Filed on July 14, 2014
File No. 333-192989
Dear Mr. Haq:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments.
Important Introductory Information, page 1
1. The aggregate purchase price for the businesses of the target sellers has been reduced
from approximately $33 million to $19 million, while the cash portion of consideration
has been reduced from approximately $17 million to $11 million. Please expand your
disclosures here, in MD&A and Business to explain:
The circumstances that led to the amendme nts to the purchase agreements;
When the corresponding negotiations commenced;
How the company was able to extract significantly more advantageous financial
terms than the initial terms; and
Whether the sellers’ willingness to accept significant reductions in cash
consideration provides any insights into the businesses or operations of the target
companies.
2. You state that the cash consideration portion of the tar get company acquisitions is no
longer a multiple of revenue. Please disclose the basis utilized in stead of revenues to
value the t argets . Also, revise your disclosures on page 52 accordingly.

context .
Risks Relating to Our Acquisition Strategy, page 6
4. The target sellers have entered into asset purchase agreements that significantly reduce
the cash component of the asset purchase agreements. Ple ase tell us whether the sellers’
willingness to accept significantly lower consideration as a result of the reduction in the
size of your public offering provides insight into the effectiveness of your acquisition
strategies, target valuations, and negotiation tactics. Ensure that such revisions are made
where you discuss prior acquisition -related challenges.

5. We note your disclosure that the consideration for your planned acquisitions was
contractually adjusted based on th e estimated net proceeds of this offering. We further
note that the estimated acquisition date fair values of the to -be-acquired assets and
liabilities have been revised from the estimated amounts previously disclosed in your
amendment filed on July 8, 20 14. The revised estimated fair value of the intangible
assets is $19.1 million as compared to the previous estimate of $24.9 million. Clarify
why the fair value of the intangible assets has changed, and how a decrease in the
estimated net proceeds of thi s offering has resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the
intangible assets. As part of your response, describe the methodology that you used to
determine the fair value of these assets, and the specific inputs and assumptions that have
changed. Also, clarify whether there have been any changes in revenues, operating
results, and customer retention of the targets since March 31 2014. Tell us what
consideration you gave to disclosing these factors.
6. We note your disclosure on page 1 that if the unde rwriters’ option to purchase additional
shares is exercised in full, the aggregate cash consideration paid to the target s ellers will
increase to approximately $14.1 million. Clarify whether you consider this payment to
represent contingent consideration, and how you have accounted for such payment.
Clarify the authoritative accounting literature upon which you relied.
