A2IA GROUP II AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
A2IA Group II, SAS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of A2iA Group II, SAS (a French company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, reconciliation of consolidated net loss, changes in consolidated equity attributable to owners, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. We also have audited the reconciliation tables from French GAAP to US GAAP for the years then ended as disclosed in the note 3.26 to the consolidated financial statements of A2IA Group II SAS.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in France; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and these reconciliation tables based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of A2iA Group II SAS as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in France.

We did not audit the financial statements of A2IA Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets constituting $3.277.432 and $2.788.098, respectively, of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and total revenues of $6.523.586 and $6.901.974, respectively, of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Those statements were audited by other auditors - Marks Paneth LLP- whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for A2IA Corp., is based solely on this report.

In our opinion, the reconciliation tables from French GAAP to US GAAP present fairly in all material respects, the significant adjustments between the two accounting standards for A2IA Group II SAS consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Page 13




2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND VALUATION METHODS

2.1    INTRODUCTION

A2IA Group II (the “Parent Company” and together with the subsidiaries included in the scope of consolidation detailed in Note 1.4, the “Group”) prepares consolidated financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in France (“French GAAP”) for the purposes of calculating covenants (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”). In addition, in conjunction with the Acquisition, the Consolidated Financial Statements also includes in Note 3.26 a net income and equity reconciliation between French GAAP and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.


2.2    CONSOLIDATION RULES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with French GAAP and the provisions of Comité de la Réglementation Comptable or CRC Regulation no. 99-02 issued by the French Accounting Regulation Committee (Autorité des Normes Comptables or “ANC”) on April 29, 1999 (Order of June 22, 1999).

Restatements and eliminations required by consolidation rules are not performed where their impact on the consolidated financial position, assets and net income is not material.

2.2.1    Consolidation methods

A2IA GROUP II directly or indirectly exercises exclusive control over all its subsidiaries through direct or indirect holding of voting rights. These companies are therefore fully consolidated.

2.2.2    Consolidation criteria

In principle, a company enters the consolidation scope when the group acquires controls of this company, irrespective of the legal terms and conditions under which control is achieved.

2.2.3    Year end

The consolidating company draws up its annual accounts to December 31, as do all other companies included in the scope of consolidation.

2.2.4    Internal transactions

Reciprocal transactions between consolidated group companies are eliminated.

Where appropriate, internal gains or losses on asset transfers between group companies are also eliminated.

2.3    ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND VALUATION METHODS

2.3.1    Change in accounting method

There were no changes in method during the period.

2.3.2    Goodwill

Where control is obtained through acquisition, the difference between the acquisition cost of securities and the share in net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, valued at fair value at the acquisition date, is recorded in “Goodwill” in balance sheet assets.

ANC Regulation no. 2015-07 of November 23, 2015 prospectively amended goodwill amortization and impairment rules for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016.


Page 14




The regulation classifies goodwill in two categories:

Goodwill with a limited useful life, amortized over the period of use;

Goodwill with an unlimited useful life, not amortized and assessed for impairment annually. A provision for impairment is recorded, where appropriate, if a loss in value is identified.

The regulation offers companies the option of continuing to account for existing goodwill balances as of January 1, 2016 in accordance with the initial amortization schedule or performing a new assessment of the limited nature of their useful life and potentially amending their amortization going forward.

A2IA GROUP II elected to continue the initial amortization schedules and not to perform a new assessment of the useful life of goodwill balances.

Goodwill is amortized, case-by-case, on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 20 years.

Impairment tests are performed annually to validate the consistency of the net carrying amount of goodwill and an additional impairment is recorded where appropriate.

2.3.3    Intangible assets

Concessions, patents, licenses and trademarks

“Concessions, patents, licenses and trademarks” mainly consist of purchased software, amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of use.

Research and development expenditure

The company does not capitalize research and development expenditure in accordance with the alternative method.

2.3.4    Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded in the balance sheet at acquisition cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.

Long-term lease agreements are not restated as they do not meet capitalization criteria.

2.3.5    Financial assets

Financial assets consist of deposits and guarantees recorded at historical cost.

2.3.6    Receivables and payables

Receivables and payables are recorded at nominal value.

A provision for impairment is recorded in respect of receivables where their estimated recoverable amount is less than their net carrying amount.

2.3.7    Provisions for contingencies and losses

Provisions for contingencies and losses are recorded to cover risks that are precise in nature, considered probable as a result of past events and can be reliably estimated.

2.3.8    Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of software is recognized in the income statement on the transfer of ownership.

2.3.9    Borrowing costs



Page 15



The Group applies the preferred method set out in CRC Regulation no. 99-02 regarding the deferral of loan issue costs over the loan term.

2.3.10    Treasury shares

The Parent Company holds a portfolio of its own shares recorded in financial assets. These shares are eliminated in financial assets through a reduction in equity attributable to owners of the Company.

2.3.11    Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet in respect of tax losses carried forward, timing differences between taxable net income and accounting net income, consolidation restatements and the elimination of the impact of transactions recorded solely to apply tax legislation.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method and the impact of any changes in tax rates on deferred tax balances recorded previously is recognized in net income in the year in which these changes enter into effect.

A deferred tax asset is only recognized in respect of tax losses carried forward if their utilization is considered highly probable.

2.3.12    Tax consolidation

The subsidiary, A2IA GROUP II, is the head of the tax group formed with its own subsidiary, A2IA.

The income tax expense is recognized for each tax group member as in the absence of tax consolidation. The tax saving is recognized in the A2IA GROUP II accounts.

2.3.13    Retirement benefit commitments

The group adopts the preferred method set out in CRC Regulation no.99-02 on the recognition of retirement benefit commitments, for French companies.

Commitments are assessed for all individuals holding a permanent employment contract and employed at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

They are measured using the projected unit credit method, assuming departure at the employee’s initiative and are recorded in provisions for losses.

The following assumptions are adopted:

Application of the SYNTEC Bureaux d’études collective bargaining agreement and the following assumptions:

Assumption
Management
Retirement age
67 years old
Discount rate
1.45%
Social security contribution rate
46.50%
Turnover
Low
Mortality table
INSEE 2014
 
 

No such commitments exist for foreign subsidiaries.

2.3.14    Exceptional items

Exceptional items are income and expense items relating to events or transactions clearly separate from the company’s activities and that are not intended to occur frequently or regularly.



Page 16



2.3.15    CICE employment tax credit

The Crédit d’Impôt Compétitivité Emploi or CICE employment tax credit is recognized as a reduction in social security contributions in “Employee costs.”

It is used to improve research and development, notably by investing in computer hardware and employee training.

A2IA GROUP goodwill:

The A2IA GROUP initial difference on consolidation of €3,925,411 (gross) was calculated based on A2IA GROUP’s consolidated net assets at the date of acquisition of the securities, i.e. November 14, 2014.

On June 15, 2015, the entire assets of A2IA GROUP were transferred to A2IA GROUP II.

In the absence of identifiable valuation differences, the initial difference on consolidation was allocated in full to goodwill and is amortized over 10 years.

A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT goodwill:

On May 13, 2008, A2IA GROUP acquired 99.08% of the shares of A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT, the A2IA and A2IA CORP holding company. It then bought-out the remaining minority interests in 2010 and 2012.

On December 6, 2012, the entire assets of A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT were transferred to A2IA GROUP.



Page 18



The A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT initial difference on consolidation of €9,692,158 (gross) was calculated based on A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT’s consolidated net assets at the date of acquisition of the securities, i.e. May 13, 2008.

In the absence of identifiable valuation differences, the initial difference on consolidation was allocated in full to goodwill and is amortized over 20 years.

The buyout of minority interests in 2010 and 2012 generated additional goodwill of €72,201, increasing gross goodwill to €9,764,359. This additional goodwill is amortized over the residual amortization period of the initial goodwill.

A2IA goodwill:

On January 25, 2006, A2IA DEVELOPPEMENT acquired A2IA.

The A2IA initial difference on consolidation of €4,456,304 (gross) was calculated based on A2IA’s consolidated net assets as of December 31, 2005.

In the absence of identifiable valuation differences, the initial difference on consolidation was allocated in full to goodwill and is amortized over 20 years.

Impairment tests:

Impairment tests at the year-end did not call into question the net carrying amount of goodwill. No additional impairment was therefore recorded.

Bond issues:

A2IA GROUP II performed a €550,000 convertible bond issue on November 14, 2014.

The terms and conditions of this issue are as follows:

-    nominal value of €1;
-    interest calculated at a rate of 3% and payable annually on November 30;
-    redemption at par on November 30, 2022.

The bond issue is convertible at a rate of one share for one bond and is accompanied by a non-conversion premium bringing the gross actuarial rate of return on non-converted bonds to 12% per annum.

Early redemption at the request of bond holders is possible on the occurrence of certain events and notably if the senior debt becomes payable in full (see below).

Bank borrowings:

On November 14, 2014, A2IA GROUP II secured a €5,500,000 loan with a banking pool comprising CIC EST and SOCIETE GENERALE (50% each), to finance the acquisition of A2IA GROUP shares.

This loan is repayable in seven annual payments on June 30 of each year commencing June 30, 2015 and terminating June 30, 2021.

Interest is equal to 3 month EURIBOR plus a margin revised annually on June 30 (and for the first time on June 30, 2017) based on the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year. The initial margin applied until the first review is 2.60%.

The loan is accompanied by a commitment to comply with financial ratios. Non-compliance may lead to the loan being called in whole or in part.

3.21    CALCULATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year (attributable to owners of the Company) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, determined on a time apportioned basis.

Diluted net income is calculated by increasing the weighted average number of shares outstanding by the weighted average number of rights to shares attached to convertible bonds issues (see Note 3.7) and restating net income for the post-tax financial expense associated with these borrowings.

3.25    OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

3.25.1    Commitments given

Financing commitments

A2IA GROUP II granted a pledge over its A2IA GROUP shares in favor of CIC EST and SOCIETE GENERALE in guarantee of the €5,500,000 loan granted by these banks to finance the acquisition of the A2IA GROUP shares.

This pledge was transferred to the A2IA shares by a deed dated June 15, 2015 following the comprehensive transfer of the assets of A2IA GROUP to A2IA GROUP II.

This loan was accompanied by a number of reporting commitments, commitments requiring or prohibiting actions and a commitment to comply with financial ratios.

3.25.2    Commitments received

None.


3.26    RECONCILIATION FROM FRENCH GAAP TO US GAAP

The Company’s accounting policies comply with generally accepted accounting principles in France (“French GAAP”) (see note 2.3). Elements of the Company’s accounting policies which differ significantly from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) are described below:


Page 30




3.26.1 Revenue recognition

In the consolidated financial statements prepared under French GAAP, revenue from the maintenance can be recognized at the time of the sale of the software. Under US GAAP, the revenue allocated to the maintenance services should be recognized ratably over the period as the services are performed.

The impact is €210 thousand and €87 thousand on the net income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


3.26.2 Accounting for goodwill

In the consolidated financial statements prepared under French GAAP, goodwill are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally does not exceed 20 years. Under US GAAP, goodwill are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment.

The impact is €1,104 thousand on net income for the periods presented, resulting from the derecognition of the amortization of goodwill in the consolidated income statement under French GAAP.

3.26.3 Deferred taxes

As a result of the French GAAP to US GAAP differences identified above that have affected the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities, the deferred taxes asset and liability balances under US GAAP have been adjusted, resulting in negative impacts of €85 thousand and €29 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Exhibit 99.2

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
A2iA Group II, S.A.S. Acquisition (the “Acquisition”)
On May 23, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Mitek Systems, Inc. (“Mitek” or the “Company”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of A2iA Group II, S.A.S. (“A2iA”), a simplified joint stock company formed under the laws of France, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, each of the holders of outstanding shares of A2iA (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Andera Partners, S.C.A., as representative of the Sellers. Upon completion of the Acquisition, A2iA became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As consideration for the Acquisition, Mitek (i) made a cash payment of $26.8 million, net of cash acquired; (ii) issued 2,514,588 shares, or $21.9 million, of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”); and (iii) incurred liabilities of $0.2 million. The Company used available cash and investments as well as issued Common Stock in order to fund the Acquisition.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 is presented as if the Acquisition occurred on March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2017 and the six months ended March 31, 2018 are presented as if the Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2016, the first day of Mitek’s mos recently completed fiscal year.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared using and should be read in conjunction with: (i) Mitek’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2018; and (ii) Mitek’s historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2017, included in Mitek’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the A2iA tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair market values with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. As of the date of this filing, Mitek has not finalized the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of A2iA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has it identified all adjustments necessary to conform A2iA’s accounting policies to Mitek’s accounting policies. As a result of the foregoing, the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial statements (the “pro forma adjustments”) are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial statements presented below. Management estimated the fair value of A2iA’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with A2iA’s management and due diligence and publicly available transaction data for the industry. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial statements. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of Mitek and A2iA following the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position of Mitek that would have been recorded had the acquisition of A2iA been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of future results of operations or financial position of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements also do not reflect the impacts of any potential operational efficiencies, cost savings or economies of scale that the Company may achieve with respect to the combined operations of Mitek and A2iA and do not include all costs that are expected to be directly attributed to the Acquisition, such as, but not limited to, costs necessary to integrate the operations of A2iA with Mitek. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not include any non-recurring charges or credits directly attributable to the Acquisition.

MITEK SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of the Company and A2iA after giving effect to the Acquisition. The Acquisition is accounted for as a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, generally at the acquisition date fair value as defined by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred, which is also measured at fair value, and the net of the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 is presented as if the Acquisition occurred on March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2017 and the six months ended March 31, 2018 are presented as if the Acquisition occurred on October 1, 2016, the first day of Mitek’s most recently completed fiscal year.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of Mitek and A2iA following the Acquisition.
The pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this filing and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed. The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect the impact of possible revenue or earnings enhancements, cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies, or asset dispositions. Also, the unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect transaction or other costs following the Acquisition that are not expected to have a continuing impact. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations exclude any non-recurring charges or credits directly attributable to the Acquisition.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as follows:
Total purchase price of $48.8 million;
The following consideration was paid for the Acquisition:
$26.8 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired,
$21.9 million, or 2,514,588 shares, of Common Stock, and
$0.2 million of liabilities incurred
Significant assumptions and estimates were made in determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period as the Company finalizes the fair valuations of the net tangible assets, intangible assets, tax-related assets and liabilities, and the resultant goodwill. In particular, the final valuations of identifiable intangible and net tangible assets may change significantly from the Company's preliminary estimates. These changes could result in material variances between its future financial results and the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses and cash flows associated with them.
The Company continues to review, in detail, A2iA accounting policies. As a result of the review, it may identify differences in accounting policies between the two companies, that when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial results of the combined company. Based on information available at the time of the filing of this current report on Form 8-K/A, the Company is not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the financial results of the combined company other than those reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements described in Note 3.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and accompanying notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

2. PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
Purchase Price
As consideration for the Acquisition, Mitek (i) made a cash payment of $26.8 million, net of cash acquired; (ii) issued 2,514,588 shares, or $21.9 million, of the Company’s Common Stock; and (iii) incurred liabilities of $0.2 million. The Company used available cash and investments as well as issued Common Stock in order to fund the Acquisition.
Purchase Price Allocation
For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, the purchase price of A2iA has been allocated to A2iA tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. For certain assets and liabilities, the book values as of the balance sheet date have been determined to reflect fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation undertaken by the Company and the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period as the Company finalizes the fair valuations of the net tangible assets, intangible assets, tax-related assets and liabilities, deferred revenue, and the resultant goodwill. In particular, the valuations of identifiable intangible and net tangible assets may change significantly from preliminary estimates. These changes, including those resulting from conforming A2iA’s accounting policies to those of Mitek, could differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented herein and could result in material variances between the Company's future financial results and the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses and cash flows associated with them. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the Acquisition date and during the measurement period.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Acquisition (amounts shown in thousands):

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Combined Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects the following adjustments:
A.
To record the payment of Acquisition consideration as disclosed in Note 2.
B.
To record the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed in Note 2.
C.
In connection with the Acquisition, A2iA repaid existing debt; reflects the repayment of outstanding debt with existing cash held by A2iA.
D.
To record the sale of investments to fund the Acquisition.
Combined Statements of Operations
The unaudited proforma combined statements of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2018 reflect the following adjustments:
i.
To record the effect of the preliminary fair value adjustment to deferred revenues acquired. The fair value represents an amount equivalent to the estimated cost to perform the services related to open contracts based on deferred revenue balances of A2iA as of October 1, 2016. The calculation of fair value is preliminary and subject

6



to change. After the Acquisition, this adjustment will have a continuing impact and will reduce revenue related to the assumed performance obligations as the software maintenance services are provided over the next 18 months.
ii.
Reflects the adjustment of historical intangible assets acquired by the Company to their estimated fair values. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, the Company identified intangible assets, including completed technologies, customer relationships, and trade names. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows. Since all information required to perform a detailed valuation analysis of A2iA intangible assets could not be obtained as of the date of this filing, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, the Company used certain assumptions based on publicly available transaction data for the industry.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Acquisition (amounts shown in thousands):
