Assessments Australia
On December 15, 2015, MAXIMUS acquired 100% of the share capital of three companies doing business as "Assessments Australia" for estimated consideration of $2.7 million. We acquired Assessments Australia to expand our service offerings within Australia. The consideration is comprised of $2.6 million in cash and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $0.1 million. The contingent consideration relates to a payment of $0.6 million to the sellers of Assessments Australia if a particular contract is tendered and won by MAXIMUS prior to December 2017. We have performed a probability weighted assessment of this payment. Future changes in our assessment of this liability will be recorded through the Statement of Operations. This business has been integrated into our Human Services Segment. Management has estimated goodwill and intangible assets acquired as $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, but the allocation of the fair value of the consideration has not been completed at this time and the purchase price is still subject to adjustments related to working capital.
Acentia
On April 1, 2015 (the “acquisition date”), we acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Acentia, LLC (“Acentia”) for cash consideration of $293.5 million.
Acentia provides system modernization, software development, program management and other information technology services and solutions to the U.S. Federal Government. We acquired Acentia, among other reasons, to expand our ability to provide complementary business services and offerings across government markets. The acquired assets and liabilities have been integrated into our U.S. Federal Services Segment.
We have completed the process of allocating the acquisition price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Acentia at the acquisition date, with the exception of balances relating to current and deferred taxes. Our provisional allocation of fair value updated through December 31, 2015 is shown below.

The excess of the acquisition date consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. We consider the goodwill to represent the value of the assembled workforce of Acentia, as well as the enhanced knowledge and capabilities resulting from this business combination. Approximately $175.0 million of the goodwill balance is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes.
The intangible assets acquired represent customer relationships. These will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 14 years.
