2. | Merger and Acquisition Activities in Prior Years
Enfora On November 30, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Enfora. The acquisition of Enfora diversifies the Company's customer base and product lines into adjacent markets and advances the Company's strategy of providing intelligent devices to all end markets—enterprise, consumer and vertical applications. Enfora's results of operations and estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning November 30, 2010. The revenue and operating results contributed by Enfora during the year ended December 31, 2011 are disclosed in our Segment Information and Concentrations of Risk footnote (see Note 12). Acquisition costs related to the merger of Enfora of $1.9 million were recorded and classified as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2010. Acquisition consideration Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid cash consideration of $64.5 million and additional cash consideration of $13.0 million in exchange for an agreed upon amount of Enfora working capital. The Company also agreed to pay additional cash consideration ("contingent consideration") of up to $6.0 million based on the operating results of Enfora for the 15 month period from October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The estimated fair value of this contingent consideration at the acquisition date was $0.9 million, resulting in total estimated cash to be paid of $78.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company revised its estimate of contingent consideration to $0 and reflected this change as a benefit to general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. There were no changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration recorded in the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as the operating results necessary to receive payment of the contingent consideration were not achieved. Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method and, accordingly, estimated the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as set forth below. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company made a $297,000 adjustment to increase Enfora net deferred tax assets, with a corresponding dollar amount decrease to goodwill, based on completed studies of available tax benefits existing as of the date of acquisition. The total purchase price is summarized below (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 4,600 |
Accounts receivables |  |  | 7,448 |
Inventories |  |  | 10,469 |
Property and equipment |  |  | 1,597 |

Intangible assets |  |  | 42,520 |

Cinterion In June 2010, the Company submitted a bid to purchase certain assets of Cinterion, a company in the cellular M2M communications industry, in connection with an insolvency proceeding. The Company was not the successful bidder at the conclusion of the process on June 28, 2010. In connection with the bid, the Company borrowed $30.0 million under a bridge loan facility in June 2010 which was subsequently repaid in July 2010. The Company recognized $3.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the bridge loan facility. This amount was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also realized $1.7 million of foreign currency gain, net of hedging transaction costs, to address foreign currency risk also related to the bid. This amount was recorded in other income in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also incurred $1.3 million in legal, advisory and professional fees related to the acquisition bid, which were recorded and classified as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2010.
