Carrier Enterprise I

Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise I”) is a joint venture formed on July 1, 2009 with Carrier that operates a network of locations primarily throughout the U.S. Sun Belt. Since its inception, we had owned 60% of the joint venture and Carrier had owned 40%. We had an option to purchase an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which was exercisable beginning on July 1, 2012. On July 2, 2012, we exercised this option and acquired an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I for cash consideration of $51,880. We have a second option to purchase an additional 10% interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which becomes exercisable beginning on July 1, 2014.

Carrier Enterprise II

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier composed of the combination of two transactions. On April 29, 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in eight Northeast U.S. states, and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. On July 29, 2011, we purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 40% noncontrolling interest.

Carrier Enterprise III

On April 27, 2012, we completed the formation of a joint venture with UTC Canada Corporation (“UTC Canada”), an affiliate of Carrier, to distribute Carrier, Bryant and Payne branded residential, light-commercial and commercial applied HVAC products in Canada. The newly formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Canada, L.P. (“Carrier Enterprise III”), operates 35 locations throughout all of the provinces and territories in Canada. In the formation of the joint venture, UTC Canada contributed its Canadian distribution business and retained a 40% noncontrolling interest in Carrier Enterprise III. Total consideration paid by us for our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III included cash consideration of $82,158 and the issuance to UTC Canada of 1,250,000 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $93,250. The final purchase price was subject to a $1,669 working capital adjustment pursuant to the asset purchase agreement that we entered into with UTC Canada.

 

Based on our preliminary valuation, we anticipate that the purchase price will result in the recognition of $216,463 in goodwill and intangibles. The preliminary valuation of fair value is based on the best information available as of the date of this filing and incorporates management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows and contemplates other valuation techniques. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in the industry, a declining economic environment or market conditions, among other things. Although management believes that the estimates are reasonable, an adjustment to the future cash flows could materially impact the valuation and our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For Canadian income tax purposes, seventy-five percent of the tax basis of the acquired goodwill is amortized at a rate of 7% annually on a declining balance basis.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based upon a purchase price of $173,739 which represents the fair value of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III. The table below presents the allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the noncontrolling interest from the acquisition of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III based on the respective fair values as of April 27, 2012:

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined by applying a pro-rata value of the total invested capital adjusted for a discount for lack of control that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest.
