| 3. | ACQUISITIONS
Assets of Beall Corporation On February 4, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of the tank and trailer business of Beall Corporation, a Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer of aluminum tank trailers and related equipment (“Beall”). Beall Corporation began Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings in September of 2012, followed by a bankruptcy-court approved auction of its assets in December. The Company was the winning bidder for certain assets of Beall’s tank and trailer business, including equipment, inventory, certain product designs, intellectual property and other related assets. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities was $13.9 million and was allocated to the opening balance sheet as follows (in thousands):
Current assets |  | $ | 1,035 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 2,714 |
Intangibles |  |  | 8,860 |
Goodwill |  |  | 1,784 |
Total assets |  | $ | 14,393 |
Current liabilities |  | $ | (462) |
Total liabilities |  | $ | (462) |
Acquisition |  | $ | 13,931 |
Intangible assets of $8.9 million were recorded as a result of the purchase of the Beall assets. The intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
|  | Amount |  | Useful Life |
Tradenames and Trademarks |  | $ | 1,622 |  | 20 years |
Technology |  |  | 1,217 |  | 8 years |
Customer relationships |  |  | 6,021 |  | 8 years |
|  | $ | 8,860 |  |  |
Goodwill of $1.8 million was recorded as a result of the Beall asset purchase. Goodwill is comprised of operational synergies that are expected to be realized in both the short and long-term and the opportunity to complement our existing Diversified Products segment through product line expansion and geographic growth. The Company expects the amount recorded as goodwill to be fully deductible for tax purposes. In connection with the purchase of certain assets of Beall, the Company entered into a separate ten year capital lease agreement for Beall’s manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon, with payments totaling approximately $4.7 million for such ten year period. Walker Group Holdings LLC On May 8, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Walker Acquisition”) of all the equity interests of Walker Group Holdings LLC (“Walker”) from Walker Group Resources LLC, the parent of Walker (“Seller”), pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated March 26, 2012, by and among the Company, Walker and Seller (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the Walker Acquisition was $377.0 million in cash. The amount of working capital acquired at the date of acquisition, previously in dispute between the Company and the Seller, was resolved during the second quarter of 2013 and the outcome required the Company to make an additional payment of $2.1 million, which was recorded to Goodwill. The Company financed the Walker Acquisition and related fees and expenses using the proceeds from the Company’s offering of 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 and the Company’s borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as described in further detail in Note 6). Walker is a manufacturer of liquid-transportation systems and engineered products based in New Lisbon, Wisconsin. Walker manufacturing operations are integrated into the Company’s Diversified Products segment while Walker retail operations are integrated into the Retail segment in a manner that is consistent with its focus to leverage operational and market synergies. Walker has manufacturing facilities for its liquid-transportation products in New Lisbon, Wisconsin; Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; and Queretaro, Mexico with parts and service centers in Houston, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Findlay, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Mauston, Wisconsin; West Memphis, Arkansas; and Ashland, Kentucky. Manufacturing facilities for Walker’s engineered products are located in New Lisbon, Wisconsin; Elroy, Wisconsin; and Huddersfield, United Kingdom with parts and service centers in Tavares, Florida; Dallas, Texas; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price of $377.0 million was allocated to the opening balance sheet of Walker at May 8, 2012, the date of acquisition, as follows (in thousands):
Cash |  | $ | 10,982 |
Current assets |  |  | 93,409 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 32,541 |
Intangibles |  |  | 162,800 |
Deferred income taxes |  |  | 4,640 |
Goodwill |  |  | 148,498 |
Total assets |  | $ | 452,870 |
Current liabilities |  | $ | (74,722) |
Deferred income taxes |  |  | (1,100) |
Total liabilities |  | $ | (75,822) |
|  | $ | 377,048 |
Acquisition, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 366,066 |
Intangible assets of $162.8 million were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
|  | Amount |  | Useful Life |
Backlog |  | $ | 900 |  | Less than 1 year |
Tradenames and Trademarks |  |  | 27,600 |  | 20 years |
Technology |  |  | 15,300 |  | 12 years |
Customer relationships |  |  | 119,000 |  | 10 years |
|  | $ | 162,800 |  |  |
Goodwill of $148.5 million was recorded as a result of the Walker Acquisition in the Diversified Products and Retail segments. Goodwill is comprised of operational synergies that are expected to be realized in both the short and long-term and the opportunity to enter new market sectors with higher margin potential, which will enable us to deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders. The Company expects the amount recorded as goodwill for the Walker Acquisition to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The results of Walker are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. Net sales and income before income taxes attributable to Walker for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $270.1 million and $34.4 million, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma information is shown below as if the acquisition of Walker had been completed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These costs totaled $0.9 million and $14.4 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, and have been recorded as Acquisition Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
