2. Acquisitions

The following table details the acquisitions made during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

2012 Acquisitions
Date	Type	Company / Product Line Acquired	Location (Near)	Segment
1-Jan	Asset	Quattroflow Fluid Systems	Kamp-Lintfort, Germany	Engineered Systems
Manufacturer of positive displacement pumps primarily serving the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
14-Mar	Stock	Maag Pump Systems	Grossostheim, Germany	Engineered Systems
Manufacturer of gear pump technology, pelletizing systems and engineered integrated solutions for the polymer, plastic, chemical and petrochemical industries.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company acquired two businesses in separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of$279,887, net of cash acquired.  The Maag acquisition remains subject to normal post-closing adjustments. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company recorded approximately $104,762 of customer-related intangible assets (weighted average lives of 10 years), $11,102 of trademarks (weighted average lives of 12 years), and $11,022 of other intangibles (weighted average lives of 7 years).  These acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill totaling $164,650, of which $6,399 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition of Maag Pump Systems, the Company also provided $16,627 of restricted-use cash collateral to secure Maag's outstanding bank guarantees at the date of acquisition. This amount is included in other assets and deferred charges within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2012 and reported within cash paid for acquisitions in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

These businesses each manufacture products in the fluid solutions market, a key growth area for the Company, and were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the fluid solutions platform of the Engineered Systems segment. The goodwill identified by these acquisitions reflects the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies.  Upon consummation of the acquisitions, each of these entities is now wholly-owned by Dover.

The following presents the allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values:

Current assets, net of cash acquired	$	64,015
Property, plant and equipment		41,838
Goodwill		164,650
Intangible assets		126,886
Total liabilities		(117,502	)
Net assets acquired	$	279,887

The Company is in the process of finalizing appraisals of tangible and intangible assets and continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations for these first quarter acquisitions.  Accordingly, management has used its best estimates in the preliminary purchase price allocations as of the date of these financial statements.   As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; however, any such revisions are not expected to be significant.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the results of these businesses from the dates of acquisition.  The aggregate revenue of the 2012 acquisitions included in the Company’s consolidated revenue totaled $11,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on the Company’s revenue and net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, assuming that the 2012 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 2011. As a result, the supplemental pro forma net earnings reflect adjustments to the net earnings as reported in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to exclude $876 of acquisition-related costs (after-tax) and $817 of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory (after-tax).  The supplemental pro forma earnings for the comparable 2011 periods were adjusted to include these charges. The 2012 and 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of tax) resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets relating to 2012 and 2011 acquisitions.
