ACQUISITION | ACQUISITIONS Fiscal 2018 Acquisitions Acquisition of Accelerated Concepts, Inc. On January 22, 2018, we purchased all the outstanding stock of Accelerated Concepts, Inc. (“Accelerated”), a Tampa-based provider of secure, enterprise-grade, cellular (LTE) networking equipment for primary and backup connectivity applications. This acquisition is included with our IoT Products and Services segment. The terms of the acquisition include an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $16.4 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.2 million) was paid. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in two installments and the payment amount, if any, will be calculated based on the revenue performance of Accelerated products. The first installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2018 through January 21, 2019 (the “2018 period”) and the second installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2019 through January 21, 2020 (the “2019 period”). The cumulative amount of these earn-outs will be $4.5 million if certain revenue thresholds are met. Additional payments, not to exceed $2.0 million for both installments, may also be due depending on revenue performance. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $2.3 million at the date of acquisition and $4.4 million at September 30, 2018 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We have determined that the fair value of the earn-out on the acquisition date will be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there are no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $5.7 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as a stock acquisition, therefore, the goodwill is not deductible. We believe this is a complementary acquisition for us as it significantly enhances our existing cellular product lines and immediately extends our market reach with a line of commercial routers and network 2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) appliance products. This acquisition will further enhance and expand the capabilities of the IoT Products and Services segment (see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). The Accelerated acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to the purchase agreement be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the final values of Accelerated assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 16,430 |
Fair value of contingent consideration on acquired business | 2,300 |
Total purchase price consideration | $ | 18,730 |
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired | $ | 766 |
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired: |
Customer relationships | 6,500 |
Purchased and core technology | 3,000 |
Trade name and trademarks | 1,000 |
Order backlog | 1,800 |
Goodwill | 5,664 |
Total | $ | 18,730 |
Operating results for Accelerated after January 22, 2018 are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The net working capital values were finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The weighted average useful life for all the identifiable intangibles listed above is 5.5 years. For purposes of determining fair value, the purchased and core technology identified above is assumed to have a useful life of five years, the customer relationships are assumed to have useful lives of seven years, the trade name and trademarks are assumed to have useful lives of five years and the order backlog is assumed to have a useful life of one year. Useful lives for identifiable intangible assets are estimated at the time of acquisition based on the periods of time from which we expect to derive benefits from the identifiable intangible assets. The amounts of revenue and net income included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date of January 22, 2018 were $22.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Costs directly related to the acquisition of $0.3 million incurred in fiscal 2018 have been charged directly to operations and are included in general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These acquisition costs include legal, accounting and valuation fees. Acquisition of TempAlert LLC On October 20, 2017, we purchased all the outstanding interests of TempAlert LLC (“TempAlert”), a Boston-based provider of automated, real-time temperature monitoring and task management solutions. The purchase price was $45.0 million in cash adjusted for certain net working capital adjustments. We believe this is a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to further enhance and expand the capabilities of the IoT Solutions segment (see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $40.7 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.6 million) was paid at the time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid after December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 which is the end of the earn-out periods. The cumulative amount of these earn-outs for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, will not exceed $35.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively. The fair value of this contingent consideration was zero at the date of acquisition and at September 30, 2018 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $17.6 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill is deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this is a complementary acquisition for us and will provide a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused solutions business. The TempAlert acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to the purchase agreement be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary values of TempAlert assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 40,741 |
Fair value of contingent consideration on acquired business | — |

Goodwill | 17,552 |
Total | $ | 40,741 |
Operating results for TempAlert after October 20, 2017 are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 reflects the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The net working capital values are preliminary, and we expect to finalize them in the first half of fiscal 2019. The weighted average useful life for all the identifiable intangibles listed above is 6.5 years. For purposes of determining fair value, the purchased and core technology identified above is assumed to have a useful life of five years, the customer relationships are assumed to have useful lives of seven years and the trade name and trademarks are assumed to have useful lives of five years. Useful lives for identifiable intangible assets are estimated at the time of acquisition based on the periods of time from which we expect to derive benefits from the identifiable intangible assets. The amount of revenue included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date of October 20, 2017 was $17.0 million. Costs directly related to the acquisition of $1.4 million incurred in fiscal 2018 and $0.4 million incurred in fiscal 2017 have been charged directly to operations and are included in general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These acquisition costs include legal, accounting, valuation and success fees.

ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) Fiscal 2017 Acquisitions Acquisition of SMART Temps®, LLC On January 9, 2017, we purchased all of the outstanding interests of SMART Temps®, LLC ("SMART Temps®"), an Indiana-based provider of real-time temperature management for pharmacies, education, and hospital settings as well as real-time temperature management for blood bank, laboratory environments, restaurants, and grocery. We believe this is a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to further enhance our portfolio of products for the IoT Solutions segment (see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $28.8 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.5 million) was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments were scheduled to be paid after December 31, 2017 which is the end of the earn-out period. The cumulative amount of those earn-out payments could not exceed $7.2 million. We determined that the earn-out would be considered as part of the purchase price consideration because there were no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $10,000 at the date of acquisition and zero at December 31, 2017, therefore no earn-out was paid (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $18.8 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill is deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this is a complementary acquisition for us and will provide a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused IoT Solutions segment. Operating results for SMART Temps® are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from January 9, 2017. Acquisition of FreshTemp®, LLC On November 1, 2016, we purchased all of the outstanding interests of FreshTemp®, LLC (FreshTemp®), a Pittsburgh-based provider of temperature monitoring and automated task management solutions for the food industry.

The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments and a holdback amount. Cash of $1.7 million was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments are based on revenue related to certain customer contracts entered into by June 30, 2017. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $1.3 million at the date of acquisition and $0.2 million at September 30, 2018 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The final calculation date was on June 30, 2018. The cumulative amount of these earn-out payments could not exceed $2.3 million. We determined that the earn-out would be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there was no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $2.7 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill is deductible.

Fiscal 2016 Acquisition Acquisition of Bluenica Corporation On October 5, 2015, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of Bluenica Corporation ("Bluenica '), a company focused on temperature monitoring of perishable goods in the food industry by using wireless sensors, which are installed in grocery and convenience stores, restaurants, and in products during shipment and storage to ensure that quality, freshness and public health requirements are met. This acquisition formed the basis for our IoT Solutions segment. The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with earn-out payments. Cash of $2.9 million was paid at time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in installments over a four-year period based on revenue achievement of the acquired business. Each of the earn-out payments will be calculated based on the revenue performance of 2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) the IoT Solutions segment for each respective earn-out period. The cumulative amount of these earn-out payments will not exceed $11.6 million. An additional payment, not to exceed $3.5 million, may also be due depending on revenue performance.
