2. ACQUISITION

HyperCube

On March 23, 2012, we completed the acquisition of HyperCube, a provider of switching services to telecommunications carriers throughout the United States. HyperCube exchanges or interconnects communications traffic to all carriers, including wireless, wire-line, cable telephony and VoIP companies. The purchase price was $77.9 million and was funded by cash on hand and partial use of our asset securitization financing facility. The results of HyperCube have been included in the Communication Services segment since March 23, 2012.

Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill, partially deductible for tax purposes, for the purchase of HyperCube included the synergy related to telecommunication transport costs and new products and services related to IP and mobile communications.

The HyperCube acquisition was included in the consolidated results of operations from its date of acquisition, March 23, 2012 and included revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, of $92.9 million in 2013 and $65.0 million in 2012. Amortization of intangible assets acquired with the HyperCube acquisition in 2013 and 2012 were $4.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date for HyperCube. The finite lived intangible assets are comprised of trade names, technology, non-competition agreements and customer relationships.
