met, the cumulative amount of these earn-outs will be $4.5 million. Additional payments, not to exceed $2.0 million for both installments, may also be due depending on revenue performance. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $2.3 million at the date of acquisition and $4.7 million at December 31, 2018 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We have determined that the fair value of the earn-out on the acquisition date will be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there are no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $5.7 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition was treated as a stock acquisition. The goodwill therefore was not deductible. We believe this was a complementary acquisition for us as it significantly enhanced our existing cellular product lines and immediately extended our market reach with a line of commercial routers and network appliance products. This acquisition further enhanced and expanded the capabilities of the IoT Products and Services segment (see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Operating results for Accelerated after January 22, 2018 are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The net working capital values were finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Acquisition of TempAlert LLC On October 20, 2017, we purchased all the outstanding interests of TempAlert LLC (“TempAlert”), a Boston-based provider of automated, real-time temperature monitoring and task management solutions.

We believe this was a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to further enhance and expand the capabilities of the IoT Solutions segment (see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $40.7 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.6 million) was paid at the time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid after December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 which is the end of the earn-out periods. The cumulative amount of these earn-outs for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, will not exceed $35.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively. The fair value of this contingent consideration was zero at the date of acquisition and at December 31, 2018 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $17.6 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill was deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this was a complementary acquisition for us and provided a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused solutions business. Operating results for TempAlert after October 20, 2017 are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
