During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company received the final valuation report for the TGA Acquisition. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2015 was retrospectively adjusted to include the effect of the measurement period adjustments as required under ASC 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”). The revisions to the purchase price allocation for the acquisition resulted from the Company’s finalization of valuation of long-term and intangible assets with consideration of the valuation report obtained from a third party appraisal firm. The aforementioned adjustments resulted in a retrospective adjustment to goodwill by $2,384,000 and other intangibles by $1,817,000. The $1.6 million in goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company included in its financial statements revenues generated by Track Group Analytics of $165,869 for the year ended September 30, 2015.

 

The fair value of patents, developed technology, customer contracts/relationship, tradename and trademarks were capitalized as of the acquisition date and will be subsequently amortized using a straight-line method to depreciation and amortization expense over their estimated useful lives.
