Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions

Acquisition of the Previously Licensed Business in South Korea

On January 1, 2016, the Company acquired direct control of its previously licensed business in South Korea upon the related license expiration. In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired certain net assets (including inventory and fixed assets) from the Company’s former licensee in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $3.6 million. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination and began consolidating the South Korean business into its operations beginning with the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016.

This acquisition resulted in a gain of $3.7 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the assets acquired over the consideration paid, which was recorded in other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for Fiscal 2016. The purchase price was negotiated upon the natural expiration of the licensing agreement, which allowed the Company to negotiate favorable terms for the assets that could no longer be used by the licensee. Prior to recognizing a bargain purchase gain, the Company reassessed whether all assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been correctly identified, as well as the key valuation assumptions and business combination accounting procedures for this acquisition. After careful consideration and review, it was concluded that the recognition of a bargain purchase gain is appropriate for this acquisition.

Acquisition of Controlling Interest in a Joint Venture

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company made contributions to MK Panama totaling $18.5 million, consisting of cash consideration of $3.0 million and the elimination of liabilities owed to the Company of $15.5 million, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 75%. As a result of obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama, which was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company began consolidating MK Panama into its operations during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. The additional ownership interest provides the Company with more direct control over its operations in Latin America and will allow it to better manage its opportunities in the region.
