In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assumed the Buffalo Group's debt of approximately $7.7 million.

The acquisition of Buffalo Group allows Jacobs to further expand its cyber and intelligence solutions offering to government clients.

The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional information is obtained. Goodwill recognized results from a substantial assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. All of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, given the acquisition was structured as an asset acquisition. The Company has not completed its final assessment of the fair values of Buffalo Group's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation could result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill. Identifiable intangibles are customer relationships, contracts and backlog and have estimated lives of 9 years. Fair value measurements relating to the Buffalo Group are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is estimated using inputs primarily for the income approach, which include the use of both the multiple period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) the estimated life the asset will contribute to cash flows, such as attrition rate of customers or remaining contractual terms, (ii) profitability and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. Other personal property assets, such as furniture, fixtures and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and the significant assumptions used include projections of revenues for Buffalo Group through fiscal 2021 and probabilities of meeting those projections.
