Business Combinations | 8) Business Combinations During fiscal 2016, the Partnership acquired a heating oil dealer, a motor fuel dealer, and two propane dealers for purchase prices aggregating approximately $9.8 million. The aggregate purchase price was allocated $5.7 million to intangible assets, $1.7 million to goodwill, $2.5 million to fixed assets, and reduced by $0.1 million for working capital credits. The acquired companies’ operating results are included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements starting on their respective acquisition date, and are not material to the Partnership’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. During fiscal 2015, the Partnership acquired two heating oil and propane dealers (with one dealer also having motor fuel accounts) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.1 million. The final gross allocation of the purchase price of both heating oil and propane dealers was $20.7 million to intangible assets, $2.5 million to fixed assets and reduced by $2.1 million for working capital credits. Each acquired company’s operating results are included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements starting on its acquisition date. Customer lists, other intangibles and trade names are amortized on a straight-line basis over seven to twenty years. During fiscal 2014, including the acquisition of Griffith Energy Services, Inc.
