Acquisitions
RICHLAND TECHNOLOGIES ACQUISITION
On July 3, 2017, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Richland Technologies, L.L.C. ("RTL"), pursuant to which, the Company acquired RTL on a cash-free, debt-free basis for a total purchase price of $5,798. RTL specializes in safety-critical and high integrity systems, software and hardware development as well as safety-certification services for mission-critical applications. The acquisition had an immaterial impact to the Company’s results of operations (contributed less than one percent of net revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017), and accordingly the disclosures required per FASB ASC 805 have been excluded from the Form 10-Q filing. The Company recognized primarily intangible assets including customer relationships, developed technology and goodwill based on its preliminary purchase price allocation.
DELTA ACQUISITION
On April 3, 2017, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Delta Microwave, LLC ("Delta"), pursuant to which the Company acquired Delta on a cash-free, debt-free basis for a total purchase price of $40,500, subject to net working capital and net debt adjustments. Delta is a designer and manufacturer of high-value RF, microwave and millimeter wave sub-assemblies and components for the military, aerospace and space markets. The acquisition and transaction related expenses were funded with cash on hand.
The following table presents the net purchase price and the preliminary fair values of the assets and liabilities of Delta:

The amounts above represent the preliminary fair value estimates as of December 31, 2017 and are subject to subsequent adjustment as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period. The preliminary identifiable intangible asset estimates include customer relationships of $8,000 with a useful life of 9 years, developed technology of $5,900 with a useful life of 7 years and backlog of $3,100 with a useful life of 2 years. Any subsequent adjustments to these fair value estimates occurring during the measurement period will result in an adjustment to goodwill.
The goodwill of $18,161 largely reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company's offerings across product lines and markets complementary to the Company's existing products and markets. The Delta acquisition expands the scale and breadth of the Company’s RF, microwave and millimeter wave capabilities, provides a highly complementary program portfolio in missiles and munitions, deepens market penetration in core radar, electronic warfare ("EW"), and precision-guided munitions markets, and opens new growth opportunities in space launch, GPS, satellite communications and datalinks. The goodwill from this acquisition is reported under the Advanced Microelectronic Solutions (“AMS”) reporting unit.
Since Delta was a limited liability company, the acquisition is treated as an asset purchase for tax purposes. The Company has estimated the tax value of the intangible assets from this transaction and is amortizing the amount over 15 years for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $17,615 of goodwill deductible for tax purposes.
The revenues and income before income taxes from Delta included in the Company's consolidated results for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $5,229 and $74, respectively. The revenues and income before income taxes from Delta included in the Company's consolidated results for the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $10,761 and $661, respectively. The Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to Delta because such information is not material to the Company's financial results.
CES AQUISITION
On November 4, 2016, the Company and the shareholders of CES entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, Mercury acquired CES for a total purchase price of $39,123, subject to net working capital and net debt adjustments. The acquisition and associated transaction expenses were funded with cash on hand. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, CES is a leading provider of embedded solutions for military and aerospace mission-critical computing applications. CES specializes in the design, development and manufacture of safety-certifiable product and subsystems solutions including: primary flight control units, flight test computers, mission computers, command and control processors, graphics and video processing and avionics-certified Ethernet and IO.

On November 3, 2017, the measurement period for CES expired. The identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships of $9,060 with a useful life of 9 years and developed technology of $5,662 with a useful life of 7 years.
The goodwill of $20,637 largely reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company's offerings across product lines and markets complementary to the Company's existing products and markets. CES provides the Company with capabilities in mission computing, safety-critical avionics and platform management that are in demand from its customers. These new capabilities will also substantially expand Mercury’s addressable market into commercial aerospace, defense platform management, command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence ("C4I") and mission computing markets that are aligned to Mercury’s existing market focus. The acquisition is directly aligned with the Company's strategy of expanding its capabilities, services and offerings along the sensor processing chain. The goodwill from this acquisition is reported under the Sensor and Mission Processing (“SMP”) reporting unit.
The revenues and income before income taxes from CES included in the Company's consolidated results for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $7,000 and $2,445, respectively. The revenues and income before income taxes from CES included in the Company's consolidated results for the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $13,319 and $2,093, respectively. The Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to CES because such information is not material to the Company's financial results.
THEMIS COMPUTER AQUISITION
On December 21, 2017, the Company and Thunderbird Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury (the “Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ceres Systems (“Ceres”), the holding company that owns Themis Computer (“Themis”, and together with Ceres, collectively the “Acquired Company”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into Ceres with Ceres continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury (the “Merger”). By operation of the Merger, the Company acquired both Ceres and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Themis.
On February 1, 2018, the Company closed the transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $180,000, plus an estimated adjustment for acquired working capital and cash. The merger consideration is subject to post-closing adjustments based on a determination of closing net working capital, transaction expenses and net debt (all as defined in the Merger Agreement). See Note N "Subsequent Events" to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
