The Company has agreed to pay consideration contingent upon the Twisted Technologies business meeting revenue targets over a three-year period, with the consideration to be paid after each annual period has lapsed. The Company has recognized $163,000 as the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. The maximum payout is not limited.

The entire goodwill balance is deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma impact of Twisted Technologies was not significant to the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2015.
