ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of AII Holding, Inc.
On April 1, 2011, Titan purchased a 70% controlling interest in AII Holding, Inc. (AII) for $1.3 million of Titan stock and payment of $2.3 million for AII's debt. The fair value of the identified assets acquired less liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred and noncontrolling interest. Therefore, a bargain purchase gain of $0.3 million was recorded on the transaction.

Acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American Farm Tire Business
On April 1, 2011, Titan closed on the acquisition of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's (Goodyear) Latin American farm tire business for approximately $98.6 million U.S. dollars. In addition, there were approximately $1.3 million of acquisition related costs recorded as selling, general and administrative costs during the year ended December 31, 2011. The transaction includes Goodyear's Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing plant, property, equipment; inventories; a licensing agreement that allows Titan to sell Goodyear-brand farm tires in Latin America for seven years; and extends the North American licensing agreement for seven years. Net sales and net income before taxes from the acquisition date included in the statement of operations was $276.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively.
The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Real and personal property was valued at fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected as goodwill. The goodwill was allocated to the agricultural segment.
The purchase price allocation of the Latin American farm tire business consisted of the following

The purchase price allocation includes $42.5 million for prepaid royalty. The prepaid royalty is for a seven year period and was calculated using a 2% royalty discounted at a 10% rate. The prepaid royalty and discount will be amortized over the seven year period of the agreement. The current portion of the prepaid royalty was $3.9 million and is included in prepaid & other current assets. The noncurrent portion of the prepaid royalty was $38.6 million and is included in other assets. At December 31, 2011, the current balance of the prepaid royalty was $4.3 million and the noncurrent balance of the prepaid royalty was $33.8 million.

The purchase price allocation includes $53.9 million for supply agreement liability which was valued using the incremental income method. The supply agreement liability was recorded as the supply agreements are for sales at below market prices. The liability will be amortized with an increase to sales over the three year life of the agreement. The current portion of the supply agreement was $18.0 million and is included in other current liabilities. The noncurrent portion of the supply agreement was $35.9 million and is included in other noncurrent liabilities. At December 31, 2011, the current balance of the supply agreement liability was $15.6 million and the noncurrent balance of the supply agreement liability was $19.5 million.
