ACQUISITION OF PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS & INGREDIENTS COMPANY [Abstract]

ACQUISITION OF PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS & INGREDIENTS COMPANY

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION OF PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS & INGREDIENTS COMPANY

On May 7, 2014, the Company acquired 100 percent (the “Acquisition”) of the outstanding common shares of Performance Chemicals & Ingredients Company (d/b/a SensoryEffects), a privately held supplier of customized food and ingredient systems, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, for a purchase price of approximately $569 million including working capital acquired. The purchase price included a $5.5 million deposit made on March 31, 2014 with an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of a Letter of Intent. SensoryEffects is a leader in powder, solid and liquid flavor systems, creamer and specialty emulsified powders, cereal-based products and other functional ingredient food and beverage delivery systems. The Acquisition of SensoryEffects accelerates the Company’s growth into the health and wellness markets. SensoryEffects was merged with the Company’s Food, Pharma & Nutrition segment, strengthening its market leadership position, and the segment was renamed SensoryEffects.

The estimated goodwill of $357,131 arising from the Acquisition consists largely of expected synergies, including the combined entities experience and technical problem solving capabilities, and acquired workforce. The goodwill is assigned to the SensoryEffects segment and approximately $20,466 is expected to be tax deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,635
Accounts receivable, net		25,674
Inventories		32,000
Property, plant and equipment, net		75,850
Customer relationships		130,300
Trade names		31,100
Developed technology		3,200
Other assets		3,955
Indemnification asset		1,650
Trade accounts payable		(10,427	)
Accrued expenses		(6,326	)
Deferred income taxes		(77,500	)
Goodwill		357,131
Total purchase price	$	569,242

The estimated valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. In preparing our preliminary fair value estimates of the intangible assets and certain tangible assets acquired, management, among other things, consulted an independent advisor. The purchase price and related allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary pending finalizing actual working capital acquired as of the Acquisition date. Additionally, certain intangible assets are not tax deductible and the related deferred tax liabilities are preliminary pending management’s final review.

Customer relationships are amortized over a 10-year period utilizing an accelerated method based on the estimated average customer attrition rate. Trade names and developed technology are amortized over 10 years and 5 years, respectively, utilizing the straight-line method as the consumption pattern of the related economic benefits cannot be reliably determined.

The Company is indemnified for tax liabilities prior to the Acquisition date.  There were no changes in the indemnification asset balance from May 7, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

Transaction and integration related costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are $2,616.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013.
