(“DCPayments”) and Spark ATM Systems Pty Ltd. (“Spark”), which were acquired during 2017 and whose total assets constituted 26% of consolidated total assets (of which 19% represents goodwill and intangible assets included within the scope of the assessment) and total revenues constituted 18% of consolidated total revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Cardtronics, Inc. also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of DCPayments and Spark.
