Yoga Studio

In September 2014, our Gaiam Brand segment acquired all the outstanding stock of Modern Lotus Limited (“Yoga Studio”), the number-one-ranked paid yoga app on the U.S. App Store. The aggregate consideration paid by us exceeded the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $1.5 million which we have recognized as goodwill. We attribute the goodwill to the recognized market position of the app.

My Yoga Online

In October 2013, our Gaiam TV segment acquired all of the outstanding common stock of My Yoga Online, ULC (“My Yoga Online”), an on-line yoga video streaming subscription business in Canada. The aggregate consideration paid by us exceeded the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by $10.6 million, which we have recognized as goodwill. This goodwill is attributable to the domain expertise of the assembled workforce that has demonstrated an ability to generate new content, subscriber growth and revenues from future subscribers.

The following table sets forth the changes in goodwill for the period December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014 by segment.
