On March 9, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Laser Control Systems Limited (“Laser Control Systems”), a laser component technology business located in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, which specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced digital scan heads and laser software, for a purchase price of $1.7 million. This acquisition supports our Photonics vertical and our long-term strategy to expand our presence and product portfolio in Photonics applications. The results of Laser Control Systems’ operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

On March 16, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Photocore AG (“Photocore”), a vision-based 3D measurement application and software developer in Zurich, Switzerland, for a total purchase price of $2.4 million. This acquisition supports our Construction BIM vertical and our long-term strategy to improve our existing software offerings with innovative technology in photogrammetry. The results of PhotoCore’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

On July 6, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Lanmark Controls, Inc. (“Lanmark”), a high-speed laser marking control boards and laser marking software provider located in Acton, Massachusetts, for a purchase price of $6.3 million. This acquisition supports the development of components used in new 3D laser inspection product development in order to further expand the product portfolio of our Photonics vertical.

On July 13, 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding corporate capital of Opto-Tech SRL and its subsidiary Open Technologies SRL (collectively, “Open Technologies”), a 3D-structured light scanning solution company located in Brescia, Italy, for an aggregate purchase price of up to €18.5 million ($21.6 million), subject to post-closing adjustments based on actual net working capital, net financial position and transaction expenses. The aggregate purchase price included up to €4.0 million ($4.7 million) in contingent consideration that may be earned by the former owners if certain product development milestones are met. The U.S. Dollar amounts have been converted from Euros based on the foreign exchange rate in effect on the closing date of the acquisition. This acquisition supports our 3D Design vertical and our long-term strategy to establish a presence in 3D measurement technology used in other industries and applications, especially dental and medical. The results of Open Technologies’ operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
The acquisitions of Laser Control Systems, Photocore, Lanmark and Open Technologies constitute business combinations as defined by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for such acquisitions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, certain refinements were booked for the Open Technologies acquisition as part of the finalization process, which included a reduction of $2.6 million to the valuation of the customer relationship intangible and the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $1.9 million. Goodwill increased $4.5 million as result of these changes in the finalization process.
Following is a summary of our allocations of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of each acquisition:

Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, but are recorded as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. To date, we have incurred approximately $0.8 million in acquisition and integration costs for the Laser Control Systems, Photocore, Lanmark and Open Technologies acquisitions. Pro forma financial results for Laser Control Systems, Photocore, Lanmark and Open Technologies have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our consolidated financial results.
