Neuralify Acquisition

On July 8, 2020, a subsidiary of the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Neuralify, LLC (“the Agreement”), a firm focused on intelligent automation enablement solutions and services, and consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Neuralify, LLC.  The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the capabilities of ISG’s pure-play automation service line, ISG Automation.  The purchase price was comprised of $2.3 million of cash consideration paid at closing and certain former employees of Neuralify, LLC also had the right to receive additional consideration paid via earn-out payments during the next 18 months, if certain financial targets were met.  In October 2021, the 18-month period was extended six months to July 2022.  On the date of the Agreement, the Company estimated such earn-out payments would be up to $4.9 million.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Neuralify, LLC and the amounts of identified assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, as of the Agreement date:

The primary factors that drove the goodwill recognized, the majority of which is deductible for tax purposes, are the inclusion of legacy Neuralify workforce and know-how which expands the Company’s pure-play automation service line, ISG Automation.

This business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and as such, the aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the closing date.  Based on the valuation and other factors as described above, the purchase price assigned to intangible assets were as follows:

Agreemint Acquisition

On March 28, 2022, ISG executed an asset purchase agreement for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Agreemint, which is an automated, platform-based contracting solution that will enhance the value of ISG GovernX and our other platform solutions now in development. We determined the transaction to be an asset acquisition, as substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset: the software and related intellectual property rights. The cash paid for the acquisition as of the balance sheet date is reflected in Cash flows from investing activities of the Statement of Cash Flows.  The related software acquired, which is capitalized within “Furniture, fixtures and equipment, net”, will be depreciated over four years when put into service at the end of the transition period underway to integrate the offering with our ISG GovernX cloud solution.
