Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisition | Note 2—Acquisition On January 22, 2014, Astro-Med completed the acquisition of the Ruggedized Printer Product line from Miltope Corporation (Miltope), a company of VT Systems, which is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and testing of ruggedized computers and computer peripheral equipment for military, industry and commercial applications. Astro-Med’s ruggedized printer product line is part of the Test & Measurement (T&M) product group and is reported as part of the T&M segment. The results of the Miltope’s ruggedized printer product line operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the acquisition date. The purchase price of the acquisition was $6,732,000 which was funded using existing cash on hand. Of the $6,732,000 purchase price, $500,000 will be held in escrow for twelve months following the acquisition date to provide an indemnity to the Company in the event of any breach in the representation, warranties and covenants of Miltope. The assets acquired consist of all of the assets of the Miltope ruggedized printer product line excluding plant and equipment and personnel. Acquisition related costs of approximately $90,000 are included in the general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with the guidance provided by FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” As part of the acquisition, Miltope and Astro-Med have entered into a manufacturing services agreement under which Miltope will provide transition services and continue to manufacture printers for Astro-Med for up to six months until the Company transitions the manufacturing to its West Warwick, Rhode Island facility. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value as follows:
(In thousands) |  |  |
Accounts Receivable |  | $ | 713 |
Inventories |  |  | 2,503 |
Identifiable Intangible Assets |  |  | 3,400 |
Goodwill |  |  | 196 |
Warranty Reserve |  |  | (80 | )
Total Purchase Price |  | $ | 6,732 |
Goodwill of $196,000, which is deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Miltope. The carrying amount of the goodwill was allocated to the T&M segment of the Company. The following table reflects the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and related estimated useful lives:
(In thousands) |  | Fair Value |  |  | Useful Life (Years) |
Customer Contract Relationships |  | $ | 3,100 |  |  |  | 10 |
Backlog |  |  | 300 |  |  |  | 1 |
Total |  | $ | 3,400 |  |  |  |  |
No amortization expense has been included in the income statement for fiscal 2014 in regards to the above acquired intangibles. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is as follows:
(In thousands) |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |
Estimated amortization expenses |  | $ | 702 |  |  | $ | 357 |  |  | $ | 349 |  |  | $ | 331 |  |  | $ | 278 |
The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of Miltope occurred on either February 1, 2013 or 2012. This information has been prepared for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent the results of operations that would have happened had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated, nor of future results of operations.
|  | Years Ended January 31 |
(In thousands) |  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Net Revenue |  | $ | 75,362 |  |  | $ | 69,453 |
The impact on net income and earnings per share would not have been material to the Company in either year.
