Acquisitions | 8. Acquisitions In October 2012, we completed an acquisition in Australia for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. In advance of the acquisition closing, we transferred a portion of the purchase price in the amount of $1.2 million in cash to a third party in September 2012. This purchase price advance is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other assets” and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows within “Other investing activities.” The purchase price includes initial consideration with an approximate value of $25 million plus acquisition-related contingent consideration, which is payable annually through December 31, 2017 if the acquired business meets certain performance measures, and is subject to an approximate $16 million aggregate cap. The results of the acquired business will be included in our consolidated results of operations beginning on October 2, 2012, the date of the completion of the acquisition, and therefore are not included in our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We are currently evaluating the fair values of the consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In March 2012, we completed an acquisition in the United States for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. The acquisition price of $3.1 million consisted of $2.0 million in cash and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration is recorded in “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As part of the purchase price allocation, we recorded $0.9 million in identifiable intangible assets and $2.2 million in goodwill. In March 2011, we completed acquisitions of certain practices of LECG Corporation (“LECG”) in Europe, the United States and Latin America with services relating to those provided through our Economic Consulting, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, and Corporate Finance/Restructuring segments. The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred is approximately $30.0 million, which consisted of $27.1 million of cash paid at the closings of these acquisitions and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $2.9 million. As part of the purchase price allocation, we recorded an aggregate of $24.2 million of accounts receivable, $6.3 million of identifiable intangible assets, $20.6 million of assumed liabilities and $14.8 million of goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of customer relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 12.4 years. Aggregate acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.5 million have been recognized in earnings in 2011. Certain acquisition-related restricted stock agreements entered into prior to January 1, 2009 contain stock price guarantees that may result in cash payments in the future if our share price falls below a specified per share market value on the date that the applicable stock restrictions lapse (the “determination date”). For those acquisitions, the future settlement of any contingency related to our common stock price will be recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid $3.6 million in cash in relation to the stock price guarantees on certain shares of common stock that became unrestricted, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not make any stock price guarantee payments during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our remaining common stock price guarantee provisions have stock floor prices that range from $54.33 to $69.48 per share and have determination dates through 2013.
