3. ACQUISITIONS

Milbank:

On November 1, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Milbank. A fair value adjustment to contingent purchase price consideration of $541 and $148 was recorded at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is included in general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years then ended. The Company has a liability of $1,325 and $1,295 related to Milbank included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for contingent consideration. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company made contingent purchase price payments to Milbank of $511 and $462, respectively.

Commodity Advisors:

On April 1, 2012, SLP acquired Commodity Advisors. Commodity Advisors was the general partner of MW Commodity Strategies, L.P. (the “MW Commodity Fund LLC”), a fund whose investment objective is to seek superior risk adjusted returns through strategic, sector-based investments with commodity and macro trading investment managers. The acquisition of Commodity Advisors added another strategy to the Company’s investment management, wealth planning and reporting capabilities, including proprietary value equity and fixed income disciplines and alternative investment advisory services. On April 1, 2012, SLP, in exchange for the member interests of Commodity Advisors, issued units of SLP and GP LLC, at closing, with a fair value of $132. Furthermore, SLP is obligated to make quarterly contingent payments if incremental income, as defined in the purchase agreement, exceeds various thresholds. As these contingent payments are tied to the continued employment by SLP of the former member of Commodity Advisors, they will be considered compensation expense in the period in which such contingent payments are earned (See Note 10).           

The following table summarizes the final amounts allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets.

Ten-Sixty:

On March 28, 2013, SLP executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with and closed the related transaction to acquire certain assets of Ten-Sixty. Ten-Sixty is a registered investment adviser that advises on approximately $1.9 billion of assets primarily on behalf of institutional clients. This strategic acquisition enhances the Company’s hedge fund and investment manager due diligence capabilities, risk management analysis and reporting, and enhances its institutional business. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, SLP paid cash consideration at closing of $2,500 and issued a promissory note to Ten-Sixty in the principal amount of $1,479 subject to adjustment. The principal amount of the promissory note was paid in two initial installments of $218 each on April 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 and then quarterly installments from June 30, 2014 through March 31, 2017 of $87 each. The principal amount outstanding under this note bears interest at the rate of five percent per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2013, SLP incurred $51 in costs related to the acquisition of Ten-Sixty, and has included these in general and administrative in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The net tangible assets acquired from the Ten-Sixty transaction were determined to have a fair value of $0.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets.

The Company believes the recorded goodwill is supported by the anticipated revenues and expected synergies of integrating the operations of Ten-Sixty into the Company. Furthermore, there are expected synergies with respect to compensation and benefits and general and administrative costs. All goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The pro forma information below represents consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of Commodity Advisors occurred on January 1, 2012 and the acquisition of Ten-Sixty occurred on January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2012. The pro forma information has been included for comparative purposes and is not indicative of results of operations of the Company had the acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2013 and 2012, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenue and net income of Ten-Sixty for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations were $1,020 and $126, respectively.
