ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
Nowait, Inc.
On February 28, 2017, the Company acquired Nowait, Inc. ("Nowait"). In connection with the acquisition, all outstanding capital stock and options and warrants to purchase capital stock of Nowait — including the 20% equity investment in Nowait the Company acquired in July 2016 — were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of $39.8 million in cash. Of the total amount of consideration paid in connection with the acquisition, $7.9 million is being held in escrow for a two-year period after the closing to secure the Company’s indemnification rights. The key purpose underlying the acquisition was to secure waitlist system and seating tool technology. The Company utilized an income approach to determine the valuation of the Company’s existing equity investment in Nowait as of the acquisition date. The carrying value of the Company’s investment approximated its fair value.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"), with the results of Nowait’s operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from February 28, 2017.

The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized. The goodwill results from the Company’s opportunity to drive daily engagement in its key restaurant vertical by allowing consumers to move more quickly from search and discovery to transacting at a local business. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The Company recorded no acquisition-related transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and zero and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 include $1.3 million and $3.9 million of revenue attributable to the Nowait product, respectively. The Company completed its integration of Nowait's operations into those of the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and, as such, determining Nowait's contribution to the net income of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is impracticable.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include $1.3 million and $2.6 million of revenue, respectively, and $1.9 million and $5.1 million of net loss, respectively, attributable to Nowait.
Turnstyle Analytics Inc.
On April 3, 2017, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in Turnstyle Analytics Inc. ("Turnstyle") for $20.6 million, approximately $1.0 million of which represents compensation cost due to a continuous service requirement, and the remainder of which represents purchase consideration. Of the total consideration paid in connection with the acquisition, $3.1 million was initially held in escrow for an 18-month period after the closing to secure the Company’s indemnification rights. The balance remaining in the escrow fund was $3.0 million as of September 30, 2018, and the remaining escrow funds were released in October 2018. The key factor underlying the acquisition was to obtain a customer retention and loyalty product in the form of a location-based marketing and analytics platform that provides Wi-Fi as a digital marketing tool to expand its product offerings for local businesses.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, with the results of Turnstyle’s operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from April 3, 2017. The final purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized. The goodwill results from the Company’s opportunity to expand its product offerings to local businesses through the Turnstyle marketing and analytics platform, which the Company renamed Yelp WiFi Marketing. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The Company recorded no acquisition-related transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and zero and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 include $0.9 million and $2.4 million of revenue attributable to Yelp WiFi Marketing, respectively.
The Company completed its integration of Turnstyle's operations into those of the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and, as such, determining Turnstyle's contribution to the net income of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is impracticable.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include $0.4 million and $0.8 million of revenue, respectively, and $4.0 million and $4.6 million of net loss, respectively, attributable to Turnstyle.
Eat24, LLC
On October 10, 2017, pursuant to the terms of a Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2017 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Eat24, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Eat24"), Grubhub Inc. ("Grubhub") and Grubhub Holdings Inc. ("Purchaser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grubhub, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests in Eat24 to the Purchaser (the "Disposal"). Immediately prior to the closing of the Disposal, the Company transferred certain assets to Eat24, which consisted of assets that were material to or necessary for the operation of the Eat24 business that were not then owned by Eat24. The Company entered into a Marketing Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") with the Purchaser concurrently with the Purchase Agreement. The purpose of the Disposal was to further capitalize on the Company's strong market position of connecting people with local businesses by selling Eat24 to the Purchaser, which has a strong presence in online and mobile food ordering, and entering into the Partnership Agreement, pursuant to which the Company earns a fee on all food orders placed through the Grubhub restaurant network, including Eat24 restaurants, that originate on the Company's Platform.
The Company received $251.7 million in cash at closing; the Purchaser paid the remaining $28.8 million of the purchase price into an escrow account, which will be held for an 18-month period after closing to secure the Purchaser's rights of indemnification under the Purchase Agreement and is presented on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as an other non-current asset (see Note 8). The Company received $1.0 million in additional purchase consideration on December 14, 2017 as a net working capital adjustment. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $164.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017, which is included in gain on disposal of a business unit in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, and which is net of $0.3 million in Disposal-related costs. Prior to the Disposal, Eat24 was its own reporting unit and $110.8 million of goodwill associated with the Eat24 reporting unit was derecognized and included with the net assets disposed. The gain recognized on the sale of Eat24 decreased by $1.1 million to $163.7 million as a result of an increase in the net assets of Eat24 as of the closing date due to the Company's adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 (see Note 1), which related to the recognition of capitalized contract costs.
The Disposal was accounted for as an asset group disposal in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." The results of Eat24's operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements through October 10, 2017. The loss before provision for income taxes attributable to Eat24 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively.
The Company acquired Eat24 on February 9, 2015. The final disbursement from the escrow account created to secure indemnification obligations related to the Company's acquisition of Eat24 was completed in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
