ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS [Abstract] |
ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS |
| 7. | ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS
On July 1, 2013, we acquired the machine tool component business of an Italian designer and manufacturer of electro-mechanical components and accessories for machine tools. We are operating this business through our wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, LCM Precision Technologies, or LCM. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The purchase price for the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities was $5.0 million. The allocation of the opening balance sheet of LCM as of July 1, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):
Current assets |  | $ | 6,723 |
Property plant and equipment |  |  | 933 |
Intangibles |  |  | 1,437 |
Goodwill |  |  | 2,477 |
Total assets |  | $ | 11,570 |
Current liabilities |  | $ | 4,821 |
Short term debt |  |  | 4,643 |
Non-current liabilities |  |  | 1,726 |
Total Liabilities |  | $ | 11,190 |
Cash expended, net of cash acquired |  |  | 380 |
Indebtedness assumed |  |  | 4,643 |
Total purchase price |  | $ | 5,023 |
Intangible assets of $1.4 million were recorded as a result of the transaction. The fair value of the intangible assets was based upon a discounted cash flow method that involves inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3). Intangible assets are amortized primarily using a straight-line methodology. The intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):
|  |  |  |  | Remaining Economic
|  |  |  |  | Useful Life
Trademark/name |  | $ | 274 |  |  | 13 years
Technology and manufacturing know how |  |  | 1,111 |  |  | 13 years
Customer relationships |  |  | 52 |  |  | 16 years
|  | $ | 1,437 |  |  |
The excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $2.5 million. Goodwill recognized in the acquisition relates primarily to advancing our machine tool technology and expanding our current product offering. We expect the amount recorded as goodwill to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of LCM have been included in our consolidated financial statements since July 1, 2013.
