(“Point Grey”), a global leader in the development of advanced visible imaging cameras and solutions that are used in industrial automation systems, medical diagnostic equipment, people counting systems, intelligent traffic systems, military and defense products, and advanced mapping systems, for approximately $259.2 million in cash.

The allocation of the purchase price related to this acquisition is based on management’s judgments after evaluating several factors, including valuation assessments of tangible and intangible assets, and estimates of the fair value of liabilities assumed. The goodwill of $183.7 million represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and the ability of Point Grey to provide the Company domain knowledge and distribution channels in adjacent markets.
In connection with the allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company identified certain intangible assets. The following table presents the acquired intangible assets, their estimated fair values, and estimated useful lives (in thousands, except years):

Acquisition-date identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of intangibles derived from developed technology, customer relationships, backlog, and non-competition agreements. Developed technology represents the economic advantage of having certain technologies in place that lowers manufacturing and operating costs and drives higher margins. Customer relationships represents the relationships Point Grey has established in the OEM and people counting markets as of the date of the acquisition. Backlog represents “pre-sold” business at the date of acquisition, which provides positive earning streams post acquisition that exceed what is required to provide a return on the other assets employed. Non-competition agreements represent the economic benefit of having agreements with certain current and former employees and shareholders of Point Grey that restrict their ability to compete directly with the Company.
The developed technology was valued using the income approach and relief from royalty method. Customer relationships and backlog were valued using the income approach and multi-period excess earnings method. Non-competition agreements were valued using the income approach and the with-and-without method.
