2. Business Acquisitions

The Company operates in a highly fragmented industry. A key component of the Company’s strategy is growth through acquisition that expands its geographic coverage, provides complementary lines of business and increases its market share.

The Company has accounted for all business combinations using the purchase method, in accordance with ASC 805, to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company recorded, based on preliminary purchase price allocations, intangible assets representing client relationships, tradenames, and excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as “Goodwill” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The goodwill is attributable to synergies achieved through the streamlining of operations combined with improved margins attainable through increased market presence. The results of operations of these acquisitions are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.

(a)          2017 Acquisitions

In the three months ended July 31, 2016, the Company completed the following acquisitions, with an aggregate purchase price of $25,989, subject to finalization of working capital settlement amounts.

Company name	Form of acquisition	Date of acquisition
Wall & Ceiling Supply Co., Inc.	Purchase of net assets	May 2, 2016
Rockwise, LLC	Purchase of net assets	July 5, 2016

The preliminary allocation of purchase consideration for these acquisitions is summarized as follows:

Goodwill of $7,590 and other intangible assets of $11,200 are expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company believes that the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are preliminary. Such changes are not expected to be significant. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the applicable acquisition date. The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not presented as it is not considered material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
