We purchased 100% of the equity interest in all the entities we acquired in fiscal year 2017, 2016 and 2015. All the acquisitions were primarily paid in cash and funded by our debt borrowings. The Company accounted for each acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition.

We believe these acquisitions strengthen CooperSurgical's and CooperVision's business through the addition of new or complementary products and services.

The pro forma results of operations of these acquisitions made in fiscal year 2017, 2016 and 2015 have not been presented because the impact of the business combinations described below, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our consolidated results of operations.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and we are in the process of finalizing information related to assets, liabilities and the corresponding effect on goodwill.
