2.BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS



Robert Gregory Partners, LLC



On May 15, 2017, we acquired the assets of Robert Gregory Partners, LLC (RGP), a Dublin, Ohio based corporate coaching firm, for $3.5 million in cash plus potential contingent consideration totaling $4.5 million.  Robert Gregory Partners is a corporate coaching firm with expertise in executive coaching, transition acceleration coaching, leadership development coaching, implementation coaching, and consulting.  We believe that the acquired RGP services and methodologies have become important offerings in our training and consulting business.  The financial results of RGP have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

The goodwill generated from the RGP acquisition was allocated to each of our operating segments.  The goodwill was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of RGP’s coaching methodologies into our services and offerings.  All of the goodwill from the RGP acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.



The payment of contingent consideration is based on the achievement of specified financial results and the delivery of “add-on coaching services” content that is included in our All Access Pass offering.  We paid the former owners of RGP $1.0 million during fiscal 2018 as contingent consideration for achieving specified financial results.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we paid the former owners of RGP $0.5 million of contingent consideration for delivery of the content that was integrated into our AAP offering.  Due to the timing of the $0.5 million payment for add-on coaching services, this amount was included in the investing activities section of the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal 2017.    Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding the fair value of the contingent consideration liability resulting from the RGP acquisition.

Our fiscal 2017 consolidated statement of operations include $1.2 million of revenue and $0.4 million of income from operations, excluding amortization of intangible assets, attributable to RGP since the date of the acquisition.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, RGP had revenues of $3.3 million (unaudited) and operating income of $1.1 million (unaudited).  The costs to acquire RGP totaled approximately $0.1 million and were expensed as components of selling, general, and administrative expense in our consolidated financial statements.



Jhana Education



On July 11, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Jhana Education (Jhana), a San Francisco based company that specializes in the creation and dissemination of relevant, bite-sized content and learning tools for leaders and managers.  The acquired Jhana content and delivery methodologies have become key features of our current AAP offering.  The purchase price was $3.5 million in cash plus up to $7.2 million of contingent consideration.  The financial results of Jhana have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

The goodwill from the Jhana acquisition was assigned to the Direct Offices, Strategic Markets, and International Licensee segments (Note 4).  The goodwill was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of Jhana’s content and delivery methodologies into our services and offerings, especially in the All Access Pass.  None of the goodwill from the Jhana acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.



During fiscal 2018, we paid $2.4 million to the former owners of Jhana as contingent consideration based on the acquisition agreement.  The first $1.1 million was paid within 90 days of the acquisition date and was classified as a component of cash flows from investing activities in our fiscal 2018 consolidated statement of cash flows.  The payment of the remaining contingent consideration is based on certain revenue streams over the measurement period, which ends in July 2026.  Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the Jhana acquisition.



The acquisition of Jhana had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017.  For the year ending December 31, 2016, Jhana had revenues of $1.6 million (unaudited) and a loss before income taxes of $3.1 million (unaudited).  The costs to acquire Jhana totaled approximately $0.1 million and were expensed as incurred.  The acquisition costs were included in our selling, general, and administrative expenses.

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable.  They are not the results that would have been realized had we been a combined company during the periods presented, and are not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations in future periods.  The pro forma results include adjustments related to purchase accounting, primarily the amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and inclusion of acquisition costs.
