Business Combinations

3. Business Combinations

The Company did not consummate any business combinations during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

On December 30, 2011, the Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, WidePoint Solutions Corp. (WSC), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Avalon Global Solutions (AGS), pursuant to which WSC acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of AGS. Total purchase consideration paid was approximately $11.5 million, consisting of $3.5 million in cash, $4.0 million in bank loan proceeds, $1.0 million subordinated seller promissory note and a contingent subordinated seller promissory note ("contingent consideration") with a fair value of $3.0 million as of the acquisition date. In 2012, the Company finalized it fair value accounting and determined the estimated fair value of contingent consideration to be approximately $2.15 million, which revised purchase consideration from $11.5 million to $10.7 million and thereby reduced goodwill in connection with this business combination by approximately $850,000. In 2013, the Company remeasured the fair value of contingent consideration at zero, which revised purchase consideration from $10.7 million to $8.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a non-cash contingent gain on change in fair value of approximately $1,250,000.

See Note 4 for changes in fair value of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with material business combinations that are measured on a recurring basis.
