2011 Acquisitions

Praxis Group

In June 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Elkhart, Indiana-based The Praxis Group (“Praxis”), a manufacturer and distributor of countertops, foam products, shower doors, electronics, and furniture products to the RV industry, for $0.5 million.  This acquisition expanded the Company's product offerings to its existing customer base in the RV industry.  The results of operations for Praxis are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements and the Manufacturing and Distribution operating segments from the date of acquisition.  The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed of $0.7 million exceeded the fair value of the purchase price of the business of $0.5 million.  As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million, net of tax, associated with the acquisition.  The gain is included in the line item “Gain on sale of fixed assets and acquisition of business” in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded on the Company's consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition.    In addition to the intangible assets of $0.4 million acquired and noted in Note 9, the Company acquired typical working capital items of trade receivables and inventories, net of accounts payable assumed, of $0.1 million, and property, plant and equipment of $0.2 million.

A.I.A. Countertops, LLC

Countertops, LLC (“AIA”), a fabricator of solid surface, granite, and laminated countertops, backsplashes, tables, signs, and other products for the RV and commercial markets, for $5.5 million.  This acquisition expanded the Company's product offerings to its existing customer base in the RV industry and industrial market sectors.  The results of operations for AIA are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements and the Manufacturing operating segment from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of leveraging the Company's existing manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the AIA team to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth, and net income.

The acquisition was primarily funded through borrowings under the Company's 2011 Credit Facility (as defined herein) and subordinated financing provided by Northcreek Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Northcreek”) and an affiliate of Northcreek, in the form of secured senior subordinated notes.  In addition, certain former members of AIA's ownership group were issued a note receivable from the Company.   See Note 12 for further details.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded on the Company's consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Based on a post-closing adjustment, the final purchase price was determined during the fourth quarter of 2011, at which time the purchase price allocation and all required purchase accounting adjustments were finalized.  The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:
