Business Combinations
 
RadioPulse, Inc.
 
On
May 1, 2015,
we acquired RadioPulse, Inc., or RadioPulse, for a total consideration of
$15.7
million. Based in South Korea, RadioPulse is a fabless semiconductor company that develops, manufactures and sells wireless network technology solutions based on the ZigBee® protocol, which combines microcontrollers and radio frequency devices. RadioPulse’s solutions are designed to enable a broad range of power-sensitive applications in the industrial, medical, consumer, smart grid and Internet of Things, or IoT, markets. RadioPulse offers a product portfolio complementary to our product lines. The consideration included cash consideration paid at closing of
$14.7
million and
$1.0
million related to an adjustment to eliminate debt owed to us for funds advanced prior to closing. The acquisition also included potential earnout payments aggregating up to
$6.0
million based on certain financial thresholds related to net revenues, gross profit and net income in calendar years
2015,
2016
and
2017.
Based on our valuation, the fair value of the liability for the earnout payment at the acquisition date was estimated to be
nil.
The fair value of the liability for the earnout payment has
not
changed since the initial valuation. In connection with the acquisition, we incurred and expensed
$248,000
in legal and consulting costs and
$249,000
in acquisition-related compensation costs during fiscal
2016.

December 31, 2016
upon the completion of the research and development activities of the corresponding projects.
 
The value reflected in the table represents the purchase price allocation. The valuation of the acquired intangibles was classified as a level
3
measurement under the fair value measurement guidance because the valuation was based on significant unobservable inputs and involved management judgment and assumptions about market participants and pricing. We did
not
recognize any liability with respect to the contingent consideration based upon our analysis.
 
In determining the fair value of the acquired intangible assets, we determined the appropriate unit of measure, the exit market and the highest and best use for the assets. The income approach was used to estimate the fair value. The income approach indicates the fair value of an asset based on the value of the cash flows that the asset can be expected to generate in the future through a discounted cash flow method. The income approach was used to determine the fair values of developed intellectual property, in-process research and development expenses, contract backlog and customer relationships. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was largely attributable to the synergies expected to be realized after our acquisition and integration of RadioPulse and to the workforce acquired in the transaction. The goodwill is
not
deductible for tax purposes.
 
During the quarter ended
December 31, 2016,
the intangible assets resulting from the RadioPulse acquisition were determined to be fully impaired and an impairment charge of
$1.4
million was recognized. See Note
7,
“Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for further discussion of the impairment analysis of goodwill and intangible assets and the related charges recorded.
 
RadioPulse contributed net revenues of
$4.1
million, from the date of purchase,
May 1, 2015
to our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2016.
The net loss of RadioPulse included in our operating results for the year ended
March 31, 2016
was
$3.6
million, based on the purchase consideration valuation. The results of operations and financial position of RadioPulse were immaterial compared to our financial statements and therefore pro-forma financial statements have
not
been separately presented.
 
Other Acquisition
 
In the quarter ended
June 30, 2014,
we completed a business acquisition for a cash consideration of
$2.3
million, net of cash acquired of approximately
$204,000.
The acquisition resulted in a goodwill of
$2.8
million and we assumed debt of
$723,000.
At
March 31, 2017,
this goodwill balance reflected a cumulative reduction of
$605,000
caused by changes in the foreign exchange translation rate. This acquisition was
not
significant to our consolidated financial statements.
