SensiML Acquisition

On January 3, 2019, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement, or the Stock Purchase Agreement, with SensiML for the purchase of all of its issued and outstanding common stock in exchange for the Company’s common stock, or the SensiML Acquisition.

SensiML has a software toolkit enabling IoT developers to quickly and easily create smart devices, transforming rich sensors into actionable event detectors.

SensiML’s Analytics Toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption. The SensiML Analytics Toolkit enables OEMs to quickly and easily leverage the power of local AI in edge, endpoint and wearable designs without the need for significant Data Science or Firmware Engineering resources.

The results of operations for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019 include operating activity for SensiML since its acquisition date of January 3, 2019. For the nine months ended September 29, 2019, revenues attributable to SensiML included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were not significant. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, charges of $37,000 and $111,000, respectively, were attributable to the amortization of purchased intangible assets were included in the statements of operations for respective periods. Deal costs associated with the acquisition were $104,000 for the nine months period ended September 29, 2019. Deal costs were included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Purchase Price Allocation

Under the purchase accounting method, the total preliminary purchase price was allocated to SensiML’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which can be no more than one year from the date of acquisition, the Company expects to continue to obtain information to determine the final fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value discussed above are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

Intangible assets associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future technology, market presence and knowledgeable and experienced workforce. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined using the income approach taking into account the Company’s consideration of a number of inputs, including an independent third-party analysis that was based upon estimates and assumptions provided by the Company. These estimates and assumptions were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired was allocated at SensiML’s acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized for financial accounting purposes and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and SensiML, who agreed to indemnify each other for certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and other specified matters. Approximately $200,000 in value of the Company’s common stock of the purchase price was placed in escrow as security for post-closing working capital adjustments. Escrow period ends at the close of the business day on January 2, 2020.
