Acquisitions and Divestitures
12. Deconsolidation of subsidiary and divestitures

Deconsolidation of subsidiary - During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company and GE Aviation, a non-related party, finalized a joint venture in which the Company sold a 50 percent equity interest in one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The sale of the 50 percent equity interest in the wholly-owned subsidiary resulted in a loss of control of the subsidiary, and therefore it was deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company will account for its equity interest in the joint venture with GE Aviation using the equity method of accounting.

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $413 million on the deconsolidation, measured as the fair value of the consideration received for the 50 percent equity interest in the former subsidiary and the fair value of the retained investment less the carrying amount of the former subsidiary's net assets. Approximately $186 million of the pre-tax gain is attributable to the remeasurement of the retained investment in the former subsidiary to its current fair value. The gain is reflected in the other (income), net caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

The fair value of the retained investment in the joint venture with GE Aviation was determined using both a market and income approach. Cash consideration paid was the primary input used for the market approach. The fair value calculated using an income approach required several assumptions including future projected cash flows discounted using a rate approximating the cost of capital of the joint venture and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Divestitures - During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company divested the automotive businesses of the Mobile Climate Systems division and its Turkey refrigeration components business. Under the segment structure effective July 1, 2013, both of these businesses would have been part of the Diversified Industrial Segment. The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 of $17 million related to the divestitures. The gain is reflected in the other (income), net caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.
