Business Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the majority of the net assets of the Acme Electric business division of Power Products,LLC and all of the outstanding common stock of Acme Electric de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. and Acme Electric Manufacturing de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (collectively "Acme"). Acme was purchased for $67.6 million, net of cash received, and has been added to the Electrical segment, resulting in the recognition of intangible assets of $30.8 million and goodwill of $21.1 million. The $30.8 million of intangible assets consists primarily of customer relationships and tradenames and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 20 years. The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the majority of net assets of the Turner Electric business division of Power Products, LLC ("Turner") constituting the transmission and substation switching business. Turner was purchased for $37.6 million, net of cash received, and has been added to the Power segment, resulting in the recognition of intangible assets of $22.0 million and goodwill of $11.8 million. The $22.0 million of intangible assets consists primarily of customer relationships and tradenames and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 19 years. All of the goodwill associated with the Turner acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of the Electric Controller and Manufacturing Company, LLC ("EC&M"). EC&M was purchased for $21.6 million, net of cash received, and has been added to the Electrical segment, resulting in the recognition of intangible assets of $8.5 million and goodwill of $7.8 million. The $8.5 million of intangible assets consists primarily of customer relationships and tradenames and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 16 years. All of the goodwill associated with the EC&M acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

All of these business acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill relates to a number of factors built into the purchase price, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the businesses as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies they bring to the Company’s existing operations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition related to these transactions (in millions):

Tangible assets acquired	$	34.4
Intangible assets	61.3
Goodwill	40.7
Other liabilities assumed	(9.6		)
TOTAL CASH CONSIDERATION, NET	$	126.8

Cash used for the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is $127.0 million and includes an approximately $0.2 million payment in 2015 to settle the net working capital adjustment relating to an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of operations of Acme, Turner and EC&M from the date of acquisition. Net sales and earnings related to these acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were not significant to the consolidated results. Pro forma information related to these acquisitions has not been included because the impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations was not material
