2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the nine months ended January 31, 2014, we acquired three solid waste hauling operations in the Western region for total consideration of $2,541 as of the acquisition dates, including $2,026 in cash, $36 of advanced customer billings and $479 in holdbacks to the sellers, and a solid waste hauling operation and a transfer station in the Eastern region for total consideration of $4,298 as of the acquisition dates, including $4,089 in cash and $209 associated with the forgiveness of trade receivables and advanced customer billings. We also acquired an industrial environmental service management business in the Other segment for total consideration of $2,494 as of the acquisition date, including $1,320 in cash, $330 in holdbacks to the seller and $844 in consideration, not to exceed $1,000, contingent upon the realization of a measure of operating income associated with certain prospective customer contracts within twelve months of closing. In addition, we acquired the remaining 50% membership interest of Tompkins County Recycling LLC (“Tompkins”) in the Recycling segment, which we had previously accounted for as an equity method investment, for total cash consideration of $425. See Note 15 for further disclosure regarding this transaction.

 

During the nine months ended January 31, 2013, we acquired four solid waste hauling operations in the Western region for total consideration of $5,384 as of the acquisition dates, including $4,854 in cash and $530 in holdbacks to the sellers, and all of the outstanding capital stock of Bestway Disposal Services and BBI Waste Services (“BBI”) in the Eastern region for total consideration, subject to certain closing adjustments based on the terms of the agreement, of $22,650 as of the acquisition date, including $20,000 in cash and 625 shares of our Class A common stock, valued at an aggregate of $2,650. We recorded an additional $5,242 to goodwill for the increased deferred tax liability related to the BBI acquisition based on the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for income tax purposes, see Note 10 for further disclosure. The operating results of these businesses are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations from each date of acquisition, and the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on fair values at each date of acquisition, with the residual amounts recorded as goodwill. Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization include client lists and non-compete covenants. These are amortized over a five to ten year period from the date of acquisition. All amounts recorded to goodwill, except amounts related to the acquisition of BBI, are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocated to net assets acquired and the residual amount allocated to goodwill during the nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
