Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisition | 3. Acquisition On March 1, 2010, MCL acquired all of the capital stock of Absolute Equipment Solutions, Inc. (“AES”) for a total purchase price of Cdn $4,194,000 (approximately U.S. $3,984,000). AES manufactured, sold and leased “heli-pickers” and associated equipment that is utilized in the deployment and retrieval of seismic equipment by helicopters. The Company made this acquisition to expand the type of equipment available to its customers and to expand the markets in which it operates. The consideration consisted of cash paid at closing in the amount of Cdn $2,200,000 (approximately U.S. $2,100,000), promissory notes in the amount of Cdn $1,500,000 (approximately U.S. $1,425,000), a post-closing working capital adjustment payment of Cdn $194,000 (approximately U.S. $184,000) and deferred cash payments in the amount of Cdn $300,000. The promissory notes bore interest at 6% annually, payable semi-annually. The principal amount of the notes was repayable in two equal installments on March 1, 2011 and 2012. The deferred cash payments will be made upon the expiration of certain indemnity periods. MCL may offset amounts due pursuant to the promissory notes or the deferred cash payment against indemnity claims due from the sellers. In addition, the sellers were entitled to additional cash payments of up to Cdn $750,000 should AES attain certain levels of revenues during the 24-month period following the acquisition, as specified in the agreement. The Company hired an outside consulting firm, The BVA Group L.L.C. (“BVA”), to assess the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the AES acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be approximately Cdn $200,000. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $400,000 in other expense to reflect the amount of the estimated contingent consideration payments in excess of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration described above. There were no amounts recognized related to other contingencies. The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceeded the total value of consideration paid, resulting in a bargain purchase. The Company paid the sellers approximately $148,000 in April 2011 pursuant to the first stage of the contingent consideration provision of the agreement and in May 2012 approximately $450,000 pursuant to the second and final stage of this provision. Upon the initial determination that the transaction had resulted in a bargain purchase, management and BVA reviewed the assets and liabilities acquired and the assumptions utilized in estimating their fair value. Certain revisions were made to these estimates, which resulted in a reduction in, but not the elimination of, the gain from bargain purchase. In this review, management noted that the information used in determining the fair value of the assets was the same information used to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration portion of the purchase price. Further revisions to the estimates were not deemed to be appropriate. Management then under took a review to determine what factors might contribute to a bargain purchase and if it were reasonable for a bargain purchase to occur. In this review, management noted that at the time the transaction was negotiated with the owners of AES, the oil services industry had recently experienced a decline and there was uncertainty as to the speed or depth of a recovery. Management believed that this situation was particularly difficult on small companies, such as AES, who had limited access to capital and liquidity. Furthermore, it appeared to management that the owners of AES were motivated to complete a transaction for personal financial reasons. Management also noted that there was a limited market for companies such as AES. Based upon all of these factors, management concluded that the occurrence of bargain purchase was reasonable. Accordingly, a gain of $1,304,000 was recorded as of the date of acquisition and no goodwill resulted from the transaction. The following is a summary of the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):
Working capital |  | $ | 327 |
Seismic equipment lease pool |  |  | 2,990 |
Deferred taxes |  |  | (1,086 | )
Intangible assets |  |  | 3,154 |
Revenue and net income for AES were $2,855,000 and $489,000, respectively, for the eleven months ended January 31, 2011. The operations of AES are included in our Equipment Leasing segment. Effective February 1, 2012, AES was merged into MCL. Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited) The following consolidated pro forma results of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 assumes the acquisition of AES occurred as of the beginning of that period and reflects the full results of operations for the period presented. The consolidated pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations that would actually have occurred had the combinations been in effect on the dates indicated, or that may occur in the future
