Acquisition of New York Code and Design Academy [Abstract] |
Acquisition of New York Code and Design Academy | 3. Acquisition of New York Code and Design Academy On January 13, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of New York Code and Design Academy, Inc. (“NYCDA”), a provider of non-degree information technology curriculum primarily based in the New York City area (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to complement its traditional degree offerings with a broader platform of educational services. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.2 million, and these costs are included in general and administrative costs in the unaudited consolidated statements of income. The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price includes $2.4 million paid up front in cash, plus contingent cash payments of (a) up to $12.5 million payable based on NYCDA’s results of operations over a five-year period (the “Earnout”), and (b) $5.5 million payable based on NYCDA’s receipt of state regulatory permits. Pursuant to the Acquisition, $1.0 million of the Earnout may be accelerated upon receipt of one of the state regulatory permits. In April 2016 and August 2016, NYCDA received the state regulatory permits and the Company paid $6.0 and $0.5 million of contingent consideration to the sellers, respectively. In addition, the Company paid a total of $4.6 million to two of NYCDA’s founders who are required to remain employed for at least three years from the acquisition date. If either of them terminates employment voluntarily, or is terminated for cause (as defined), he is required to reimburse the Company his respective portion of the retention amount. This amount is classified as prepaid compensation and is amortized to compensation expense over three years. Total potential cash payments for the acquisition and the Earnout could total $25.0 million. The Company determined the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, and is subject to revision based on final analyses that support the underlying estimates, which will be completed within the measurement period of up to 12 months from the date of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the allocation is subject to change and the impact of such changes could be material. During the second quarter of 2016, there was a measurement period adjustment to goodwill and deferred tax liabilities of $0.2 million. The allocation of the purchase price, including the measurement period adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2016, is as follows:
|  | Purchase |  |
|  | Price |  |
|  | Allocation |  | Useful Life
Cash | $ | 790 |  |
Other assets |  | 1,265 |  |
Intangibles: |  |  |  |
Trade name |  | 5,660 |  | Indefinite
Goodwill |  | 13,993 |  |
Liabilities assumed |  | (4,783) |  |
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net |  | 16,925 |  |
Less: contingent consideration |  | (14,500) |  |
Less: cash acquired |  | (790) |  |
Cash paid for acquisition, net of cash acquired | $ | 1,635 |  |
The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured by applying a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 4.5% and expected future value of payments of $12.5 million, based on management’s assessment that NYCDA will achieve its performance targets after the five-year measurement period. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined based on assumptions that reasonable market participants would use while employing the concept of highest and best use of the respective items. The following assumptions were used, the majority of which include significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and valuation methodologies to determine fair value:
| · |  | Intangibles – Income approaches were used to value the substantial majority of the acquired intangibles. The trade name was valued using the relief from-royalty method, which represents the benefit of owning these intangible assets rather than paying royalties for their use.
| · |  | Other assets and liabilities – The carrying value of all other assets and liabilities approximated fair value at the time of acquisition.
