ACQUISITION

On March 18, 2013, we acquired Ideal Dialogue Company, LLC ("IDC") for approximately $1,500, which primarily consisted of certain identifiable intangible assets. IDC uses analysis and unique methodologies based on more than 50 years of research in the science of human communication to optimize agent-customer interactions. IDC provides solutions that improve hiring, training, leadership development, quality monitoring and executive insight to enable customer management organizations to consistently create engaging conversations with customers. IDC is headquartered in Lutz, Florida.
 
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had paid $750 of the purchase price. The remaining purchase price of $750 was paid in May 2013. The Company paid minimal acquisition-related expenses as part of the IDC purchase, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Financial results of IDC from the date of acquisition are included in the results of operations within our Domestic segment.
 
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date was $1,490 with the remainder amount assigned to property, plant and equipment. The intangibles acquired consist of intellectual property, including proprietary processes and scoring and analysis methodologies, which has been recorded as a non-amortized asset.

Due to the timing of this acquisition, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary, as the amounts related to the intangibles are still being finalized.
