Elauwit Networks, LLC

On August 1, 2018, we acquired the assets of Elauwit Networks, LLC (“Elauwit”) for $28,000 plus other contingent consideration. Elauwit provided data and video services to multi-unit dwelling properties including student housing, condominiums, apartments, senior living, and hospitality industries throughout the U.S. In addition, Elauwit built and maintained the network that supported these services for property owners and managers and provided support for residents and employees.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their acquisition-date fair values. The total purchase price was $28,612, which included contingent consideration fair valued at $961. At the closing date, we paid cash of $15,576. $11,000 of the purchase price was held back for third party consents not obtained at closing for certain customer agreements, which were released as Elauwit delivered third party consents with respect to such customer agreements, and $2,000 of the purchase price was held back as an indemnification holdback that was retained for a period of 12 months following the closing of the acquisition. In 2018, we paid $9,048 of the amounts held back for third party consents. In 2019, we paid the remaining $1,952 for amounts held back for third party consents and $1,075 of the indemnification holdback consideration with the remaining $925 retained by the Company for settlement of working capital deficit and other indemnification matters discussed further below. Of the $925 retained by the Company, $566 related to undisclosed liabilities associated with acquired contracts that were initially recorded as network costs in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the costs were incurred instead of recognizing a reduction in the indemnification liability and establishing an unfavorable contract liability. Accordingly, in 2019, an out-of-period adjustment was recognized that reduced cost of sales by $566 to correct for costs associated with these unfavorable contracts that were recorded in the prior periods. We did not make any payments related to the contingent consideration as the revenue targets were not met.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on Level 3 inputs. Further changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration would be recorded through operating income (loss). The contingent consideration was valued at the date of acquisition using the Monte Carlo method reflecting the average expected monthly revenue, an annual risk-free rate of 2.78%, and an annual revenue volatility rate of 40%.

The identifiable intangible assets were primarily valued using the excess earnings, relief from royalty, and loss-of-revenue methods using discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 21.0% and a 1.0% royalty rate, where applicable, except for certain backlog intangible assets held for sale that were valued at fair value less costs to sell using a discount rate of 8%. The amortizable intangible assets held for use are amortized on a straight-line basis over their

estimated useful lives. Intangible assets held for sale are not amortized. We allocated the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill that arose from the Elauwit acquisition was attributable primarily to expected synergies and other benefits, including the acquired workforce, from combining Elauwit with us.

ASC 805 provides for a measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date to adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. In 2019, we recorded measurement period adjustments to: (i) increase the value of backlog intangible assets held for sale by $750 as a result of the identification of additional assets that were acquired; (ii) decrease the value of backlog intangible assets by $48 as a result of an adjustment made to the fair value of an acquired customer contract; and (iii) increase the value of accrued expenses and other liabilities and reduce the indemnification liability by $566 as a result of the identification of previously undisclosed liabilities of the sellers. The measurement period adjustments resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $1,061. The following summarizes the final purchase price allocation:

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 as if the acquisition of Elauwit had occurred on January 1, 2017 and therefore includes Elauwit’s revenue and net income (loss), as adjusted, for the period. These results are not intended to reflect the actual operations of the Company had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2017. Income taxes were calculated based on the effective tax

rate for 2018, excluding the tax effects on the equity component of Convertible Notes recorded in 2018. Acquisition transaction costs have been excluded from the pro forma net loss.
