ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES
 
Acquisitions
 
On September 1, 2011, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of YSI Incorporated (YSI) for a purchase price of $309, net of cash acquired. YSI, which reported 2010 revenues of $101, is a leading developer and manufacturer of sensors, instruments, software, and data collection platforms for environmental water monitoring. YSI employs 390 people at facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia. Our financial statements include YSI’s results of operations and cash flows prospectively from September 1, 2011; however, these results were not material for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011 and accordingly, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.
 
The purchase price for YSI was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values as of September 1, 2011. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain environmental matters, intangible assets, income taxes, working capital balances and residual goodwill. We expect to obtain information to assist us in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.
 
Of the $309 purchase price, the aggregate fair value of trademarks was $49, customer relationships was $40 and proprietary technology was $35. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition were $56 primarily related to working capital balances and $61 primarily related to deferred tax liabilities, respectively. The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was $190 (which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes). The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the planned expansion of the YSI footprint to new geographic markets, synergies and economies of scale. All of the goodwill has been assigned to the Fluid segment.
 
During the first nine months of 2010, we spent $994 on acquisitions, net of cash acquired, primarily due to the acquisitions of Godwin Pumps of America, Inc. and Godwin Holdings Limited (collectively referred to as Godwin) on August 3, 2010 for $580, which expanded our Fluid segment’s presence within the dewatering market in the United States; and the acquisition of Nova Analytics Corporation (Nova) on March 23, 2010 for $385 which broadened our Fluid segment’s portfolio of analytical instrumentation tools.
 
The results of operations and cash flows from our 2010 acquisitions have been included in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements prospectively from their date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for acquisitions completed in 2010 have not been presented because the assets, liabilities and results of operations for each business are not considered material to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, either individually or in the aggregate.
 
Divestitures
 
On September 8, 2010 we completed the sale of CAS, Inc. (CAS), a component of our Defense segment that was engaged in systems engineering and technical assistance for the U.S. Government. The sale resulted in the recognition of a $130 after-tax gain reported as a component of income from discontinued operations within our Consolidated Condensed Income Statements. This transaction resulted in a tax benefit of $4 primarily due to the difference in the book and tax bases of CAS. Subsequent to this divestiture, we do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of CAS, nor do we expect significant continuing cash flows from CAS. Accordingly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows from CAS are reported as a discontinued operation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, CAS provided third-party revenue of $46 and $160, and operating income of $4 and $13, respectively, included within discontinued operations.
