It turns out that Yahoo acquired an unnamed company for $23 million during the first three months of 2015, according to its 10Q filing with the SEC on Thursday.

The filing provided few details about the transaction other than to say that the purchase price was based on estimated fair values for the following: $5 million to amortizable intangibles; $2 million to net liabilities assumed; and the remainder of $20 million to goodwill.
