Transactions Completed in Fiscal Year 2022

Remote Maintenance Systems LP — On October 24, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding interest of its majority-owned subsidiary, Remote Maintenance Systems LP, doing business as Parasol (“Parasol”), the provider of 24/7 remote support service based on OvrC, creating new opportunities for the Company’s integrators.

The Company acquired the remaining outstanding equity shares of Parasol in exchange of $1,100 of the Company’s common shares. The Company made an initial investment and established its controlling interest in 2018, and has included the results of operations, assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial reports since 2018.

Clare Controls, LLC — On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired the assets and specific liabilities of Clare Controls, LLC. (“Clare”), a provider of home automation and security products for whom Snap One has been a distributor since 2019. The Clare acquisition enabled Snap One to convert Clare’s product suite into higher-margin proprietary products and drive growth with professional integrators in adjacent markets.

During the measurement period, certain adjustments were recorded to increase goodwill to $2,746 to account for adjustments to the working capital calculation.

Transaction Completed in Fiscal Year 2021 — On May 4, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired the issued and outstanding shares of ANLA, LLC. (“Access Networks”), an enterprise-grade networking solutions provider offering networking products, design, configuration, monitoring and support services. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s networking solutions for residential and commercial networks. The Company agreed to a purchase price of $36,641, consisting of both cash and equity, plus contingent consideration of up to $2,000 based upon the achievement of specified financial targets. The Access Networks acquisition closed on May 28, 2021.

The consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the closing date. The Company allocated any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Goodwill arising from the Access Networks acquisition primarily consists of synergies from integrating the distribution of products through the Company’s existing distribution channels.

As part of the acquisition, the Company was be required to pay additional consideration upon the achievement of specified financial targets. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2,000. During the year ended December 30, 2022, the agreement was modified to change the covered revenue period, reducing expected payouts based on future revenues. As a result of the modification, the fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $250 and was paid during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 30, 2023. The change in fair value
was recorded as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company has recorded a liability of $250 as of December 30, 2022 in accrued liabilities and $2,000 as of December 31, 2021 in other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Total liabilities assumed3,780 
Net identifiable assets acquired17,615 
Goodwill21,026 
Net assets acquired$38,641 

As of the acquisition date, for income tax purposes, goodwill of $13,616 was determined to be deductible in future periods. The acquisition of Access Networks was treated partially as a taxable acquisition and therefore any contingent consideration paid would result in an increase in tax deductible goodwill. As of the acquisition date, the tax basis in deductible goodwill was evaluated based on the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date being settled in full. As a result of the reduction in contingent consideration expected to be paid, the value of tax-deductible goodwill was reduced by the same amount, bringing the value to $11,866 as of the year ended December 30, 2022.

The Company recorded intangible assets related to the acquisition based on estimated fair value, which consisted of the following:

Other liabilities assumed consisted primarily of warranty reserves and deferred revenue. The long-term warranty reserves are primarily based on historical failure rates, costs to repair or replace the product, and any necessary shipping costs, which are considered to approximate the fair value of the remaining obligation. Deferred revenue was recorded at fair value, resulting in a cumulative balance for the acquisition of $883 in accrued liabilities and $586 in other liabilities.

The Company recognized $197 of transaction-related expenses, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, and other professional fees related to the acquisition. These transaction-related expenses were incurred by and for the benefit of the Company, and were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
