Investment in Private Services Company

On January 8, 2020, the Company acquired a 4.25% membership interest in a private services company for cash consideration of $11,000. The private services company partners with independent network advisory firms to help them grow, become more profitable and run more efficiently. The Company will use the equity method of accounting to record its portion of the private services company’s net income or loss on a one quarter lag from the actual results of operations. The Company uses the equity method of accounting because of its less than 50% ownership and lack of control and does not otherwise exercise control over the significant economic decisions of the private services company.

The private services company is and remains a client of the Company and has thus been determined to be a related party. Revenues from the private services company totaled $2,883 and $7,956 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had recorded a net receivable of $1,803 from the private services company.

The Company recorded a liability as of the date of acquisition of $5,239, which represented the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the date of acquisition.

In June 2020, the Company determined that certain performance targets for this acquisition would not be met. As a result, the Company reduced the contingent consideration liability plus accrued interest associated with this acquisition by $1,982 and recorded this as a reduction to general and administration expenses. In September 2020, the Company further reduced the contingent consideration liability associated with this acquisition by an immaterial amount. Future changes to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration, if any, will be recognized in earnings of the Company.

The Company recorded estimated goodwill of $7,017, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, and estimated identifiable intangible assets for proprietary technologies of $1,000. The tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not material.

The goodwill arising from these acquisitions represents the expected synergistic benefits of these transactions, primarily related to an increase in future revenues as a result of potential new business and cross selling opportunities, as well as enhancements to our existing technologies.

For the Company's 2020 acquisitions, the estimated fair values of certain of the assets and liabilities acquired are provisional and based on the information that was available to the Company as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies and are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of these estimated assets and liabilities as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
