Wheeler Bros., Inc.

On June 6, 2011, we acquired WBI, a supply chain management company that supplies vehicle parts to the USPS and DoD.  We see significant opportunities for leveraging WBI's supply chain capabilities with our work of extending the service lives of legacy ships, vehicles, aircraft and their systems.   

Cash paid at closing was $180 million, which includes approximately $1.9 million of prepaid retention bonuses that are being expensed in the post-acquisition period as the employees provide service. As such, the initial cash purchase price was approximately $178.1 million. WBI's results of operations are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income beginning June 6, 2011.  Additional cash consideration of $3 million was paid to the sellers during the first quarter of 2012 based on the final working capital adjustment that was recorded as additional goodwill and an accrued liability during December 2011.

  We may be required to make total payments of up to $40 million over a four-year post-closing period if WBI achieves certain financial performance targets. WBI achieved required financial performance targets for the earn-out period ended June 30, 2012. Approximately $7.1 million was paid to the sellers in September 2012 based on WBI's performance during the earn-out period. Included in earn-out obligations on the December 31, 2012 balance sheet is an earn-out obligation of approximately $9.1 million, which represents our best estimate of the fair value of the earn-out obligation. Changes in the fair value of the earn-out obligations are recognized in earnings in the period of change through settlement
 
 
Akimeka, LLC

On August 19, 2010, we acquired Akimeka, which is a health services information technology consulting company serving the government market.
 
Cash paid at closing was $33 million, which included $725 thousand of prepaid retention bonuses that are being expensed in the post-acquisition period as the employees provide service.  As such, the initial cash purchase price was $32.3 million.  Additional cash consideration of approximately $363 thousand was paid in December 2010 to the sellers based on the final working capital calculation.

Upon acquisition, potential additional payments ("earn-out") were payable to the sellers of up to $11 million over a three-year post-closing period if Akimeka achieved certain financial performance targets. Akimeka did not achieve the required financial performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, therefore no payments were due.  We have not recorded a liability associated with the final earn-out period ending December 31, 2013 on our December 31, 2012 balance sheet as no future payments are expected.  Changes in the fair value of the earn-out obligations are recognized in earnings in the period of change through settlement.
