Acquisitions
On
May 18, 2017,
we acquired Z-Firm LLC (“ShipRush”), a US-based provider of e-commerce multi-carrier parcel shipping solutions for small-to medium-sized businesses. The ShipRush platform helps customers streamline their supply chain and reduce transportation costs by automatically importing orders, comparing carrier rates, printing shipping labels for all major carriers, and tracking through final delivery. The purchase price for the acquisition was
$14.2
million, net of cash acquired, which was funded using cash on hand. Additional contingent consideration of up to
$3.0
million in cash is payable if certain revenue performance targets are met by ShipRush in the
two
years following the acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued at
$1.2
million at the acquisition date. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was
$0.4
million with a fair value of
$0.4
million at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows
not
expected to be collected was nominal. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for certain taxation-related balances, accrued liability balances as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before
May 18, 2018.
 
On
June 1, 2017,
we acquired substantially all of the assets of PCSTrac, Inc., including certain related assets of Progressive Computer Services Inc., doing business as PCS Technologies (collectively referred to as “PCSTrac”). US-based PCSTrac helps specialty retailers and their logistics service providers collaborate to improve carton-level visibility for shipments from distribution centers to stores. PCSTrac’s solutions provide visibility and insight into the store replenishment supply chain, helping increase sales, enhance loss prevention, and improve inventory control. The total purchase price for the acquisition was
$11.5
million, net of cash acquired, which was funded using cash on hand. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was
$0.4
million with a fair value of
$0.4
million at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows
not
expected to be collected was nominal. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for certain taxation-related balances, accrued liability balances as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before
June 1, 2018.
 
On
August 14, 2017,
we acquired MacroPoint LLC (“MacroPoint”), an electronic transportation network providing location-based truck tracking and predictive freight capacity data content. US-based MacroPoint runs a connected network helping transportation brokers, logistics service providers and shippers track the locations of deliveries in trucks as well as predictive freight capacity to help identify early opportunities for additional freight moves. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately
$106.2
million, net of cash acquired, which was funded using
$20.0
million of our common shares,
$80.0
million from drawing on our credit facility and the balance from cash on hand. The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was
$2.0
million with a fair value of
$2.0
million at the date of acquisition. Our acquisition date estimate of contractual cash flows
not
expected to be collected was nominal. The completion of the initial purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for certain taxation-related balances, accrued liability balances as well as potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation on or before
August 14, 2018.
 
For the businesses acquired during fiscal
2018,
we incurred acquisition-related costs of
$0.9
million. The acquisition-related costs were primarily for advisory services and are included in other charges in our consolidated statements of operations. During
2018,
we have recognized
aggregate revenues of
$12.6
million, respectively, and aggregate net income of
$0.6
million, respectively, from ShipRush, PCSTrac
and MacroPoint since the date of acquisition in our consolidated statements of operations.

The above transactions were accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic

“Business Combinations”. The purchase price allocations in the table above represents our estimates of the allocations of the purchase price and the fair value of net assets acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocations
may
differ from the final purchase price allocations, and these differences
may
be material. Revisions to the allocations will occur as additional information about the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. The final purchase price allocations will be completed within
one
year from the acquisition dates.
 
The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:
