Acquisition of video conferencing business

On February 16, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the video conferencing business of Israel-based VCON Video Conferencing, Ltd. (“VCON”) through an asset purchase agreement. VCON was a pioneer in software-based video conferencing solutions with product offerings that include group video conferencing endpoints, desktop video conferencing endpoints, video conferencing infrastructure solutions and software development kits. This acquisition and the combination of streaming and digital signage technologies have provided us with complementary technology opportunities allowing us to enter new growth markets.

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the Company paid consideration of $4,632 in cash. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available during the measurement period of twelve months from the date of acquisition. The fair value of identified assets and liabilities acquired and goodwill is as follows:

The goodwill of $2,319 is composed of expected synergies in utilizing VCON technology in ClearOne product offerings, reduction in future combined research and development expenses, and intangible assets including acquired workforce that do not qualify for separate recognition.
