Acquisitions
 
Mechanical Power Conversion, LLC
 
In December 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities from Mechanical Power Conversion, LLC (“E&M”), a privately held company operating as E&M Power and engaged in the design and manufacture of advanced power emulators (AC and DC) and custom power electronic products, based in Binghamton, New York. Future activity of this business will be recorded via D&V Electronics USA, operating as the Company’s registered DBA (Doing Business As) entity. The addition of new products from E&M increased the Company’s revenue potential and product portfolio. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an asset purchase agreement for an initial cash purchase price of $4,417,000, plus an additional working capital adjustment of $42,000 paid to the former owners of E&M. In addition, the Company is contingently obligated to make additional payments to the former owners of E&M up to an aggregate of $5,200,000 over the next 2-3 years. The initial fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $3,560,000 determined using a probability weighted method and a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Identified intangible assets acquired have the following useful lives: (i) five years for developed technology, (ii) eight years for customer relationships, and (iii) six months for order backlog. The goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of E&M is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company incurred $355,000 in acquisition costs during the year ended March 31, 2019, which were recorded in general and administrative expenses. The assets and results of operations of E&M were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and thus pro forma information is not presented.
 
Dixie Electric, Ltd.
 
In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all the equity interests of Dixie Electric, Ltd (“Dixie”), a privately held manufacturer and remanufacturer of alternators and starters for automotive aftermarket non- discretionary replacement parts for heavy-duty truck, industrial, marine and agricultural applications, based in Ontario, Canada. The addition of Dixie is expected to expand the Company’s heavy duty product portfolio. The initial cash purchase price of $8,049,000, which was reduced by a working capital adjustment of $71,000, was paid to the former owners of Dixie. In addition, the Company is contingently obligated to make additional payments to the former owners of Dixie up to $1,130,000 over the next two years. The preliminary fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $840,000 determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Trademarks acquired will have useful life of three years. The Company incurred $576,000 in acquisition costs during the year ended March 31, 2019, which were recorded in general and administrative expenses. The assets and results of operations of Dixie, and in the aggregate with the E&M acquisition, were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and thus pro forma information is not presented.
 
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation of Dixie with no material adjustments.
