The fair value of the acquired trademark and technology was estimated using the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method. The fair value of the in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was estimated using the replacement cost method.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is deductible over 15 years.

The results of operations of Adcole for the period from March 2, 2020 to September 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net loss included in the Successor 2020 Period were $5,733 thousand and $1,145 thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the Successor 2020 Period were $2,055 thousand.

On June 1, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of DSS in exchange for cash and 1,000,000 units of the Successor’s Holdings’ equity (“Parent Units”). The acquisition supported the Company’s growth in its offering of engineering solutions.

Total intangible assets
 $ 850 
The fair value of the acquired trademark was determined using the RFR method. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was determined using the excess earnings method.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible.

The results of operations of DSS for the period from June 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net loss included in the Successor 2020 Period were $3,134 thousand and $563 thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the Successor 2020 Period were $434 thousand.

During the Successor 2021 Period, there was a measurement period adjustment to goodwill of $85 thousand, decreasing the balance to $3,899 thousand. Refer to Note H for further discussion.

MIS Acquisition
On June 22, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of MIS in exchange for cash and 2,615,726 Parent Units. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth in its offering of space structures.

The purchase agreement with the sellers of MIS awarded such sellers with a contingent right to an earnout payment from the Company upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones over the year ended December 31, 2020. The earnout amount would be computed as $1.50 for every $1.00 of MIS Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement), in excess of $40,000
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the contingent earnout would not exceed $15,000 thousand or be less than $0.

The fair value of the earnout is arrived at using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“OPM”) using the following assumptions:
MIS Black-Scholes OPM Assumptions
Risk-free interest rate
 0.05  %
Revenue volatility
 51.7  %

Including the equity component, the total fair value of the contingent earnout payment of $11,491 thousand was settled as of September 30, 2021 for $2,203 thousand in cash and $9,288 thousand in equity of Holdings and is reflected in contingent earnout expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the Successor 2021 Period as the adjustment in fair value occurred subsequent to the MIS measurement period.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The fair value of the acquired trademark and technology was estimated using the RFR method. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible.

The results of operations of MIS for the period from June 22, 2020 to September 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net income included in the Successor 2020 Period were $8,788 thousand and $440 thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the Successor 2020 Period were $4,132 thousand.

During the Successor 2021 Period, there was a measurement period adjustment to goodwill of $512 thousand, decreasing the balance to $14,808 thousand. Refer to Note H for further discussion.

Roccor Acquisition
On October 28, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of Roccor in exchange for cash and 1,564,531 Parent Units. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth in its offering of space structures.

The purchase agreement with the sellers of Roccor awarded such sellers with a contingent right to an earnout payment from the Company upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones for the year ended December 31, 2021. The earnout amount would be based on one of the following: (i) $0 if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is less than $30,000 thousand, (ii) $1,000 thousand if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $30,000 thousand but less than $40,000 thousand, (iii) $2,000 thousand if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $40,000 thousand. The fair value of the Roccor contingent earnout was estimated using the Black-Scholes OPM; the fair value of the Roccor contingent earnout was $550 thousand as of the acquisition date. 

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes OPM were as follows:
Roccor Black-Scholes OPM Assumptions
Risk-free interest rate
 0.1  %
Revenue discount rate
 7.0  %
Revenue volatility
 30.0  %
Earnout payment discount rate
 4.0  %

During the Successor 2021 Period, the revenue based earnout described above and accrued to date of $338 thousand was recorded in contingent earnout expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The purchase agreement also stipulated that certain funds in the amount of $466 thousand were to be held in escrow (the “PBR Escrow”), subject to a variance (the “PBR Variance”), for the benefit of the sellers. The PBR Variance was defined as the excess revenue recorded by Roccor for the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the difference between Roccor’s forecasted revenues and Roccor’s actual revenues for the eight months ended August 31, 2020. Upon determination of the PBR Variance, an amount equal to (i) the PBR Escrow less (ii) the PBR Variance will be disbursed to the sellers of Roccor; any remaining PBR Escrow funds will be disbursed to the Company. Since the transfer of the PBR Escrow funds is contingent upon the PBR Variance, the Company’s obligation to deliver the PBR Escrow funds net of PBR Variance was determined to be a contingent consideration. The fair value of the PBR Variance was determined to be $359 thousand as of the acquisition date, therefore contingent consideration related to PBR Escrow was determined to be $107 thousand. PBR Escrow amount of $107 thousand was paid to sellers of Roccor in March 2021.
