Business Acquisition | 3. Business Acquisition On July 2, 2021, we acquired 100 percent of the outstanding membership interest in Aquana, LLC ("Aquana") a comprehensive wireless water monitoring and control system provider. Aquana operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and resides in the Company’s Adjacent Markets business segment. The acquisition purchase price consisted of an initial cash down payment at closing of approximately $1.4 million and additional contingent cash payments over a six year earn-out period. The contingent earn-out payments, if any, will be derived from certain eligible revenue generated during the earn-out period from products and services sold by Aquana. There is no maximum limit to the contingent cash payments that could be made. The merger agreement with Aquana requires the continued employment of a certain key employee and former member of Aquana for the first four years of the six year earn-out period in order for any of Aquana’s former members to be eligible to any earn-out payments. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, due to the continued employment requirement, no liability has been recorded for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out payments for this transaction. Earn-outs achieved, if any, will be recorded as compensation expense when incurred. In connection with the Aquana acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $0.7 million, and other intangible assets of $0.7 million. Current assets and current liabilities acquired in the transaction were nominal. Legal and professional costs of $0.2 million related to the Aquana acquisition are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The Aquana acquisition represents the Company’s strategy to expand its product revenues, as well as its engineering and manufacturing competencies, to markets outside the oil and gas industry.
