Note 3. Acquisitions

The Company has accounted for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the financial statements. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the dates of acquisition.

Lance Camper Manufacturing Acquisition

On January 12, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the common shares of Lance Camper Mfg. Corp. and its sister company Avery Transport, Inc. (collectively, “Lance” and the “Lance Acquisition”). Lance designs, engineers and manufactures truck campers, towable campers and toy haulers. This acquisition gives the Company an entrance into the high volume towables segment of the recreational vehicle market. The purchase price paid for Lance was $67.9 million ($61.9 million net of $6.0 million cash acquired), which included an adjustment based on the level of net working capital at closing, as defined in the purchase agreement and was funded through the Company’s revolving credit facility. Lance is reported as part of the Recreation segment.

The Company will also pay up to an additional $10.0 million to the selling shareholders subsequent to the acquisition date in the form of deferred purchase price payable of $5.0 million on each of the 12- and 24-month anniversary dates of the acquisition date as per the agreement terms. This deferred payment is being recognized as an expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations over the period of the agreement.

As of October 31, 2018, the Company had not completed its assessment of the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities assumed, or of the determination of the final purchase price calculation, as defined in the purchase agreement. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $27.5 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes.
