Acquisitions | Acquisitions Acquisition of Midwest Grinding On June 10, 2024, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Kinetic acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Midwest Grinding Corp., a Milwaukee grinding house dedicated to precision Blanchard and specialty surface grinding of small to extra-large capacity. Total consideration for the acquisition was $0.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, Kinetic also acquired the building being used in the business for $0.4 million. Total consideration for both the business and building acquisition was $1.0 million, paid in cash at close. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 10, 2024, as calculated by management. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Midwest Grinding to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed (in $000’s):

Acquisition of Central Steel On May 15, 2024, Precision Marshall acquired Central Steel. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $13.9 million, comprised of $10.7 million paid at closing, a seller note of $1.1 million, a holdback, in the amount of $0.3 million, and contingent consideration of $2.0 million paid in the form of a five-year earn-out. The consideration paid at close was funded in part by borrowings under Precision Marshall's credit facility of approximately $3.3 million, and proceeds from a sale and leaseback transaction, discussed below. The acquisition involved no issuance of stock of the Company. Simultaneous to the acquisition, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with Legacy West Partners, LLC, an unrelated party, for one of Central Steel's properties located in Broadview, Illinois. The sales price for the real property subject to the sale and leaseback transaction was approximately $8.3 million, with total proceeds received by the Company of approximately $7.9 million, net of approximately $0.4 million in seller's fees. The lease agreement includes a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. The base rent under the lease agreement is $58,795 per month for the first year of the term and a 2.0% per annum escalator thereafter. The lease agreement is a “net lease,” such that Central Steel is also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the real property incurred by Central Steel. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased property, the Company currently believes it is more likely than not that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. Consequently, because the aggregate term of the lease at its conclusion will represent approximately 75% of the economic life of the building, the Company concluded that the lease is a financing transaction and a failed sale and leaseback transaction, as defined under ASC 842. The proceeds, net of closing fees, from the failed sale and leaseback transaction were used to assist in funding the acquisition of Central Steel. No gain was recognized as a result of the sale. The fair value of the purchase price components was approximately $13.9 million, as detailed below (in $000's):
Purchase price |  | $ | 11,758 |
Fair value of contingent consideration |  | 2,000 |
Holdback |  | 122 |
Net purchase price |  | $ | 13,880 |
Under the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $2.9 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The Company anticipates all of the goodwill arising from the acquisition to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation for the purchase of Central Steel to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed, and goodwill as of March 31, 2025 (in $000’s):
Total purchase price |  |  | $ | 13,880 |
Accounts payable |  |  | 464 |
