Acquired Business  

On November 4, 2013 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myricom, Inc.  Myricom has been integrated into the High Performance Products and Solutions business segment.  Prior to our acquisition, Myricom was a manufacturer of high performance interconnect computing devices and software.  The Company acquired Myricom in order to obtain (i) Myricom’s interconnect technology, which is critical to our latest MultiComputer products and (ii) a strong base of new customers in commercial growth markets.  The Company also retained key Myricom technical personnel.  Myricom was a key supplier to CSPI’s MultiComputer Division.  Its interconnect technology is an important component of the latest generation MultiComputer products that we currently supply to our customers.

Although Myricom was an established business prior to our acquisition, it had previously sold off a significant portion of its business and was faced with the likelihood of having to shut down operations if it could not find a buyer to purchase its remaining assets.  This was because the revenue that Myricom was able to generate from these remaining assets was not sufficient to support its cost structure so as to enable Myricom to operate at a profit.  These factors contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain.  The Company paid total cash consideration of approximately $0.5 million to acquire substantially all of the assets of Myricom and incurred approximately $0.1 million for the assumption of certain other liabilities.  The purchase of Myricom resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of approximately $0.5 million.  The bargain purchase gain is presented as a component of operating income, net of the federal and state tax effect. The Myricom inventory was valued at fair value in connection with the acquisition and for the year ended, September 30, 2014, approximately $0.2 million of the stepped up basis in inventory was amortized through cost of sales.
