​ The intangible assets for the above investments have not been finalized and allocated to their respective identifiable asset and goodwill accounts. In aggregate, investments completed since the end of September 2021 and not consolidated with other operations contributed approximately $93.3 million in net sales and $6.1 million in operating profits during the first nine months of 2022. As a result of the investment in Dempsey on June 27, 2022, we own 50% of the issued equity of the Company, and the remaining 50% of the issued equity is owned by the previous owners (“Sellers”). The investment in Dempsey is an unconsolidated variable interest entity and we have accounted for it using the equity method of accounting because we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Per the contracts, the Sellers have a put right to sell their equity interest to us for $50 million and we have a call right to purchase the Seller’s equity interest for $70 million, which are both first exercisable in June 2025 and expire in June 2030. As of September 24, 2022, the carrying value of our investment in Dempsey is $67.0 million and is recorded in Other Assets. Our maximum exposure to loss consists of our investment amount and any contingent loss that may occur in the future as a result of a change in the fair value of Dempsey relative to the strike price of the put option.
