Brian Atwood

On July 2, 2012, we acquired an 80% interest in Brian Atwood-related intellectual property (the "intellectual property") from BA Holding Group, Inc., BKA International, Inc. and Brian Atwood, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Atwood Italia S.r.l., and we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Brian Atwood, Ltd. (collectively, "Brian Atwood").  The purchase price was $5.5 million, of which $5.0 million was paid in 2012.  We deferred $0.5 million of the purchase price, with payment subject to an indemnification holding period as set forth in the acquisition agreement, which was paid during the fiscal six months ended July 6, 2013.

The remaining 20% interest in the intellectual property was recorded as a noncontrolling interest, with the fair value based on projected cash flows related to that property.  Brian Atwood has the right, under certain conditions, to require us to repurchase a portion of his noncontrolling ownership interest at a predetermined multiple of the previous year's distributable cash flows generated by the intellectual property.

We pursued the acquisition of Brian Atwood to increase our international presence and further extend our reach into the designer footwear business.  Brian Atwood's luxury wholesale footwear business is reported in our international wholesale segment.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Brian Atwood on July 2, 2012.

The gross contractual accounts receivable acquired from Brian Atwood was $0.5 million.

The fair values of the acquired intangibles were determined using discounted cash flow models using a discount factor based on an estimated risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital.  The customer relationships were valued using a "with and without" model, the trademarks using a relief-from-royalty model and the order backlog using multi-period excess earnings model.
 
The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $3.2 million of goodwill, which will not be deductible for tax purposes.  Goodwill largely consists of expected synergies resulting from the leveraging of the combined networks of partners, infrastructure and customer relationships to expand product distribution worldwide, as well as the acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an amortizable intangible asset, and the potential for both product extensions, such as apparel, and the introduction of Brian Atwood retail locations.  The goodwill has been assigned to our domestic wholesale footwear and accessories segment, as we pursued the acquisition to acquire majority ownership interest in the Brian Atwood-related trademarks, under which our existing B Brian Atwood domestic footwear business is licensed.  Pro forma total revenues and results of operations reflecting the acquisition of Brian Atwood are not presented, as the acquisition is not material to our financial position or our results of operations.
