NOTE 9 BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

TTE: Effective, February 21, 2020, Transcat acquired substantially all of the assets of TTE Laboratories, Inc. (“TTE") a Boston, MA-based provider of pipette calibration services and equipment. This transaction aligned with a key component of the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting businesses that expand the depth and breadth of the Company’s service capabilities. TTE’s focus on pipettes complements the current offerings Transcat provides to the life science sector.

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of an acquisition is assigned to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company uses a valuation hierarchy, as further described under Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Note 1 above, and typically utilizes independent third-party valuation specialists to determine the fair values used in this allocation. Purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. 75% of the goodwill and intangible assets relating to the TTE acquisition has been allocated to the Service segment with the remaining 25% allocated to the Distribution segment. Intangible assets related to the TTE acquisition are being amortized for financial reporting purposes on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life of up to 10 years and are deductible for tax purposes. Amortization of goodwill related to the TTE acquisition is deductible for tax purposes only.

The total purchase price paid for the assets of TTE was approximately $12.2 million. $1.2 million of the purchase price has been put into escrow as a holdback for indemnification claims, if any. The following is a preliminary summary of the purchase price allocation, in the aggregate, to the fair value, based on Level 3 inputs, of TTE’s assets and liabilities acquired during the period presented:
