NOTE C — ACQUISITION

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement providing for the acquisition of Filament by the Company. The acquisition was completed on March 2, 2018. The aggregate consideration for Filament, after taking into account certain adjustments, was $295.4 million, consisting of $218.5 million of cash consideration and 5,593,116 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, with a value equal to $76.9 million based on the market value of the Company’s common stock as of March 2, 2018. The cash portion of the consideration was revised for certain adjustments as defined in the agreement.

The purchase price, as adjusted, has been determined to be as follows (in thousands):


Cash	$	218,506
Share consideration		76,905

Total purchase price	$	295,411

The purchase price was allocated based on the Company’s preliminary estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):


Accounts receivable	$	26,453
Inventory		26,696
Other assets		8,663
Other liabilities		(24,746	)
Deferred income tax		(26,633	)
Goodwill and other intangibles		284,978

Total allocated value	$	295,411

The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC Topic 805”), which established a new basis of accounting for all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. ASC Topic 805 allows the acquiring Company to adjust preliminary amounts recognized at the acquisition date to their subsequently determined final fair values during a measurement period, generally up to one year from the date of acquisition. The fair values of net assets acquired are based on the Company’s preliminary estimate of the respective fair values. The final valuation of net assets may result in material adjustments to the respective fair values and resulting goodwill. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company increased goodwill by approximately $4.9 million, due to certain adjustments primarily related to the valuation of certain intangible assets. Goodwill results from such factors as an assembled workforce. The total amount of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill and other intangible assets are primarily included in the U.S. Wholesale segment. Customer relationships and certain trade names, which are included in intangible assets, net, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (see Note E– Intangible Assets to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report).

The nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes the operations of Filament for the period from March 2, 2018, the date of acquisition, to September 30, 2018. The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, includes $38.6 million and $77.2 million, respectively of net sales contributed by Filament.
