ACQUISITIONS
In July 2014, we acquired TaiMei Potato Industry Limited, a potato processor in China, for $92.5 million, consisting of $75.4 million net of cash acquired plus assumed liabilities. The purchase included property and equipment associated with making frozen potato products. Approximately $15.9 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill pending determination of the final purchase price allocation. The amount allocated to goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Based on the purchase agreement, we expect to make adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price paid over the next several quarters. We do not anticipate assigning significant value to other intangible assets. This business is included in the Commercial Foods segment.
In September 2013, we acquired frozen dessert production assets from Harlan Bakeries for $39.9 million in cash. The purchase included machinery, operating systems, warehousing/storage, and other assets associated with making frozen fruit pies, cream pies, pastry shells, and loaf cakes. This business is included in the Consumer Foods segment.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these acquisitions were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
