Acquisition of MC Assembly
   
  On
November 8, 2018 (
the “Acquisition Date”), SMTC entered a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MC Assembly Holdings, Inc. (“MC Assembly” or “MC”). The MC acquisition includes an initial purchase price of
$63,498
plus contingent consideration payable of up to
$5,000
by the Company upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. The Purchase Agreement and the MC acquisition were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and closed on
November 8, 2018.
 
The table below represents the fair value of the total purchase price consideration:
 
 
Purchase price – cash

63,498
 
Contingent consideration payable
   
3,050
 
Working capital adjustment - cash

Total purchase consideration
  $
67,600
 
 
  The contingent consideration is based upon the achievement of certain performance milestones determined after the completion of the Company’s
first
fiscal quarter of
2019.
The contingent consideration is estimated based on forecasted results, and
may
change upon the resolution of the contingency at the end of the Company’s
first
quarter of
2019.
The key assumptions in valuing the contingent consideration include: estimated projected adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation and taxes for MC Assembly on a trailing
twelve
months ended
March 31, 2019
and a discount rate of
13.5%.
As at
December 30, 2018,
there was
no
change in the fair value of the contingent consideration, based on the forecasted results for the
first
quarter of
2019.
The contingent consideration fair value is sensitive to adjustments in results as it is based on a formula which includes a multiple of earnings. The initial working capital adjustment of
$1,052
was cash settled on the Acquisition Date.
 
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date:

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of MC Assembly.
None
of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Changes to SMTC and MC Assembly combined deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the purchase price allocation is fully offset by a corresponding net reduction to its valuation allowance.
 
The Company recognized
$1,676
 of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the period and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company also incurred
