Acquisitions

On March 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital of each of Brabant Alucast Italy Site Verres S.r.l., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Italy and Brabant Alucast The Netherlands Site Oss B.V., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (collectively "Brabant"). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition complements Shiloh’s global footprint with the addition of aluminum casting and the expansion of magnesium casting capabilities in Europe, while providing necessary capacity for growth.

The aggregate fair value of consideration transferred was $65,273 ($62,481 net of cash acquired), on the date of the acquisition. The acquisition of Brabant has been accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using the income approach and estimates provided by management. The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the estimated fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the preliminary purchase price is based upon a valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
 
$
2,792

Accounts receivable
 
22,719

Inventory
 
10,603

Other assets, net
 
2,026

Property, plant and equipment
 
54,034

Goodwill
 
408

Intangible assets
 
2,328

Accounts payable and accrued expenses
 
(29,637
)
Net assets acquired
 
$
65,273



The purchase price allocation is provisional, pending completion of the valuation of acquired intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and inventories. The Company is utilizing a third party to assist in the fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price allocation, namely inventory, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The final valuation may change the allocation of the purchase price, which could affect the fair values assigned to the assets.

The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business (which is not eligible for separate recognition as an identifiable intangible asset) and the expected synergies expected after the Company's acquisition of Brabant. All of the goodwill was allocated to the Company's Shiloh Holdings Netherlands B.V. subsidiary. The Company does not expect that the preliminary goodwill amount of $408 will be deductible for tax purposes under current Italian or Netherland tax law.

The $2,328 of acquired intangible assets was assigned to developed technology that have a useful life of 13 years. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired have been determined primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The Company is utilizing a third party to assist in assigning a fair value to acquired intangible assets. The Company does not expect that the total amount of identifiable intangible assets will be deductible for tax purposes under current Italian or Netherland tax law.
