The Company acquired Australian Electricity Systems PTY Ltd (AES) on January 31, 2012, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of AES for $6.3 million Australian dollars including acquired cash of $1.8 million Australian dollars, net of customary post-working capital adjustments of $.5 million Australian dollars. As part of the purchase agreement to acquire AES, the Company recorded on January 31, 2012 a $1.1 million Australian dollars earn-out consideration payment. This amount represented the fair value of the earn-out consideration based on AES achieving a financial performance target over the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was determined by estimating the (probability-weighted) expected earn-out payment discounted to present value and is considered a level three input. The parties agreed this contingent consideration was $.4 million which was included in the Accrued expenses and other liabilities line on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012. The Company paid this $.4 million consideration to the former owner in April 2013. The acquisition of AES was immaterial to the Company. AES is reported as part of the Company’s Asia-Pacific segment.
