C. ACQUISITIONS    

In connection with business acquisitions, the Company records the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, goodwill, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire, all determined as of the date of acquisition. In addition, the Company expenses all acquisition-related costs in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services received.  

 

Claude Laval Corporation

On August 16, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Claude Laval Corporation (“CLC”), a California corporation that manufactures and distributes LAKOS® separators and filtration solutions for groundwater, agriculture, industrial and heat transfer markets, worldwide.  Total consideration paid was $29.0 million which was financed with cash on hand.  The allocation of purchase price for CLC was finalized in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The allocation of purchase price for CLC below changed from the allocation of purchase price disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 because the closing balance sheet under the terms of the purchase agreement and the valuation of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized in November 2013. The Company determined the changes to be immaterial.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for CLC and the amounts of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
