Note 16 – Acquisitions

 

AWR Corporation

 

On June 30, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of AWR Corporation (AWR), a privately held company that is a leading supplier of electronic design automation software for designing radio frequency and high-frequency components and systems for the semiconductor, aerospace and defense, communications and test equipment industries. The acquisition is expected to improve customer productivity through increased interoperability between upfront design and validation and production test functions. The purchase price of the acquisition was $66 million consisting of $54 million in cash and a three-year earn-out arrangement. We funded the purchase price from existing cash balances.  The range of potential undiscounted payments that we could be required to make under the earn-out arrangement is between $0 and $29 million and are payable if AWR achieves certain revenue and operating income targets.  The fair value of the earn-out arrangement was estimated at $12 million using the income approach, the key assumptions of which included probability-weighted revenue and operating expense growth projections. In July 2012, the Company paid the amount due to the former AWR shareholders based on the first earn-out year performance of AWR. The amount paid was $3.3 million, and it is being recorded as a reduction of the earn-out liability. We re-measure the fair value of the earn-out liability each quarter and no adjustments have been recorded to date. 


 

The allocation of the purchase price was determined using the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as of June 30, 2011. The finalization of our purchase price allocation during the three months ended June 30, 2012 resulted in an increase in acquired deferred tax assets and a decrease in goodwill of approximately $1.6 million. Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results from the date of acquisition.  Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of those operations were not material. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of AWR:
