BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In June 2013, the Company acquired ESP, comprising two energy management consulting companies and located in Castleford, United Kingdom. The Company made an initial cash payment of $8,829,213 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of the ESP companies. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital and for certain indemnity obligations of the selling stockholders. The Company deposited approximately $777,710 of the initial cash payment with a third-party escrow agent as security for these matters.
In February 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ennovate Corporation, an energy service company active throughout Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana and Wyoming, serving customers that include schools, higher education facilities, municipalities and counties. The Company made an initial cash payment of approximately $1,800,000 to acquire these assets. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital and for certain indemnity obligations of the seller. The Company deposited approximately $1,200,000 of the initial cash payment with a third-party escrow agent as security for these matters.
In July 2012, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Ameresco Canada Inc. acquired FAME, a privately held company offering infrastructure asset management solutions serving both public and private sector customers primarily in western Canada. The Company made a cash payment of $4,486,950 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of FAME. The Company deposited approximately $900,000 of the purchase price with a third-party escrow agent as security for the selling stockholders’ indemnification obligations under the terms of the acquisition agreement.
The Company’s acquisitions in 2013 and 2012 were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price for each has been allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair values at the date of each acquisition as set forth in the table below. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. Intangible assets identified have been recorded and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to fourteen years. See Note 4 for additional information.
