BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of an acquisition is assigned to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company uses a valuation hierarchy, as further described under Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Note 1 above, and typically utilizes independent third-party valuation specialists to determine the fair values used in this allocation. Purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

IIS, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is the owner and developer of the CalTree™ suite of software solutions for the automation of calibration procedures and datasheet generation. Total consideration for the shares of IIS was 1.4 million Canadian dollars, subject in part to the achievement of certain milestones. 1.0 million Canadian dollars was paid during fiscal year 2020 and was included as a business acquisition in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. 1.0 million Canadian dollars has been allocated to software and property and equipment and 0.3 million Canadian has been allocated to goodwill.

GRS: Effective April 1, 2019, Transcat acquired substantially all of the assets of Gauge Repair Service (“GRS”), a California-based provider of calibration services. This transaction leveraged the Company’s infrastructure while also increasing the depth and breadth of the Company’s service capabilities. Due to the immaterial amount of the purchase price of the GRS assets, it has been included in the purchases of property and equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Certain of the Company’s acquisition agreements include provisions for contingent consideration and other holdback amounts. The Company accrues for contingent consideration and holdback provisions based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. As of December 26, 2020, there was $0.1 million of other holdback amounts unpaid and reflected in current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the third quarter of each of fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020, no contingent consideration or other holdback amounts were paid.

During each of the first nine months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, acquisition costs of less than $0.1 million were recorded as incurred as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
