Acquisitions | Acquisitions In February 2013, the Company purchased certain assets relating to the TJ® ShearBrace (“ShearBrace”) product line of Weyerhaeuser NR Company (“Weyerhaeuser”), a Washington corporation, for $5.3 million in cash. The ShearBrace is a line of pre-fabricated shearwalls that complements the Company’s Strong-Wall shearwall, and is sold throughout North America. The Company’s measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $2.6 million which was assigned to the North America segment and intangible assets of $1.9 million both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of inventory and equipment accounted for the balance of the purchase price. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 13.4 years. In November 2013, the Company purchased certain assets related to a connector product line from Bierbach GmbH & Co. KG (“Bierbach”), a Germany corporation, for $1.2 million in cash and a contingent liability of $0.8 million. Bierbach manufactured and sold a line of connectors, primarily in Germany. The Company’s measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $0.5 million, which was assigned to the Europe segment, and intangible assets of $0.6 million, both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of inventory and tool and dies accounted for the balance of the purchase price. At the end of 2014, the Company reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability from $0.8 million to $0.2 million due to a failure to retain Bierbach's historical customers and increased competition, which resulted in a $0.5 million gain that was reported in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The goodwill associated with Bierbach was fully impaired during 2014. (See Note 1 "Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Goodwill Impairment Testing"). The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 9.7 years. In December 2015, the Company purchased all of the business assets including intellectual property from Blue Heron Enterprises, and Fox Chase Enterprises, LLC (collectively, "EBTY"), both New Jersey limited liability companies, for $3.4 million in cash. EBTY manufactured and sold hidden deck clips and products and systems using a patented design. EBTY's patented design for hidden deck clips and products and systems will complement the Company's line of hidden clips and fastener systems. The Company's provisional measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $2.0 million which was assigned to the North American segment, and intangible assets of $1.1 million both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net assets consisting of inventory and equipment accounted for the balance of the purchase price. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 7 years. Under the business combinations topic of the FASB ASC, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and ascribed acquisition-date fair values to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Fair value of intangible assets was based on Level 3 inputs. The results of operations of the businesses acquired in 2013 through 2015 are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of the acquisition. They were not material to the Company on an individual or aggregate basis, and accordingly, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.
