Acquisitions
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares and 100% of the preferred shares of MediaMiser. These shares represent substantially all of the economic ownership interest of MediaMiser. A MediaMiser Employee Trust will retain special voting shares equivalent to 50% of the voting rights in MediaMiser for the term specified in the articles of amalgamation of MediaMiser. The Trustees of the MediaMiser Employee Trust are the former and continuing management of MediaMiser. MediaMiser is an Ottawa, Canada-based provider of automated, real-time traditional and social media monitoring services. The Company believes its global infrastructure will provide a base from which MediaMiser will expand into newer geographical markets as well as penetrate further into its existing market. The Company also believes that MediaMiser will enable the Company to expand in areas of Big Data and user generated content.
 
The purchase price for the acquisition aggregated $5.2 million ($5.4 million on a constant currency basis) of non-contingent consideration, plus up to a maximum of $4.6 million of contingent consideration. The acquisition was made on a debt-free basis. Of the non-contingent portion of the purchase price, $4.1 million was paid by the Company in cash at closing; $0.5 million was paid by the Company on July 28, 2015 in shares of Innodata Inc.’s common stock; and $0.6 million is payable by the Company on July 28, 2016 in shares of Innodata Inc.’s common stock, or at the Company’s option, in cash. The contingent portion of the purchase price is a potential earn-out of up to $4.6 million based on MediaMiser’s revenues and Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) during the period from April 1, 2016 until March 31, 2017. The contingent consideration, if earned, is payable in May 2017 in cash, or at the Company’s option, in up to 70% in Innodata Inc.’s common stock, with the balance in cash. Shares of Innodata Inc.’s common stock will be valued for any payment at the weighted average closing price for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the payment is due.

As this acquisition was effective on July 28, 2014, the results of operations of MediaMiser are included in the consolidated financial statements for the period beginning July 29, 2014. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

The estimated fair value of the developed technology and trademarks and tradenames intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the cost savings that are available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the assets from another owner. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the “excess earnings method” under the income approach, which represents the total income to be generated by the asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value of the customer relationships, developed technology and trademarks and tradenames, at the acquisition date, was 19%. The remaining useful lives of the developed technology and trademarks and tradenames were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer relationships were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these clients.
 
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation was determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2015 was $0.5 million and the Company has recorded this amount in accrued expenses on the consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
The amounts assigned to developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names are amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years, 12 years and 10 years, respectively. The weighted average life over which these acquired intangibles will be amortized is approximately 11 years.
 
The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price from its available overseas cash on hand. Transaction expenses amounted to $0.1 million and have been expensed.
 
On December 23, 2014, the Company acquired intellectual property and related assets of Bulldog Reporter from Sirius Information, Inc. Bulldog Reporter has provided PR industry newsletters, a journalist database, media intelligence and professional development programs for over 30 years. Both MediaMiser and Bulldog Reporter clients will benefit from the combined product offerings. The Company expects that Bulldog Reporter business will accelerate the product development cycle for certain products and further penetration into the U.S. market for the MIS service offering. The assets acquired included the Daily Dog, the Bulldog Awards, Inside Health Media, Media Pro, and certain leading industry books and publications. The estimated fair value of trademarks and tradenames amounted to $320,000 and deferred revenues of $160,000. The amount assigned to trademarks and tradenames is amortized over the estimated useful life of 5 years.
