Business Combinations | Note 2 — Business Combinations On October 1, 2013 (“the Acquisition Date”), Veeco acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interest of Synos Technology, Inc. (“Synos”). The results of Synos’ operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Synos is an early stage manufacturer of fast array scanning atomic layer deposition (“FAST-ALD”) systems for Organic LED (“OLED”) and other applications. As part of Veeco’s acquisition agreement with Synos, there were certain contingent payments due to the selling shareholders of Synos dependent on the achievement of certain milestones. The aggregate fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of December 31, 2013 was $29.4 million. We estimate the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration based on management’s probability-weighted present value of the consideration expected to be transferred during the remainder of the earn-out period, based on the forecast related to the milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed by us on a quarterly basis using additional information as it becomes available. Any change in the fair value of an acquisition’s contingent consideration liability results in a gain or loss that is recorded in the earnings of that period. As of March 31, 2014, we determined that the agreed upon post-closing milestones were not met or are not expected to be achieved and therefore reversed the remaining $29.4 million fair value of the liability of the contingent consideration and recorded it as a change in contingent consideration in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The post-closing milestones are divided into two contingencies. The first, tied to receipt of certain purchase orders, had an evaluation date of March 31, 2014, which was not met and accounted for $20.2 million of the fair value of the reversed liability. The second is based on achieving certain full year 2014 revenue and gross margin thresholds, which are unlikely to be met and accounted for $9.2 million of the fair value of the reversed liability. As of September 30, 2014 the second contingency, with a maximum potential value of $75.0 million, remains contractually outstanding. We currently do not expect this contingency to be met. During the second quarter of 2014, we finalized the working capital adjustment under the purchase agreement. Upon acquisition, the working capital adjustment was estimated to be $2.7 million. Based on the final adjustment, the working capital adjustment was reduced to $1.3 million. As a result, a $1.4 million adjustment was made that increased goodwill by $0.2 million and reduced accrued expenses by $1.2 million for the relief of a potential liability that the former shareholders have retained. During the third quarter of 2014, we received payment of the $1.3 million working capital adjustment from the former shareholders.
