ACQUISITIONS
Smith System
On July 12, 2018, we acquired Smith System Manufacturing Company ("Smith System"), a Texas-based manufacturer of high quality furniture for the pre-K-12 education market. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $140.0, payable in cash, plus a net adjustment for working capital of $8.4. In addition, we funded $5.0 to a third-party escrow account, which is payable to the seller at the end of two years based on continued employment. The acquisition was funded through a combination of domestic cash on-hand and short-term borrowings under our global credit facility.
Smith System is an industry leader in the U.S. pre-K-12 education market. The acquisition is expected to advance our growth strategy in the education and office markets particularly as it relates to collaborative spaces. The synergies between our existing education brand and the Smith portfolio are expected to be realized as we offer their products to our existing dealer network and expand the business internationally.
Tangible assets and liabilities of Smith System were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $44.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $79.3 related to goodwill and $25.0 related to tangible assets, mainly consisting of working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventory and current liabilities. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes and is recorded in the Americas segment. Intangible assets are principally related to internally-developed know-how and designs, dealer relationships and the Smith System trade name, which will be amortized over periods ranging between 9 to 11 years.
The purchase price allocation for the Smith System acquisition was incomplete as of August 24, 2018. We are still evaluating certain working capital adjustments, as well as the reporting unit to which the goodwill resulting from the Smith System acquisition will be allocated for future impairment testing purposes.
The following table summarizes the acquired identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:

AMQ
On December 26, 2017, we acquired AMQ Solutions ("AMQ"), a California-based provider of height-adjustable desking, benching and seating for workstations in the open plan, collaborative environments and training rooms. In addition, we acquired certain assets of an affiliated company, Tricom Vision Limited. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $69.9, which was primarily funded by the liquidation of short-term investments. Up to an additional $5.0 is payable to the sellers contingent upon certain performance obligations being met over a two year period. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our reach within the industry by broadening our portfolio at lower price points. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists largely of economies of scale expected from integrating AMQ into our existing dealer network.
Tangible assets and liabilities of AMQ were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $30.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $31.5 to goodwill and approximately $12.5 related to working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Intangibles are principally related to dealer relationships which will be amortized over 11 years.
In Q1 2019, we recorded measurement period adjustments of $0.5 related to a decrease in net working capital and a decrease of $0.2 to the contingent liability payable to the sellers for certain liabilities existing prior to the opening balance sheet date. These adjustments increased goodwill by $0.3, and all amounts referenced above are inclusive of these measurement period adjustments. No measurement period adjustments were recorded in Q2 2019.
The purchase price allocation for the AMQ acquisition was incomplete as of August 24, 2018. We are still evaluating certain working capital adjustments, as well as the reporting unit to which the goodwill resulting from the AMQ acquisition will be allocated for future impairment testing purposes.
