ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS [Abstract] |
ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS |
4. | 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. 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 purchase of the LCM assets. 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. The amount recorded as goodwill will be fully deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of LCM have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. We incurred various costs related to the purchase of the LCM assets, including professional fees for due diligence, legal fees and accounting services. These costs totaled approximately $675,000 for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2013, and were recorded as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
