ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS

On February 13, 2020, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Delta Separations, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Teaching Tech, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively described as "Delta Separations"). Delta Separations was a privately-held engineering company primarily engaged in the assembly and sale of centrifugal ethanol-based extraction systems. The results of Delta Separations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition within the Company's Renewable Energy and Conservation segment. The preliminary purchase consideration for the acquisition of Delta Separations was $47.2 million, which includes a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the asset purchase agreement expected to be remitted in the next three to six months, at which time a final purchase price will be determined.

The purchase price for the acquisition of the assets was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $39.3 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and presence in the extraction processing markets.

In determining the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the Company uses all available information to make fair value determinations using Level 3 unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, and therefore, engages independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of the acquired long-lived assets.

The acquisitions of Delta Separations, Thermo Energy Systems and Apeks were funded from available cash on hand.

The Company incurred certain acquisition-related costs composed of legal and consulting fees. These costs were recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $1.3 million of acquisition-related costs. The Company did not incur any acquisition-related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
