Acquisitions

Refill Business

On November 10, 2010, we acquired certain assets of the Refill Business pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 1, 2010. The Refill Business provided us with an established platform to expand into the self-serve filtered drinking water vending business (refill services). The refill services are complementary to our exchange services from both a product and operational perspective. The total purchase price for the Refill Business was $109,095, which was paid with $74,474 in proceeds from the IPO and $34,621 from the issuance of 2,588 of our common shares valued at $13.38 per share. The Refill Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination are recorded at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon appraisals obtained from an unrelated third party valuation specialist. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired resulting in goodwill of $77,560, which is amortizable for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists and will be amortized over 15 years. Operations of the acquired entity are included in the consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date. Fees and expenses associated with the acquisition of the Refill Business were approximately $2,101.
