Acquisitions

The Company completed acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as described below consistent with its strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in selected markets. The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn stores acquired.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, 29 pawn stores located in four U.S. states were acquired by the Company in four separate asset purchase transactions (“U.S. Acquisitions”) for an aggregate purchase price of $31,825,000, net of cash acquired, and was composed of $30,675,000 in cash and payables to the sellers of $1,150,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company also paid $925,000 of purchase price amounts payable related to prior-year acquisitions.

The preliminary allocations of the purchase prices for the U.S. Acquisitions are as follows (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, revenue from the U.S. Acquisitions since the acquisition dates was $907,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the net loss from the U.S. Acquisitions since the acquisition dates (including acquisition and integration costs) was $658,000. Combined transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $1,175,000, which are primarily included in administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
