Acquisitions Acquisitions
Revvsales, Inc.
In October 2022, we completed an asset acquisition of Revvsales Inc, or Revv, consisting substantially of acquired developed technology for their self-service document automation and electronic signature platform. Revv’s proprietary technology will enhance our forms library and legal template offerings and will be used to develop modern product experiences and services for small businesses. A purchase price of $6.6 million, which is subject to customary adjustments, was paid at closing and funded by our available cash on hand. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all the value of the assets acquired were concentrated in the acquired technology. Revv’s operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.
We allocated the accumulated cost of the acquisition to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values. The accumulated cost of the acquisition includes direct acquisition-related costs and applicable taxes. The estimated fair value of developed technology was $6.5 million and an assembled workforce of $0.1 million, which were determined by using a replacement cost approach. The replacement cost approach consists of developing an estimate of the current cost of a similar new asset having the nearest equivalent utility to the asset being valued. The developed technology rights and assembled workforce will be amortized over a weighted-average period of three years by using the straight-line method.
Separate from the asset acquisition, $2.6 million will be paid to certain Sellers on the first and second anniversaries from asset acquisition date as compensation for maintaining an assembled workforce.
United Agency Services, Corp.
In August 2022, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of United Agency Services Corp, or UA Services, a company providing registered agent services and corporate compliance solutions for $3.5 million of which $2.6 million was paid in cash on the acquisition date and up to $1.0 million will be paid in cash within twelve months, based upon the achievement of certain earnout metrics. This amount has been excluded from the purchase consideration and will be recorded as future compensation expense.
The acquisition was completed in order to build a more durable registered agency platform and has been accounted for as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill of $3.3 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the assembled workforce and synergies expected from combining our operations. The acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition costs related to this transaction of approximately $0.4 million were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The revenue and earnings of the acquired business have been included in our results of operations since the acquisition date and are not material to the consolidated financial results. Pro forma revenues and results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the impact on our consolidated financial statements is immaterial.
The purchase accounting for this acquisition remains incomplete with respect to acquired contingent liabilities as management continues to gather and evaluate information about circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined within twelve months from the acquisition date.
Earth Class Mail, Inc.
In November 2021, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Earth Class Mail, Inc., or Earth Class Mail, a company that provides virtual mailbox solutions for small businesses, in line with our strategy to scale our existing business through building in-house adjacencies for $61.2 million. The purchase price decreased during the
year ended December 31, 2022 for a working capital adjustment of $0.3 million and immaterial measurement period adjustments.

Intangible assets acquired from Earth Class Mail included customer relationships of $10.6 million, developed technology of $5.4 million and trade names of $0.2 million, which are being amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
The resulting goodwill of $48.6 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the assembled workforce and synergies expected from combining Earth Class Mail into our operations. The acquired goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs, including legal, regulatory, and consulting costs amounted to $1.4 million and were included within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.
The revenue and earnings of the acquired business have been included in our results since the acquisition date and are not material to the our consolidated financial results. Pro forma revenues and results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the impact on the our consolidated financial statements would be immaterial.
There were no material measurement period adjustments recorded to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the period and the purchase price is considered final.
Purely Solutions, LLC
In October 2020, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Purely Solutions, LLC, or Pure, in which we acquired 100% of the membership interest as part of our plans to offer tax services. Pure provides tax preparation, tax advisory and payroll services.
The total fair value of the consideration for the acquisition was $2.3 million. Of the total consideration, $1.0 million was paid in cash on the acquisition date, with $0.5 million and $0.8 million to be paid in cash within six and eighteen months, respectively, from the acquisition date based upon certain earnout metrics being achieved including hiring targets and customer experience metrics. In 2022 and 2021, we paid out $0.6 million and $0.5 million upon the earnout metrics being partially and fully achieved, respectively. At December 31, 2021, we had classified the remaining contingent consideration in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Intangible assets acquired from Pure included customer relationships of $0.6 million, which are being amortized over their estimated useful life of three years using the straight-line method. The goodwill of $1.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the assembled workforce and synergies expected from combining Pure into our operations. The acquired goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is final.
