3.	Acquisitions

Acquisition of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited

On December 29, 2011, we completed the purchase of 534.8 million shares of International Mining Machinery Holdings Limited (“IMM”). The shares, which represented approximately 41.1% of IMM’s outstanding common stock, were purchased pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated July 11, 2011, as amended and restated on July 14, 2011. The shares were purchased for HKD8.50 per share, or approximately $584.6 million. As a result of this purchase and prior open market purchases, we acquired a controlling interest on such date of approximately 69.2% of IMM’s outstanding common stock and were required by Rule 26.1 of the Hong Kong Takeovers Code to commence a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of IMM common stock and options to purchase IMM common stock that we did not already own. The tender offer commenced on January 6, 2012 and we completed the tender offer on February 10, 2012. As a result of the tender offer, we beneficially owned approximately 98.9% of IMM’s outstanding common stock. On July 25, 2012, we effected the compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares under applicable provisions of the Cayman Island Companies Law, under which IMM is incorporated. We paid consideration of approximately $16.2 million to complete the compulsory acquisition. The combined effect of these transactions resulted in our beneficial ownership of 100% of the common stock of IMM.

Prior to obtaining control on December 29, 2011, our investment in IMM had been accounted for under the equity method. Upon obtaining control, we applied the acquisition method of accounting, re-measured the preexisting interest at fair value and recorded a gain of $19.4 million. The gain is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income under “other income” for the period ended October 26, 2012. The results of operations for IMM have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements from December 29, 2011 forward as part of the Underground Mining Machinery segment. Prior to obtaining control, our share of income from IMM was reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income under “other income” and included in Corporate.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values of the assets and liabilities included in the table below are preliminary and subject to change as we are currently in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and assessing certain reserves and contingent liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is reflected as goodwill. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:


(in thousands)

Assets Acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	72,912
Accounts receivable		202,825
Inventories		91,176
Other current assets		15,622
Property, plant and equipment		125,600
Other intangible assets and goodwill		1,149,787
Other non-current assets		40,327

Total assets acquired		1,698,249
Liabilities Assumed:
Short-term notes payable		(14,666	)
Accounts payable		(87,305	)
Employee compensation and benefits		(6,458	)
Advance payments and progress billings		(6,122	)
Other accrued liabilities		(54,545	)
Other non-current liabilities		(105,715	)

Total liabilities assumed		(274,811	)

	$	1,423,438

The fair value for identified intangible assets was primarily determined based upon discounted expected cash flows. Of the $1.1 billion of intangible assets and goodwill, $76.2 million has been preliminarily assigned to indefinite-lived intangible assets and $165.0 million has been preliminarily assigned to intangible assets which are being amortized over a weighted average life of 13.5 years. The determination of the useful life was based upon historical experience, economic factors, and future cash flows of the assets acquired.

Approximately $20.9 million of the inventory fair value adjustment associated with the acquisition was expensed in 2012 through cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations as the corresponding inventory was sold.

The results of IMM have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. We have incurred acquisition costs of $24.3 million related to IMM, of which $8.6 million was recognized in the prior fiscal year.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ended October 26, 2012 and October 28, 2011 reflect the results of continuing operations of the Company as if the acquisition of IMM had been completed on October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, respectively. Pro forma adjustments have been made for changes in depreciation and amortization expenses related to the valuation of the acquired tangible and intangible assets at fair value, the elimination of non-recurring items and the addition of incremental costs related to debt used to finance the acquisition.

Acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc.

We completed the acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. (“LeTourneau”) on June 22, 2011. LeTourneau historically operated in three businesses, mining equipment, steel products and drilling products. Subsequent to the acquisition, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the drilling products business of LeTourneau and that transaction closed on October 24, 2011. The results of operations for LeTourneau have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date forward, with results of the drilling products business being included as results of discontinued operations. Results for the mining equipment and steel products business are included in continuing operations as part of the Surface Mining Equipment segment.

We purchased all of the outstanding shares of LeTourneau. The purchase price for the acquisition was as follows:


(in thousands)
Cash consideration	$	1,100,000
Working capital purchase price adjustments		(46,323	)

	$	1,053,677

The purchase price has been finalized. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is reflected as goodwill. Adjustments have been made during the year to reflect additional warranty liability, certain personnel related liabilities, deferred taxes and changes in estimates related to the disposition of certain liabilities associated with the drilling products business. The amount allocated to intangible assets and goodwill for tax purposes is expected to be tax deductible as a result of our election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

The determination of the useful life was based upon historical experience, economic factors, and future cash flows of the assets acquired.

Approximately $11.5 million and $7.7 million of the inventory fair value adjustment associated with the acquisition was expensed in 2012 and 2011, respectively, through cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations as the corresponding inventory was sold.

The results of LeTourneau have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. From the date of acquisition until our 2011 fiscal year end, the mining equipment and steel products businesses of LeTourneau had combined net sales of $144.9 million and operating income of $23.2 million. We incurred $10.4 million of acquisition costs related to LeTourneau.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended October 28, 2011 reflects the results of continuing operations as if the acquisition had been completed on October 30, 2010.
