BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Uniqarta

On January 19, 2021, Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Uniqarta, Inc. (“Uniqarta”) and its equity holders to purchase all of Uniqarta’s outstanding equity interests. Upon the closing of the acquisition, Uniqarta became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Uniqarta is a developer of laser transfer technology and the acquisition expands the Company’s presence in the LED end market.

The purchase price consisted of $26.5 million in cash paid at closing. The acquisition of Uniqarta was accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method.

On January 19, 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Uniqarta and no further adjustment was recorded. On July 15, 2022, the Company released the escrow amount of $3.5 million to the seller in respect of Uniqarta’s completion of its post-closing obligations under the Agreement.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the acquisition date:


(in thousands)	January 19, 2021

Accounts and other receivable	$	7
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	6
Property, plant and equipment, net	539
Goodwill	16,799
Intangible assets	11,200
Accounts payable	(77)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(98)
Deferred tax liabilities	(2,038)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	26,338

Tangible net assets (liabilities) were valued at their respective carrying amounts, which the Company believes approximate their current fair values at the acquisition date.

The valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, representing in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and others, reflects management’s estimates based on, among other factors, the use of an established valuation method. The intangible assets are valued using a cost replacement method. As of October 2, 2021, the IPR&D intangible asset of $9.0 million is not amortized, but rather is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present, until the project is completed, abandoned, or transferred to a third party. As of October 1, 2022, the IPR&D were transferred to developed technology (definite-lived intangible assets) as the research and development process was completed. The other intangible assets acquired of $2.2 million and the IPR&D are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and the estimated useful life of six years. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and includes the value of expected future cash flows of Uniqarta from expected synergies with our other affiliates and other unidentifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

In connection with the acquisition of Uniqarta, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities primarily relating to the acquired intangible assets, which are partially offset by the acquired tax attributes. The acquired tax attributes are comprised of net operating losses and research and development credits.

For the year ended October 2, 2021, the acquired business contributed a net loss of $0.2 million.

During fiscal 2021, the Company incurred $1.7 million of expenses related to the acquisition, which is included within selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisition had been completed on September 29, 2019, the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The unaudited pro forma results include: (i) amortization associated with preliminary estimates for the acquired intangible assets; and (ii) the associated tax impact on the unaudited pro forma adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any cost saving synergies from operating efficiencies or the effect of the incremental costs incurred in integrating the two companies. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations:
