3. Acquisitions

SystemMetrics Corporation

        On September 30, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition for all the voting stock of SystemMetrics Corporation ("SystemMetrics") for $16.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired and purchase price adjustments. Of the total purchase price, $11.9 million was paid at closing of the purchase with the balance subject to an earn-out over a three year period. Payment of the earn-out is contingent on SystemMetrics meeting certain performance metrics and continued employment of the SystemMetrics' key executive. For financial reporting purposes, the earn-out is accounted for as compensation expense as earned. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the earn-out amounted to $1.1 million.

        SystemMetrics provides virtual and physical data center colocation services in the State of Hawaii along with other telecommunication services that are complementary to the Company's operations. Transaction costs amounted to $0.9 million, were primarily professional fees and were recognized as general and administrative expenses as incurred in 2013.

        The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their provisional fair values, which estimates and assumptions were subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period was considered closed as of June 30, 2014. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values was recorded as goodwill.

        In 2013, subsequent to the measurement date and within the measurement period, the Company obtained new information related to tax basis that allowed for refinements to provisional amounts. The measurement period adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no changes made to the allocation of the purchase price in 2014. The adjustments in 2013 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

        The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the highest and best use of the specific properties. To determine fair value, the Company considered and applied primarily the cost approach. This approach considers the amount required to construct or purchase a new asset of equal utility at current prices with adjustments to the value for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence. The fair value of intangible assets including the trade name and customer relationship intangibles were based on discounted cash flows from projections of results of operations for SystemMetrics. The fair value of liabilities assumed was based on the present value of the expected future cash flows.

        The goodwill recognized is attributed to the anticipated growth opportunities for colocation services and from combining the operations of the Company and SystemMetrics. This includes the ability of the Company to offer a complete data solution to its business customers with more robust virtual and physical colocation. In addition, as a significant component of colocation services is data transmission, the Company can offer SystemMetrics customers multiple transmission options. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax reporting purposes and is attributed to the newly formed data center colocation segment.

        The following unaudited pro forma results of operations are provided for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as if the acquisition of SystemMetrics occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma combined results of operations have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of the Company to include the historical results of SystemMetrics. Adjustments were made to the historical results for the purchase price allocation which primarily impacts depreciation and amortization, to eliminate the interest on certain debt financing which was not assumed in the purchase, to eliminate certain intercompany revenue between the entities and to reallocate the transaction related expenses from the 2013 to the 2012 period.

        These supplemental pro forma results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined company for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma results of operations do not include any costs savings or synergies that resulted, or will result, from the acquisition or any estimated costs that will be incurred to integrate SystemMetrics. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in this pro forma financial information because of future events and transactions as well as other factors.

        The pro forma results are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Wavecom Solutions Corporation

        On December 31, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition for all the voting stock of Wavecom Solutions Corporation ("Wavecom") for $8.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired and final purchase adjustments. Wavecom provides telecommunication services in the State of Hawaii which are complementary to the Company's operations. Transaction costs amounted to $0.8 million in 2012, were primarily professional fees and were recognized as general and administrative expenses as incurred.

        The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their provisional fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, the Company recognized adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation based on new information as to the existence and value of certain assets and liabilities. The measurement period adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands):

        The Company had a receivable from Wavecom equal to the amount of the payable from Wavecom to the Company. These intercompany balances are now eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company had previously recognized an allowance reducing the carrying value of the receivable to zero because of concerns regarding collectability. With the acquisition of Wavecom and effective settlement of the balance due, the Company recognized a gross settlement gain of $4.0 million for its pre-existing relationship with Wavecom. The Company estimates the net impact the settlement gain offset by bad debt expense on Wavecom balances resulted in a net credit of $2.5 million to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the highest and best use of the specific properties. To determine fair value the Company considered and applied primarily the cost approach. This approach considers the amount required to construct or purchase a new asset of equal utility at current prices with adjustments to the value for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence. The fair value of intangible assets including the brand name and customer relationship intangibles were based on discounted cash flows from projections of results for Wavecom's operations.

        The goodwill recognized is attributed to the anticipated synergies to be achieved by combining the operations of the Company and Wavecom. This includes the ability to provide the Company and Wavecom customers a similar set of telecommunication offerings using a joint network composed of the best components of both organizations. All of the goodwill is deductible for income tax reporting purposes and is attributed to the telecommunications segment.

        The following unaudited pro forma results of operations are provided for the year ended December 31, 2012 as if the acquisition of Wavecom occurred on January 1, 2011. The pro forma combined results of operations have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of the Company to include the historical results of Wavecom. Adjustments were made to the historical results for the purchase price allocation which primarily impacts depreciation and amortization, to eliminate the interest on certain debt financing which was not assumed in the purchase, to eliminate certain intercompany revenue between the entities and to reallocate the transaction related expenses from the year ended December 31, 2012 to the year ended December 31, 2011.
