ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of Voltyre-Prom On October 4, 2013, Titan, in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), closed the acquisition of an 85% interest in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia, for approximately $94.1 million, which includes the assumption of debt. Titan is acting as operating partner with responsibility for Voltyre-Prom's daily operations on behalf of the consortium of which Titan holds a 30% interest. This acquisition expanded Titan's footprint into the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region. The fair value of the consideration transferred and noncontrolling interests exceeded the fair value of the identified assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Therefore, goodwill of $21.0 million was recorded on the transaction at the time of acquisition, which was not deductible for tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $15.6 million for Voltyre-Prom which removed all goodwill related to this acquisition. The difference from the amount originally recorded was due to foreign currency translation. See Note 10 for additional information. An initial noncontrolling interest of $14.5 million, representing the 15% not owned by the partnership, was recorded at the acquisition date. In the first half of 2014, the partnership of Titan, OEP, and RDIF purchased an additional 15% to bring the total Voltyre-Prom ownership to 100% for the partnership. See Note 39 for additional information. The purchase price allocation of the Voltyre-Prom acquisition consisted of the following (in thousands):

Acquisition of Titan Europe Plc. On October 31, 2012, Titan acquired over 97% of the outstanding stock of Titan Europe Plc (Titan Europe) and in December 2012, the remaining 3% interest was acquired. Titan Europe is an international engineering group which designs and manufactures wheels, undercarriage components and assemblies for tracked and wheeled "off-road vehicles". The Titan Europe acquisition allowed the Company to expand its global presence and expand its product line. Prior to the acquisition, Titan held a 21.8% ownership percentage in Titan Europe. Titan Europe shareholders received one share of new Titan common stock for every 11 Titan Europe shares held. A total of 6,257,051 new shares of Titan were issued with a value of $121.8 million. In addition, Titan paid cash of $5.6 million for option payouts and partial shares. Titan's previous investment in Titan Europe had a fair value on the acquisition date of $31.7 million based on Titan Europe's stock price on the AIM market in London. Total consideration including the value of stock issued, cash payments, and the fair value of previously held Titan Europe shares totaled $159.1 million. A gain of $26.7 million was recorded on Titan's previously held interest in Titan Europe which was recorded as Noncash Titan Europe Plc gain in the consolidated statement of operations. This gain was previously recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). 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 were valued at fair value. The purchase price allocation of the Titan Europe acquisition consisted of the following (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 39,122 |
Accounts receivable | 128,585 |

Deferred income taxes - current asset | 22,068 |

The purchase price allocation has changed from that reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Titan Europe's wheel manufacturing facility in Finale Emilia, Italy experienced damage from an earthquake in May 2012, prior to Titan's acquisition of Titan Europe. The plant was closed for production during initial remedial work. This resulted in a limited transfer of production to other facilities within Titan Europe as well as sourcing product from facilities in the U.S. owned by Titan and competitors. In the second quarter of 2013, Titan received a final insurance settlement payment of $38.7 million. As a result of this information, Titan has recorded an earthquake insurance receivable of $17.0 million, decreased the current deferred income taxes by $5.3 million, and recorded a bargain purchase gain of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Pro forma financial information The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Titan Europe Plc as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2012.
