ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 14 – ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS

Broadsmart

On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2016 (the "Agreement") with Todd A. Correll, Thomas J. Tharrington (Messrs. Correll and Tharrington are collectively referred to as the "Seller Shareholders"), North American Telecommunications Corporation d/b/a Broadsmart (the "Seller" and collectively with the "Seller Shareholders," referred to as the "Seller Parties"). The Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the Seller's assets, properties and rights of whatever kind, tangible and intangible, other than certain excluded assets and excluded liabilities under the terms of the Agreement.

The Agreement provided that the Company would acquire substantially all of the assets of the Seller in exchange for approximately $38.0 million in cash, plus unregistered ordinary shares of the Company worth $1.8 million, valued based on the average of the previous 30 days stock price, subject to certain adjustments, including an adjustment for working capital and indebtedness. The Agreement also provided for an additional contingent payment of up to $200,000 to the Seller Shareholders in the event that certain two individuals currently employed by the Seller accept the Company's employment offer within thirty days of the completion of the acquisition or remain employed by the Company through December 15, 2016 (the contingent payment is $100,000 in the event that one of the two individuals fails to accept such employment offer). This amount is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lastly, the Seller Shareholders will receive an additional contingent payment of $2.0 million in cash if the acquired assets generate 2016 revenues equal to or exceeding $15.6 million (the "Earnout Payment"). The Earnout Payment will not exceed $2.0 million. The $2.0 million Earnout Payment was paid into escrow at the time of close. No asset or liability is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this item.

The terms of the Agreement provided for the Company to place $3.0 million of the cash consideration at the closing in escrow with an escrow agent. The purpose of the escrow is to cover any indemnification claims by the Company against the Seller Parties. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Seller Parties are not liable to the Company and its affiliates until the aggregate amount of all losses in respect of indemnification exceeds $400,000 (the "Basket") and in such case the Seller Parties shall be liable only for all losses in excess of the Basket up to a cap of $3.0 million and excluding any individual loss that is less than or equal to $7,500. Certain fundamental representations and warranties, the post-closing covenants and certain other specified obligations of the Seller Parties are outside of the Basket, cap and individual loss limitations. The Company, at this time, does not estimate any liability in excess of the Basket and therefore no asset or liability are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this item.

On March 17, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Broadsmart upon the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

The Company issued 233,402 shares of the Company's ordinary shares with a fair value of $1.7 million as of the date of the acquisition to the Seller in satisfaction of the stock consideration provided in the Agreement. The Company also granted stock options to each of the Seller Shareholders to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's ordinary shares in conjunction with each of them entering into an employment agreement with the Company. The stock options shall vest as follows: 50% will vest in even annual increments over the next three-year period if the Seller Shareholders remain employed with the Company as of each respective vesting date, and 50% will vest over the next three-year period if Broadsmart achieves certain designated revenue and EBITDA targets.

Broadsmart is a leading hosted UCaaS (Unified Communication as a Service) provider for medium-to-large multi-location enterprise customers. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex UCaaS solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. Broadsmart has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations. With the acquisition of Broadsmart, the Company has diversified its operations into UCaaS targeting high end SMB and enterprise customers. This acquisition has positioned the Company to compete long-term in the UCaaS market.

The Company incurred $0.8 million in acquisition related transaction costs, which are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The results of operations of the Broadsmart business and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under which assets and liabilities of Broadsmart were recorded at their respective fair values including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The Company expects this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment.

The acquisition price was allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the most recent information available. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for assigning the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

The table below summarizes the Broadsmart assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 17, 2016 (in thousands):

	Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Current assets:
Accounts receivable	$	567
Inventories		302
Deposits and other current assets		143
Total current assets		1,012
Property and equipment		355
Intangible assets		26,385
Deposits and other non-current assets		96
Total assets acquired		27,848
Liabilities
Current liabilities:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		900
Deferred revenue		172
Total current liabilities		1,072
Other non-current liabilities		62
Total liabilities assumed		1,134
Net identifiable assets acquired		26,714
Goodwill		15,181
Total purchase price	$	41,895
The intangible assets as of the closing date of the Acquisition included:
	Amount
Customer relationships	$	22,100
Non-compete agreements		100
Tradename		2,200
Process know how		1,100
Software license		885
	$	26,385

Indications of fair value of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition were determined using either the income, market or replacement cost methodologies. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods which reflect the pattern in which economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of sixteen years and the non-compete agreements, process know how and software license are being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years, five years and ten years, respectively. Tradename is not subject to amortization but is subject to an annual review for impairment.

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the amount of goodwill resulting from the acquisition. The Company expects this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The Company believes the factors that contributed to goodwill include synergies that are specific to the Company’s consolidated business, the acquisition of a talented workforce that provides the Company with expertise in the small and medium business market, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not provided as it was impracticable for the information to be included at the filing date as it was not available due to the timing of the acquisition. Broadsmart had not previously been audited and the 2015 audit is still in process as of the filing date.
