ACQUISITIONS
3.           ACQUISITIONS

The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets.  The Corporation has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements.  This goodwill arises because the acquisition purchase price reflects the future earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition.  Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

The Corporation allocates the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In the months after closing, as the Corporation obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and as the Corporation learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.  The Corporation will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation acquired one business for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million, which is described in more detail below. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Corporation acquired one business for an aggregate purchase price of $213 million, which is described in more detail below.

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes $4 million of total net sales and $1 million of net losses from the Corporation's 2019 acquisition. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $22 million of total net sales and $3 million of net losses from the Corporation's 2018 acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for all acquisitions consummated during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
