Z-Sciences As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, on October 6, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Z-Sciences Corp. (“Z-Sciences”), a developer of ultra-cold storage solutions for the medical cold chain market. The Z-Sciences product line was re-branded as “North Sciences” after our acquisition. The acquisition enhances our medical offerings and increases our presence in the life sciences market which is a key target market for us. Z-Sciences was founded in 2004. Its founder joined us as a consultant and is expected to become an employee in 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the founder was still a consultant. The purchase price for Z-Sciences was $500 in cash, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment, $300 of which was paid at closing. The remaining $200 was paid on the one-year anniversary of closing. This amount is recorded as a contingent consideration liability on our balance sheet at September 30, 2022. It is included in Other Current Liabilities. The fair value of this liability at September 30, 2022 approximates its cost due to the short maturity. In addition to his salary, in connection with his prospective employment, Z-Sciences’ founder will receive a multi-year restricted stock award with vesting provisions which would be contingent upon achieving future performance milestones related to sales growth and profitability of products related to the Z-Sciences business for the fiscal years from 2022 through 2026. The award will be valued at a maximum of $1,800. The actual numbers of shares to be awarded will be based on the stock price on the date of grant with a cap of 200,000 shares at the 100% attainment level of the vesting provisions that are defined in the restricted stock award agreement. The value of the award will be recorded as compensation expense in our consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the period in which the shares vest. The acquisition of Z-Sciences has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Z-Sciences have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Z-Sciences’ purchase price was based on fair values as of October 6, 2021. Further information about the allocation of the purchase price is discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. Unaudited pro forma information which would give effect to the acquisition of Z-Sciences as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 is not presented because the financial results for Z-Sciences prior to our acquisition are considered immaterial. Videology As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, on October 28, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Videology Imaging Solutions Inc. and Videology Imaging Solutions Europe B.V. (collectively, “Videology”), a global designer, developer and manufacturer of OEM digital streaming and image capturing solutions. The acquisition of Videology expands our process technology solutions, diversifies our reach into key targeted markets and broadens our customer base. It also builds on our process technology platforms by expanding our automation capabilities to add future product solutions with imaging data and analytical tools. The purchase price for Videology was $12,000 paid in cash at closing subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. The acquisition of Videology has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Videology have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Videology purchase price was based on fair values as of October 27, 2021. Further information about the allocation of the purchase price, and goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition is discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the acquisition of Videology as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021. These proforma summaries do not reflect any operating efficiencies or costs savings that may be achieved by the combined businesses. These proforma summaries are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the acquisition taken place as of that date, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results of operations:
|  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 |  |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 |
Revenue |  | $ | 23,356 |  |  | $ | 69,330 |
Net earnings |  | $ | 2,552 |  |  | $ | 8,613 |
Diluted earnings per share |  | $ | 0.24 |  |  | $ | 0.81 |
The pro forma results shown above do not reflect the impact on general and administrative expense of investment advisory costs, legal costs and other costs of $288 incurred by us as a direct result of the transaction. Acculogic As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, on December 21, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Acculogic Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Acculogic”), a global manufacturer of robotics-based electronic production test equipment and application support services. The acquisition was completed by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Acculogic. The Acculogic acquisition adds electronics test capabilities with new technologies and services as well as broadens our customer base, furthers our end market diversification and expands our international footprint. The purchase price for Acculogic was approximately $8,500 paid in cash at closing subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. In addition, we may pay the seller up to an additional CAD $5,000 in the five-year period from 2022 through 2026. The additional payments will be based on a percent of net invoices for which payments have been received on systems sold to electric vehicle ("EV") or battery customers in excess of CAD $2,500 per year in each of the five years. The maximum payment is capped at CAD $5,000, which equates to approximately $3,600 at September 30, 2022. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date, an option-based income approach using a Monte Carlo simulation model was utilized due to the non-linear payout structure. As of the acquisition date, this resulted in an estimated fair value of $1,430. This amount was recorded as a contingent consideration liability and included in the purchase price as of the acquisition date. We will reassess the estimated fair value of this liability annually using this same approach, or more frequently, if we determine that there have been material changes to the assumptions used in the calculation of the probable payout. Changes in the amount of the estimated fair value of the earnouts since the acquisition date will be recorded as operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations in the quarter in which they occur. At September 30, 2022, there has been no change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. Changes in the fair value represent the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. The acquisition of Acculogic has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Acculogic have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the post-closing working capital adjustment was finalized and resulted in a reduction in the purchase price of $371 as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired. The allocation of the purchase price for Acculogic is now complete. The allocation of the Acculogic purchase price which is presented below was based on estimated fair values as of December 21, 2021. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets was allocated to goodwill and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributed to synergies that are expected to result from the operations of the combined businesses. The total purchase price of $9,426, which includes $1,430 for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, has been allocated as follows:
Goodwill |  | $ | 3,363 |
Identifiable intangible assets |  |  | 5,123 |
Tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  |  |  |
Cash |  |  | 312 |
Trade accounts receivable |  |  | 2,259 |
Inventories |  |  | 1,329 |
Other current assets |  |  | 240 |
Property and equipment |  |  | 156 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (406 | )
Accrued expenses |  |  | (2,950 | )
Total purchase price |  | $ | 9,426 |
