The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of the acquired businesses are included in its condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Historically, acquisitions have been made at prices above the fair value of identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill. Acquisition costs are included in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income as incurred. The Company recorded acquisition costs of $407,000 in the first six months of 2020 and $843,000 in the first six months of 2019.
On June 1, 2020, the Company’s Industrial Processing segment acquired Cogent Industrial Technologies Ltd. (Cogent) for approximately $6,837,000, net of cash acquired, subject to a post-closing adjustment. The Company funded the acquisition through borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Intangible assets acquired totaled $3,350,000 and primarily related to customer relationships. Cogent, based in British Columbia, Canada, is an industrial automation and controls solution provider that offers expertise in process technology integration, industrial automation and controls, industrial safety, project management, and operational performance management systems.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s Industrial Processing segment also acquired certain intellectual property from a company in Austria for $416,000, of which $229,000 was paid in the second quarter of 2020. The Company expects to pay the remaining amount no later than the first quarter of 2022.
