3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of REV

On September 3, 2014, PFS acquired the outstanding capital stock of REV, which provides eCommerce website technical design, development and support services, enabling retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to optimize the customer experience across multiple channels.  REV maintains operations in the United States and India.  The initial consideration paid for the shares was $3.2 million in cash payments.  The purchase agreement provides for future earn-out payments (“REV Earn-out Payments”) payable in 2015 and 2016 based on REV’s achievement of certain 2014 and 2015 financial targets (the “2014 REV Earn-out Payments” and “2015 REV Earn-out Payments”, respectively), in each case, subject to guaranteed minimum and maximum payments and possible offsets for indemnification and other claims arising under the purchase agreement.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid $1.1 million and issued 27,407 shares of common stock of the Company (approximately $0.3 million in value as of payment date) in payment of the 2014 REV Earn-out Payments.  At PFS’ election, up to $0.2 million of the 2015 REV Earn-out Payments are payable in unregistered shares of common stock of the Company. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recognized a total current liability of $1.7 million applicable to the 2015 REV Earn-out Payments which have a guaranteed minimum of $0.7 million and maximum of $1.8 million.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including an allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of REV have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company determined fair value using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation methods.

The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets acquired using a pattern in which the economic benefit of the assets are expected to be realized by the Company over their estimated remaining useful lives. There are no residual values for any of the intangible assets subject to amortization acquired during the REV acquisition.

Acquisition of LAL

On September 22, 2014, PFS acquired the outstanding capital stock of LAL, which provides digital agency services including strategy, branding, website design, visual design, copywriting, interactive development and support services primarily to manufacturers and retailers.  LAL operates in the United States. Consideration paid for the shares included an initial $4.0 million cash payment and 54,604 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company (approximately $0.5 million in value as of acquisition date).  The purchase agreement provides for future earn out payments (“LAL Earn-out Payments”) payable in 2015 and 2016 based on LAL’s achievement of certain 2014 and 2015 financial targets (the “2014 LAL Earn-out Payments” and “2015 LAL Earn-out Payments,” respectively), in each case, subject to a maximum payment and possible offsets for indemnification and other claims arising under the purchase agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid $1.0 million for the 2014 LAL Earn-out Payments.  As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recognized a total current liability of $1.8 million applicable to the projected 2015 LAL Earn-out Payments with a maximum payment of $2.0 million. At PFS’ election, up to 25% of the 2015 LAL Earn-out Payments are payable in unregistered shares of common stock of the Company.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including an allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of LAL have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The Company determined fair value using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation methods.

Acquisition of Moda

On June 11, 2015, PFSweb, Inc. acquired the outstanding capital stock of Moda, an eCommerce system integrator and consultancy that provides unique digital experiences for fashion brands and retailers.  Moda maintains primary operations in London.  Consideration paid for the shares included an initial £650,000 (approximately $1.0 million) cash payment and 16,116 unregistered shares of Company stock (approximately $0.3 million in value as of the acquisition date).  The purchase agreement provides for future earn-out payments (“Moda Earn-out Payments”) payable in 2016 and 2017 based on Moda’s achievement of certain 2015 and 2016 financial targets, with no guaranteed minimum and an aggregate maximum each year of £500,000 (approximately $0.8 million), in each case, subject to possible offsets for indemnification and other claims arising under the purchase agreement.  As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recognized a total liability of $0.5 million applicable to the projected Moda Earn-out Payments.  At the Company’s election, up to 25% of each of the 2015 and 2016 Moda Earn-out Payments are payable in restricted shares of common stock of the Company.  

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a preliminary allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of Moda have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary unaudited, estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation requires the significant use of estimates and is based on the information available to management at the time these financial statements were prepared. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired, as such, the estimated purchase price in excess of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed has initially been recorded as an estimated allocation between goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and will not be amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests using a fair-value-based approach. The detail of finite identifiable intangibles is in the process of being identified and allocated to non-compete agreements and customer relationships. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation and, accordingly, the following preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.

Acquisition of CrossView

On August 5, 2015, PFSweb, Inc. acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities, in each case, other than certain specified assets and liabilities of CrossView, Inc., (“CrossView”) an ecommerce systems integrator and provider of a wide range of ecommerce services in the U.S. and Canada.    

Consideration paid by the Company included an initial cash payment of $30.7 million and 553,223 unregistered shares of Company common stock (approximately $6.6 million in value as of the acquisition date).  The initial cash payment is subject to adjustment based upon a post-closing balance sheet reconciliation.  In addition, the Company will pay future earn-out payments (“CrossView Earn-out Payments”) in 2016, 2017 and 2018 based on the achievement of certain 2015, 2016 and 2017 financial targets.  The CrossView Earn-out Payments have no guaranteed minimum and an aggregate maximum of $18.0 million and are subject to possible offsets for indemnification and other claims.  The Company will pay 20% of the 2015 earn-out and 15% of the 2016 and 2017 earn-outs in restricted shares of Company common stock, based on its then current market value at the time of issuance. As of September 30, 2015 the Company has recognized a receivable of $1.2 million applicable to the post-closing balance sheet reconciliation adjustment and a total liability of $12.7 million applicable to the projected CrossView Earn-out Payments.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a preliminary allocation of purchase price, and the results of operations of CrossView have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary unaudited, estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation requires the significant use of estimates and is based on the information available to management at the time these financial statements were prepared. The detail of finite identifiable intangibles is in the process of being identified and allocated to customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements and technology development.  The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation and, accordingly, the following preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.
