| Acquisition |
19) Acquisition On July 30, 2012 we completed a business combination within our aerospace segment. We acquired by merger, 100% of the stock of Max-Viz, Inc. (“Max-Viz”), a manufacturer of industry-leading Enhanced Vision Systems for defense and commercial aerospace applications for the purpose of improving situational awareness. The addition of Max-Viz diversifies the products and technologies that Astronics offers. We purchased the outstanding stock of Max-Viz for $10.6 million in cash plus contingent purchase consideration up to a maximum of $8.0 million subject to meeting certain revenue growth targets over the next three years. Max-Viz’s unaudited 2012 revenue through the acquisition date was approximately $5.4 million. The additional contingent purchase consideration of $0.1 million is recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition based upon the Company’s assessment of the probability of Max-Viz achieving the revenue growth targets. The goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of intangible assets that do not require separate recognition. Substantially all of the goodwill and purchased intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The purchase price allocation for the 2012 acquisition is substantially complete. The allocation for the 2012 acquisition is subject to subsequent adjustment as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods. |
