2014 Acquisition

 

On December 2, 2014, the Company acquired voting control of Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. (“Titan”), a Minneapolis-headquartered provider of sales and service for commercial and industrial-scale onsite power systems, including generators and associated switching equipment. By December 31, 2014, the Company had acquired 100% ownership of Titan.  The Company funded the acquisition through a new term loan provided under its U.S. credit facilities and the issuance of shares of its common stock to former convertible preferred stock holders and note holders of Titan.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Titan acquisition and presents the allocation of the amount to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of December 2, 2014 (in thousands):

The Company determined the purchase price allocation based on estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can impact the Company’s results of operations. Management utilized recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach and cost approach for the net assets acquired, in addition to relying on asset appraisals.

 

The major classes of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Titan, their respective amortization periods, and the amount of amortization expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

All of the goodwill and intangibles arising out of the Titan acquisition are amortizable for tax purposes.

 

The Company incurred $0.7 million of transaction, due diligence and integration costs during the year ended December 31, 2014 that were reflected in the Company’s results as a period expense. These costs included legal reorganization expenses, professional fees and integration costs and were included in the Company’s other expense in its statements of operations.

 

2015 Acquisition

 

On January 16, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Harmonics Holdings Inc. (“Harmonics”), consisting primarily of intellectual property, accounts receivable and machinery and equipment. Harmonics is a Connecticut-based specialty provider of equipment that incorporates a patented technology for the elimination of harmonic currents in power distribution systems. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the Company funded the cash consideration for the acquisition from available cash on hand.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Harmonics acquisition and presents the preliminary allocation of the amount to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of January 16, 2015 (in thousands):

The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the purchase price exceeded the net tangible asset value and reflects the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired business. The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of the acquisition, based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired tangible assets and assumed liabilities. After additional information is obtained about the intangible assets of the acquired business, the Company anticipates that its final allocation of the purchase price will result in a reduction to goodwill by an amount representing the estimated fair value of the intangible assets identified, which are likely to be intellectual property, customer relationships and non-compete agreements.

 

The Company incurred approximately $13,000 of transaction costs related to the acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that are reflected in the Company’s statement of operations as a period expense.
