In April 2017, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Instrument Associates, LLC d/b/a Nutfield Technology (“Nutfield”), a component technology business located in Hudson, New Hampshire, which specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced galvanometer-based optical scanners, scan heads and laser kits, for a total purchase price of approximately $5.5 million. This acquisition supports our long-term strategy to expand our presence in key markets and improve our existing product lines with innovative technology. The results of Nutfield’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

On March 9, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Laser Control Systems Limited (“Laser Control Systems”), a laser component technology business located in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, which specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced digital scan heads and laser software, for a purchase price of $1.7 million. An additional $0.7 million in contingent consideration may be earned by the former owners if certain milestones are met. This acquisition supports our long-term strategy to expand our presence in key markets and improve our existing product lines with innovative technology. The results of Laser Control Systems’ operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018.

On March 16, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Photocore AG, a vision-based 3D measurement application and software developer, for a total purchase price of $2.4 million. This acquisition supports our long-term strategy to improve our existing software offerings with innovative technology. The results of PhotoCore AG’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018.

On July 6, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Lanmark Controls, Inc.

On July 13, 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding corporate capital of Opto-Tech SRL and its subsidiary Open Technologies SRL (collectively, “Open Technologies”), a 3D structured light scanning solution company located in Brescia, Italy, for an aggregate purchase price of up to €18.5 million, subject to post-closing adjustments based on actual net working capital, net financial position and transaction expenses. The aggregate purchase price includes up to €4.0 million in contingent consideration that may be earned by the former owners if certain product development milestones are met. This acquisition supports our long-term strategy to establish a presence in 3D measurement technology used in other industries and applications.

The acquisitions of Nutfield, Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark, and Open Technologies constitute business combinations as defined by ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations marked as “Preliminary” below are based on the information that was available to make estimates of the fair value and may change as further information becomes available and additional analyses are completed. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values, we may obtain more information and evidence during the measurement period that result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. The measurement period ends on the earlier of one year after the acquisition date or the date we received the information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Subsequent adjustments, if necessary, will be recognized during the period in which the amounts are determined. These refinements include: (1) changes in the estimated fair value of certain intangible assets acquired; and (2) changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the fair value estimates. The purchase price allocation marked as “Final” below represents our final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for such acquisition.

Following is a summary of our allocations of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of each acquisition:

The goodwill for the Nutfield, Laser Control Systems, Lanmark and Open Technologies acquisitions has been allocated to the Emerging Verticals reporting segment. The goodwill for the Photocore AG acquisition has been allocated to the Construction BIM reporting segment.

Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, but are recognized as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. To date, we have incurred approximately $0.7 million in acquisition and integration costs for the acquisitions in 2017 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Pro forma financial results for Nutfield, Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark, and Open Technologies have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our consolidated financial results.
