10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Route Monkey Holdings Limited
On 30 December 2015 the Company acquired the entire share capital of Route
Monkey Holdings Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiary, Route Monkey Ltd "Route
Monkey" for a total consideration of £5,036,584.
Route Monkey provides technology solutions that optimise fleet routing. The
company was acquired to bring new and complimentary route planning and
optimisation technology capability to the Group. The assets and liabilities as
at 30 December 2015 arising from the acquisition were as follows:
UnauditedFair value
£
Intangible assets 979,891
Property and equipment 24,995
Trade receivables 1,380,632
Trade and other payables (975,479)
Deferred tax (181,000)
Borrowings (1,784,357)
Net liabilities acquired (555,318)
Goodwill 5,591,902
Total consideration 5,036,584
Satisfied by:
Cash 4,422,395
Fair value of shares in the Company 614,189
5,036,584
The acquisition was settled in cash of £4,422,395 and by issuing 184,441
shares in Trakm8 holdings PLC. The fair value of the equity shares issued was
based on the market value of Trakm8 holdings PLC's traded shares with a fair
value of £614,189 on the acquisition date. Merger relief has been applied,
leading to the addition of £612,344 to the merger reserve rather than share
premium.
The revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
since 30 December 2015 contributed by Route Monkey was £855,823. Route Monkey
also contributed operating profit of £585,404 over the same period. The
Directors have concluded that it is impractical to provide disclosure of the
revenues and profit that Route Monkey would have contributed to the Group had
it been consolidated from 1 April 2015. This is due to a combination of the
fact that Route Monkey previously had a different year end and audited
accounts are not available for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 December 2015,
and significant adjustments have been required to Route Monkey's accounting
policies in respect of revenue recognition to align with the requirements of
IFRS and Trakm8's accounting policies and it is impractical to recalculate
revenues for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 December 2015.
Acquisition related costs amounting to £404,743 have been recognised as an
exceptional administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
Under the purchase agreement to acquire Route Monkey, contingent consideration
of up to £2,000,000 is payable subject to the business achieving certain
performance targets during the year to 31 December 2016. No provision in
relation to this consideration has been recognised in these consolidated
financial statements, as the Directors consider the likelihood of any
contingent amounts being payable under the agreement to be highly unlikely.
The goodwill arising on the acquisition represents the significant value of
the software analytics acquired will bring when integrated principally into
Trakm8's existing telematics offering, as well as further synergies.
DCS Systems Limited
On 16 June 2015 Trakm8 Limited acquired the business and assets of DCS Systems
Limited "DCS" for a consideration of £3,275,136. DCS specialises in the design
and distribution of camera systems for the motor vehicle, bicycle and security
markets.
The fair values of the identifiable assets of the business as at the date of
acquisition were:
UnauditedFair value
£
Intangible assets 320,000
Property and equipment 4,000
Inventories 726,454

The revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
since 15 6 2015 contributed by DCS was £1,851,789. DCS also contributed
operating profit of £312,015 over the same period.
Had DCS been consolidated from 1 April 2015, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income would show revenue of £2,330,700 and operating profit of
£392,709 in relation to this entity.
Acquisition related costs amounting to £174,200 have recognised as an
exceptional administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
The goodwill arising on the acquisition represents the value of the camera
technology acquired. The value of which is considerably enhanced when
combined with Trakm8's existing product range and further synergies.
