Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is intended to reflect the impact of the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia completed by the Company on October 31, 2018 on its consolidated balance sheet as if the transactions had occurred as of September 30, 2018 and the impact of the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia completed by the Company on October 31, 2018, on its consolidated financial statements of operations as if such transactions occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented includes the pro forma combined results of operations of the Company based on the historical financial statements and accounting records of Vonage and NewVoiceMedia and the pro forma adjustments thereto discussed below. Due to the timing of the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia, the Company has performed a preliminary estimate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of NewVoiceMedia. The final purchase price allocation will be completed after a thorough analysis performed by the Company to determine the fair value of NewVoiceMedia's tangible assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets. As a result, the final acquisition accounting adjustments, including those resulting from conforming NewVoiceMedia's accounting policies to those of Vonage and those resulting from the reconciliation of NewVoiceMedia's financial statements from FRS 102 to U.S. GAAP could differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.
Pro forma adjustments are included only to the extent they are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Company. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only.
The acquisitions will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Vonage considered the accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect the preliminary assessment of fair values and useful lives assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of NewVoiceMedia as discussed above. Significant assets and liabilities that are subject to preparation and completion of valuation studies to determine appropriate fair value adjustments primarily include those assets relating to identifiable intangible assets. Changes to the fair values of these assets and liabilities will also result in changes to goodwill.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 combines the Company's historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 giving effect to the NewVoiceMedia acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2018. The Company’s condensed combined balance sheet information as of September 30, 2018 was derived from its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarterly period ended September 30, 2018. NewVoiceMedia's unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet information was derived from its unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2018 prepared on the basis of FRS 102.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 give effect to the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017, the first day of the earliest period presented. The Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was derived from its condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the year ended December 31, 2017 was derived from its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. NewVoiceMedia's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations information was derived from its unaudited consolidated statement of income for the six months ended July 31, 2018 and a schedule of information for the three months ended January 31, 2018 prepared on the basis of FRS 102 and its audited consolidated statement of income information was derived from its audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 prepared on the basis of FRS 102 and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments to conform accounting policies to those adopted by Vonage, as no such adjustments have been identified that would have a material effect on the unaudited pro forma financial information, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 for which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018 and is reflected only in the unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Further review may identify additional reclassifications, intercompany transactions or differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the combined companies. At this time, the Company is not aware of any reclassifications, intercompany transactions or accounting policy differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma financial information that are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.
The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include the effect of any adjustment for liabilities or related costs that may result from integration activities, since management has not completed the process of making these assessments. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any material nonrecurring charges that might arise as a result of the acquisitions.
Note 2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation for NewVoiceMedia
On October 31, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NewVoiceMedia. The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the acquisition date fair value of NewVoiceMedia. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair value of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:
Assets | |||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 7,957 | |
Current assets | 21,405 | ||
Property, plant and equipment | 3,686 | ||
Goodwill | 202,974 | ||

Note 3. Adjustments to NewVoiceMedia Combined Historical Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations
The combined historical balance sheet as of July 31, 2018, NewVoiceMedia's most recent pre-acquisition balance sheet date, and the combined historical statements of income of NewVoiceMedia for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 are presented in conformity with U.K. GAAP in a functional currency of British pound sterling. The Company converted NewVoiceMedia's balance sheet using a historical rate of $1.31 per pound as July 31, 2018 and the statement of operations to U.S. dollars using an average rate of $1.37 per pound for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 and an average rate of $1.28 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Company made the following adjustments to the combined historical balance sheet and statements of operations of NewVoiceMedia in order to conform the presentation of the statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
(a) Represents the adjustments necessary to conform the presentation of NewVoiceMedia assets, liabilities and operating expenses in a manner that is consistent with the presentation of Vonage.
(b) The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018. In connection with the adoption, the Company established an asset associated with the deferred customer acquisition costs related to commission programs through which eligible employees and third parties earn commission on sales of products and services to customers. Similarly, NewVoiceMedia employs various commission programs. The adjustments reflect the estimated impact of the capitalization of deferred customer acquisition costs upon adoption by NewVoiceMedia on February 1, 2018 and amortization of that asset through July 31, 2018. As the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 606 utilizing the modified retrospective method and as such no adjustments were made to periods prior to adoption.
(c) Historically, NewVoiceMedia would defer revenues related to its professional services and recognized the revenues over the duration of the customers contract, typically one year. NewVoiceMedia's professional services primarily comprised revenues associated with consultation and installation services provided to customers upon the onset of their service arrangement. The adjustment reflects the estimated impact of reducing deferred revenues as of July 31, 2018 on NewVoiceMedia's balance sheet and recognizing professional service revenues at the time of delivery instead of over the duration of the contract period within NewVoiceMedia's statements of income.
Note 4. Adjustments to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The following represent the pro forma adjustments included in the condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 and the statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017:
(d) Represents cash on hand utilized by the Company to fund the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia on October 31, 2018.
(e) Represents the preliminary estimate of goodwill arising from the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia.
(f) Represents the adjustment to record the fair value of acquired intangible assets associated with the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia which consist primarily of customer relationships and developed technology. For each $50 million change in the fair value of adjustment to intangible assets, combined depreciation and amortization expense would be expected to change by approximately $6 million. The estimated lives of the acquired intangible assets ranges between 3 and 15 years.
(g) Primarily represents the adjustment to accrued expenses for liabilities assumed by Vonage as part of the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia related to transaction fees and expenses directly incurred by NewVoiceMedia.
(h) Represents the estimated adjustment to decrease the assumed deferred revenue obligations to fair value based upon the estimated costs to fulfill the remaining performance obligations plus a normal profit margin. This adjustment will have a continuing impact and will reduce revenue related to the assumed performance obligations as these obligations are satisfied.
(i) Reflects the borrowings made under the Company's 2018 Credit Facility to fund the acquisition.
(j) Reflects the elimination of NewVoiceMedia's historical common stock, additional paid-in-capital, accumulated deficit, treasury stock and accumulated other comprehensive income.
(k) Represents the estimated increase in net depreciation and amortization expense related to the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets of NewVoiceMedia that have been acquired and is primarily comprised of customer relationships and developed technology.
(l) Reflects the estimated increase to interest expense in connection with borrowings necessary under the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility to fund the purchase price of the acquisition of NewVoiceMedia. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an effective interest rate under the 2018 Credit Facility of 4.50%.
(m) Represents the adjustment to record the tax impact of adjustments to reflect NewVoiceMedia' financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the pro forma adjustments related to depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense calculated utilizing the Company's estimated combined statutory federal and state tax rate of 28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 40% for the year ended December 31, 2017.
