2. ACQUISITIONS:

Seesmart – On December 20, 2012, Revolution purchased all the equity interests of Seesmart Technologies, Inc. for consideration of approximately $10.1 million in cash funded by the issuance of Series C convertible preferred stock, approximately 7.7 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $5.0 million and 11,915 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock valued at approximately $1.0 million. The purchase price was subject to adjustment to the extent that working capital (as defined in the agreement) at closing differed from the amount specified in the agreement. The final working capital adjustment reduced the purchase price by approximately $1.2 million and has been reflected in these financial statements as a reduction of goodwill. As described below, the Company settled outstanding convertible note obligations of Seesmart, which resulted in a total preliminary purchase price of $18.3 million for the enterprise value of the business. In accordance with the relevant accounting standard, the December 31, 2012 balance sheet has been retroactively adjusted to reduce goodwill and the Seesmart purchase price obligations liability by $ 1.3 million.

Under the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to distribute the consideration to Seesmart Technologies, Inc.’s shareholders. As this required the Company to obtain current information from Seesmart Technologies, Inc.’s shareholders and note holders, not all of the consideration was distributed prior to June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 171,324 shares of common stock and paid $600,000 as consideration for the Seesmart acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 738 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, issued 1,992,996 shares of common stock and paid approximately $3.3 million as consideration for the Seesmart acquisition. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains provisions for certain escrow amounts of cash and stock. The Company has recorded a liability for the undistributed consideration and unfunded escrow of approximately $663,000 at June 30, 2013.

On the acquisition date, Seesmart had outstanding convertible notes payable. In accordance with terms of the notes, the notes were converted into the right to receive cash equal to the principal, a 20% premium on the principal plus accrued interest. On the acquisition date, the Company’s cash obligation totaled approximately $3.4 million. During the first quarter of 2013 pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Company offered the note holders to exchange the notes for common stock, at an exchange rate of $0.6959 per share. Holders representing approximately $1 million of the cash obligation elected to receive a total of 1,479,947 shares of common stock. The Company has recognized an approximate $68,000 reduction in the carrying value of goodwill representing the difference in the cash obligation and the value of the common stock issued, based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the acquisition date. The remaining holders elected to be paid in cash and received approximately $2.4 million. The Seesmart convertible notes payable was completely extinguished during the first quarter of 2013.

Elite LED Solutions – On March 8, 2013, Lighting Integration Technologies, Inc. (“LIT”) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired certain assets of Elite LED Solutions, Inc. (“Elite”) for $500,000 in cash and 300,000 of the Company’s common shares in consideration valued at $356,250 contingent on the fulfillment of customer revenue contracts acquired. Concurrently, the Company entered into a five-year sales consulting agreement with the principals of the sellers pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay a $20,000 monthly fee plus additional fees based on achieving specified sales targets and 3% of the net profits of LIT as defined. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the sellers, which vest over the five-year term of the agreement. The issuance of the shares is being accounted for as compensation to non-employees.

The transaction has been accounted as a business combination and the issuance of the common shares vesting over 5 years has been accounted as compensation pursuant to ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The Company acquired the business primarily because of the unfulfilled customer revenue contracts acquired and the estimated operating synergies expected to be realized with Seesmart. The following summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired. The final allocation will be completed within one year of the acquisition:

 

Customer revenue contracts

   $ 1,599,000   

Gain on bargain purchase

     (742,750
  

 

 

 

Preliminary purchase price

   $ 856,250   
  

 

 

 

The Company is amortizing the acquired contracts over the term of the cash flows generated by the contracts, which are expected to be realized within one year.

The pro forma results of the acquisition are not materially different from the Company’s historical results.
