NSPI

 

In June 2010, Sarcom, Inc, our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Network Services Plus, Inc. (“NSPI”). NSPI, primarily a provider of hosted data center and managed IT services in the southeastern United States, had approximately 73 employees as of the closing date, 53 of whom are billable IT resources. The terms of the transaction included an initial purchase price of $7.8 million, less a customary hold-back to settle possible indemnity claims. In addition, we extinguished substantially all of NSPI’s indebtedness that existed immediately prior to the closing date of our acquisition. We have recorded identifiable intangible assets of $2.6 million related to customer relationships, $0.5 million related to trademarks and $0.3 million related to a non-compete agreement, with estimated useful lives of 10, 10 and 4 years, respectively. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, NSPI’s shareholders can earn additional consideration based on the performance of the NSPI business over the next two years, up to a total of approximately $5.2 million. In accordance with ASC 805, based on an initial valuation of the fair value of the contingent consideration, we recorded additional goodwill and a corresponding liability of $3.2 million for future earnout payments. Such valuation was based upon management’s initial forecasts of expected profitability of NSPI during the earnout period. As of June 30, 2011, management updated its forecasts of expected profitability of NSPI during the earnout period, and lowered the future earnout liability to $2.4 million, resulting in a $0.8 million reduction of general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2011. These forecasts will be updated, if necessary, in future periods with adjustments reflected in our consolidated statement of operations.
