Acquisition of DynaTen

        On May 1, 2014, we closed a transaction to acquire DynaTen Corporation ("DynaTen") which reports as a separate operating location in Northern Texas. DynaTen is a regional mechanical contractor based in Fort Worth, Texas which engages in a broad range of mechanical contracting projects, HVAC services and controls, in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and in surrounding areas. The total purchase price, which was finalized in the first quarter of 2015 was $40.5 million, of which $19.8 million was allocated to goodwill.

Other Acquisitions

        We completed one acquisition in the third quarter of 2015 and two acquisitions in the first quarter of 2015. In addition to the DynaTen acquisition noted above, additional acquisitions were completed in the first and second quarter of 2014. These acquisitions were not material and were "tucked-in" with existing operations. The total purchase price for the "tucked-in" acquisitions, including earn-outs, was $7.1 million and $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our consolidated balance sheet includes preliminary allocations of the purchase price, related to the three acquisitions completed in the fiscal year 2015, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value, pending completion of final valuation and purchase price adjustments. The results of operations of acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Additional contingent purchase price ("earn-out") has been or will be paid if certain acquisitions achieve predetermined profitability targets.
