(2) Acquisitions

On March 1, 2009, the Company acquired International Lift Systems ("ILS"), a Louisiana limited partnership.  As a result of this acquisition, the Company entered into a hold back agreement with the former owners of ILS.  The total hold back is $4.5 million payable in three equal installments of $1.5 million each plus interest.  Interest is calculated annually at 4% of the remaining balance of the hold back portion.  The first installment was paid on March 1, 2010; the second installment, plus interest to date, was paid on March 1, 2011; and the third installment, plus interest to date, is payable on March 1, 2012.  These hold back payments are not contingent upon any subsequent events.  The liability for this hold back payment is included in accrued liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.  Total purchase price for ILS was $50.0 million and the Company recorded goodwill of $28.6 million in the Oilfield segment.  There were no changes to the previously disclosed purchase price allocation.

On November 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Petro Hydraulic Lift Systems, LLC ("PHL") and certain related companies, based in South Louisiana.  PHL specializes in the design, manufacture and leasing of hydraulic rod pumping units for oil and gas wells.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company also entered into a royalty agreement with the former owners of PHL.  The agreement is for a ten year period, beginning November 1, 2010, and is payable at a rate of 5% for the first five years and 8% for the subsequent five years.  Royalties are payable quarterly and are based on product revenues.  The fair value of these royalties, which are based on estimates, are included in the purchase price consideration.  Any changes in this estimate will impact earnings in future periods.  Total purchase price for PHL was $15.9 million and the Company recorded goodwill of $7.8 million in the Oilfield segment.  There were no changes to the previously disclosed purchase price allocation.
 
On September 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Pentagon Optimization Services, Inc. ("Pentagon"), a Canadian corporation based in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada.  Pentagon, a diversified well optimization company serving the oil and gas industry, provides a wide range of products and services, including plunger lift systems and well engineering and testing.  The addition of the proprietary "Angel" pump, which can pump both liquid and gas simultaneously without gas locking, will upgrade the Company's product portfolio and provide a cost effective method to produce pressure-depleted gas wells.  

In connection with the Pentagon acquisition, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with the former owners of Pentagon.  The agreement is for a ten year period, beginning October 1, 2011, and is payable at a rate of 10%.  Royalties are payable quarterly and are based on certain product revenues.  The fair value of these royalties, which are based on estimates, are included in the purchase price consideration.  Any changes in this estimate will impact earnings in future periods.
 
The Pentagon acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the acquired operations have been included in the results of operations since the date of acquisition.  The preliminary purchase price consideration consists of the following (in thousands of dollars):

The pro forma data was prepared based on the historical financial information of Quinn's and Lufkin and has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.  The pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of what Quinn's results of operations actually would have been had the transactions been completed on January 1, 2010.  Additionally, the pro forma data does not project the future results of operations of the combined company nor do they reflect the expected realization of synergies associated with the transactions.  The pro forma data reflects the application of the following adjustments:

·
Additional depreciation and amortization expense associated with fair value adjustments to acquired identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
·
Increase in interest expense resulting from the issuance of debt to finance the purchase price, as well as the amortization of related deferred financing costs.
·
Elimination of transaction costs incurred in 2011 that are directly related to the transactions, and do not have a continuing impact on the combined company's operating results.
