19.          Business Acquisitions

 

On February 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of 36% of the common shares of Altoy for cash consideration of $625,000, which increased its interest from 49% to 85% and provided the Company with control over Altoy. As a result, Altoy became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on the date of the acquisition. Altoy aims to market and distribute small UAS in Turkey. The Company previously accounted for its 49% interest in Altoy as an equity method investment. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is expected to expand the sales of its small UAS and related services in Turkey.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Altoy and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Altoy at the acquisition date (in thousands):

As a result of the Company obtaining control over Altoy, the Company’s previously held 49% interest was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of $584,000 which has been recognized in “other income (loss), net” on the consolidated statement of income.

 

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest of $260,000 and the fair value of the previously held equity interest of $851,000 in Altoy, immediately prior to the acquisition, were estimated by applying an income approach. These fair value measurements of the noncontrolling interest and the previously held equity interest are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 measurements.

 

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of Altoy and expected future customers in the Turkey market.  Goodwill is not tax deductible for tax purposes.  All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s UAS segment.

 

The Company tests identifiable intangible assets and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year unless there are interim indicators that suggest that it is more likely than not that either the identifiable intangible assets or goodwill may be impaired. Due to the current political situation within Turkey and the increased uncertainty in the relations between the U.S. and Turkey, the Company significantly lowered its cash flow expectations for its Altoy operations. As a result of the decline in the Company’s cash flow forecast, the Company performed an interim assessment of impairment of Altoy’s long-lived assets, excluding goodwill during the three months ended October 28, 2017. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of Altoy had declined below its carrying value, excluding goodwill. As a result, the Company performed additional analysis to determine the amount of the impairment loss and recorded an impairment loss totaling $899,000 during the three months ended October 28, 2017, which is included in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Altoy asset group was determined based on a discounted cash flow model reflective of the revised cash flow estimates.

 

Supplemental Pro Forma Information (unaudited)

 

Altoy contributed revenues of $0 and a net loss of $122,000 to the Company for the period from February 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on May 1, 2015 (in thousands):

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.

 

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Altoy to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from May 1, 2015, with the consequential tax effects.

 

The Company incurred approximately $74,000 of acquisition-related costs. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated income statement for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017 and are reflected in pro forma net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, in the table above.

 

The unaudited pro forma supplemental information is based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable and are not necessarily indicative of the results that have been realized had the acquisitions been consolidated in the tables above as of May 1, 2015.
