Acquisitions and Dispositions | 9. Acquisitions and Dispositions We actively seek and explore opportunities for expansion through the acquisition of additional broadcast properties. The consolidated statements of income include the operating results of the acquired stations from their respective dates of acquisition. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired have been recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The Company accounts for acquisition under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Management assigned fair values to the acquired property and equipment through a combination of cost and market approaches based upon each specific asset’s replacement cost, with a provision for depreciation, and to the acquired intangibles, primarily an FCC license, based on the Greenfield valuation methodology, a discounted cash flow approach. On January 31, 2014, we acquired one FM station (WFIZ-FM) and three FM Translators serving the Ithaca, New York market for approximately $720,000. We financed this transaction through funds generated from operations. The proforma results of operations for the acquisition of WFIZ-FM are not material to our financial statements and as such are not presented. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
|  | Fair Value |
|  | (in thousands) |
Assets Acquired: |  |  |  |
Current assets |  | $ | 45 |
Property and equipment |  |  | 425 |

On December 2, 2014, we sold the Michigan Radio Network, the Michigan Farm Network, the Minnesota News Network and the Minnesota Farm Network, for approximately $1,640,000. The net assets of these networks approximated $430,000, and as such recognized a gain of approximately $1,210,000 that is included in Other operating (income) expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The proforma results of operations for the sale of these networks is not material to our financial statements and as such are not presented. These radio networks have historically been presented within our radio segment. The radio networks did not meet the criteria of discontinued operations.
