Fluid Power Resource Acquisition

On August 29, 2008, Applied acquired Fluid Power Resource, LLC and the following fluid power distribution businesses: Bay Advanced Technologies, Carolina Fluid Components, DTS Fluid Power, Fluid Tech, Hughes HiTech, Hydro Air, and Power Systems (collectively “FPR”). Applied acquired certain assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of FPR for an aggregate cash purchase price of $166,000.

The acquired businesses included 19 locations and the associated assembled workforce. This acquisition is part of the Fluid Power Businesses segment whose base business is distributing fluid power components, assembling fluid power systems, performing equipment repair, and offering technical advice to customers. This acquisition increased the Company’s capabilities in the following areas: fluid power system integration; manifold design, machining, and assembly; and the integration of hydraulics with electronics.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values was assigned to goodwill and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was written off as part of an impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
