BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On December 4, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of TRC, including its consolidated subsidiaries, in a business combination that was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of a membership interest purchase agreement. TRC is principally an industrial fabricator and constructor serving both light and heavy industrial organizations primarily in the southern region of the United States. Consideration included a $0.5 million cash payment. In addition, the Company made cash payments totaling $15.6 million on the closing date in order to retire the outstanding bank debt and certain leases of TRC. On May 29, 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding capital of APC, a private company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland. This business combination was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of a share purchase agreement, dated May 11, 2015. Including its affiliated companies, APC provides turbine, boiler and large rotating power plant equipment installation, commissioning and outage services to global construction firms, original equipment manufacturers and plant owners worldwide. The fair value of the consideration transferred to the former owners of APC was $11.1 million including a liability in the amount of $1.1 million representing cash held back until the expiration of the escrow period. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, the Company paid the full amount of these funds to the former owners of APC. Both business combinations were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Argan as the acquirer. The results of operations for APC and TRC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the corresponding acquisition dates.
