Acquisitions

Clean Energy Experts, LLC

In April 2015, the Company acquired Clean Energy Experts, LLC (“CEE”), a consumer demand and solar lead generation company, for $25.0 million in cash and 1.9 million shares of common stock. Of this amount, $15.0 million in cash was paid and 1.4 million shares were issued in April 2015. The remaining $10.0 million in cash and 500,000 shares are due in two equal installments: $5.0 million which was paid and 250,000 shares were issued in October 2015 and the second installment is due in April 2016. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. A portion of the purchase price was set aside in escrow for indemnification of potential liabilities, including potential tax liabilities.

An additional $9.1 million in cash and 600,000 shares of common stock may be issued on April 1, 2017, subject to the achievement of certain sales targets as well as continued employment of certain key employees acquired in the transaction, which will be recorded as compensation expense over a two-year period unless and until the Company assesses that the achievement of sales targets is not probable. The acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s efficient and consistent access to high-quality leads in existing and new markets.

The Company has included the results of operations of the acquired business in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CEE acquisition have been recorded based on their fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill recorded is primarily attributable to the acquired assembled workforce and the synergies expected to arise after the CEE acquisition. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the contribution of the acquired business to the Company’s total revenues was $7.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as measured from the date of the acquisition. The portion of total expenses and net income associated with the acquired business was not separately identifiable due to the integration with the Company’s operations.
