NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION

On July 27, 2011, the Company acquired Patapsco Designs Limited of the UK ("Patapsco"). The purchase price totals $5,094,000, with cash acquired totaling $862,000. The purchase price includes initial consideration of $3,271,000, deferred consideration of $466,000 to be paid out no later than 18 months from the acquisition date, $656,000 in working capital adjustments, and $701,000 in contingent consideration. The Company has agreed to pay consideration up to $818,000 contingent upon the Patapsco business meeting gross margin and other non-financial targets, with the consideration to paid out no later than two years from the acquisition date. Although the maximum contingent consideration is $818,000, the Company has recognized $701,000 as the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. This contingent consideration has been calculated based on the exchange rate at the date of acquisition and actual payments may differ based on fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the pound. At March 31, 2012, the Company had estimated liabilities of $995,000 related to outstanding consideration payments.

The assets and liabilities of Patapsco were recorded at their respective fair values in the consolidated balance sheet within the Transition Networks' segment as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated as follows:

Identifiable intangible assets are definite-lived assets. These assets include customer relationships, trademarks, and technology intangible assets, and have a weighted average amortization period of 8 years, which matches the weighted average useful life of the assets. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation is not tax deductible.

The estimated fair value of remaining contingent consideration as of March 31, 2012 was approximately $995,000, as noted above. The estimated fair value is considered a level 3 measurement because the probability weighted discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate fair value includes the use of significant unobservable inputs, primarily the contractual contingent consideration gross margin targets and assumed probabilities. There was not a significant change in either the estimated contingent consideration fair value or the fair value inputs during the first quarter of 2012. Any change in our estimated liability for contingent consideration will increase or decrease operating income in future periods.
