Acquisition of Business | Note 4. Acquisition of Business Esja On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest (54.5% of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Through Esja, we are developing and will operate a new FlyOver Iceland attraction, which we expect to open in 2019. The purchase price was €8.2 million (approximately $9.5 million) in cash, and the shareholders agreement includes a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value is determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss, and the accretion of the redemption value of the put option. As of the transaction date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was estimated to be $6.7 million. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was finalized as of March 31, 2018. During the three months ended September 31, 2018, we made a purchase price allocation adjustment to goodwill of $0.1 million. Refer to Note 20 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for additional information. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the Pursuit business group and the primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill relates to future expected income from operations after opening in 2019. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Transaction costs associated with the Esja acquisition were $0.1 million in 2018 and 2017, which are included in corporate activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Esja results of operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Esja had operating losses, representing start-up costs, of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
