10.   ACQUISITION

 

On February 2, 2016, we acquired Lamrite for $150.0 million, prior to certain purchase price adjustments, utilizing our cash on hand. Lamrite operates an international wholesale business under the Darice brand name and 33 arts and crafts retail stores (32 as of the acquisition date), located primarily in Ohio and the surrounding states, under the Pat Catan’s brand name. We incurred integration related costs of $4.1 million during the quarter ended April 30, 2016. These expenses have been included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition resulted in goodwill primarily related to the expected benefits resulting from enhancements to our private brand development capability, direct sourcing initiatives and business-to-business capabilities, as well as the value of the existing Lamrite workforce. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The fair values of the intangible assets acquired were primarily determined by using the income approach. The income approach indicates value for a subject based on the present value of cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  Projected cash flows are discounted at a market rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money.  The fair value of inventory was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory less the expected costs of selling efforts and a reasonable profit margin.
