2.Acquisitions

On December 30, 2013, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of a European producer of creping and coating blades for approximately $2,627,000 in cash, including $674,000 of cash acquired and $53,000 of debt assumed. An additional 1,000,000 euros, or approximately $1,362,000, of contingent consideration is due to the sellers within two years of the closing date if certain conditions are met, as defined in the purchase agreement.

This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and its results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The Company has made a preliminary fair value assessment of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,800,000, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over 12 years. The excess of the acquisition purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and totaled $1,590,000, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the valuation, and therefore the current measurements of intangible assets, acquired goodwill, and assumed assets and liabilities are subject to change.

Pro forma disclosures of the results of operations are not required, as the acquisition is not considered a material business combination as outlined in FASB ASC 805, "Business Combinations."

During the first six months of 2014, the Company made post-closing adjustment payments of $817,000 related to acquisitions completed prior to 2014.
