ACQUISITIONS

In September 2012, we acquired certain assets of Hetronic South Europe S.R.L. for $1,434 in cash, as well as the forgiveness of debt owed to the Company of $1,296, for total consideration of $2,730. We operate this business under the name Hetronic Italy. The business, located in Milan, Italy, is a market leader in industrial safety radio remote controls, primarily serving the Italian market. The accounts and transactions of Hetronic Italy have been included in the Hetronic Group in the Interconnect segment in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.

Based on a preliminary third-party valuation report, management determined that the tangible net assets acquired had a fair value of $266. The fair values assigned to intangible assets acquired were $1,550 for customer relationships and $120 for non-compete agreements, resulting in $794 of goodwill. The customer relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized over 12 and 5 years, respectively.
