NOTE 3 | - | TOWERJAZZ PANASONIC SEMICONDUCTOR CO., LTD.ESTABLISHMENT
Pursuant to agreements signed between Panasonic Corporation (“Panasonic”) and Tower, Panasonic formed a fully-owned subsidiary named TPSCo in March 2014. Further to said agreements, (a) Panasonic transferred licenses use rights of its semiconductor wafer manufacturing process and transferred its capacity tools of 8 inch and 12 inch at three of its fabs located in Hokuriku Japan (Uozu, Tonami and Arai) to TPSCo; and (b) Tower acquired 51% of the shares of TPSCo in consideration for the issuance of ordinary shares of Tower to Panasonic valued at approximately $7,411 The purchase price has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed. The estimated fair value of the assets, net amounted to $180,935. As the fair value of the net assets acquired less the non-controlling interest exceeded the purchase price, Tower recognized a gain on the acquisition in the amount of $166,404. The Company believes that the gain realized from the acquisition mainly derived from the fact that Panasonic's fabs were not fully utilized in recent years and were anticipated to remain so in the coming years, hence any volume manufacturing and revenue resulting from the transaction with Tower, due to Tower's customer base, contacts, technologies and foundry management and operations expertise will benefit Panasonic and directly increase the value of the transferred assets. The allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
|  |  | As of March 31, 2014 |
| Current assets |  | $ | 91,414 |
| Machinery and equipment |  |  | 245,278 |
| Intangible assets |  |  | 24,520 |
| Total assets as of acquisition date |  | $ | 361,212 |
| Current liabilities |  | $ | 1,426 |
| Long-term Loan |  |  | 85,249 |
| Defered tax liability |  |  | 93,602 |
| Total liabilities as of acquisition date |  | $ | 180,277 |
| Total net assets acquired |  | $ | 180,935 |
| The fair value non-controlling interests in TPSCo |  |  | 7,120 |
| Tower's consideration |  |  | 7,411 |
| Gain on acquisition |  | $ | 166,404 |
The fair value of the non-controlling interest in the table above was derived based on the purchase price paid by Tower to Panasonic in consideration for the acquisition of 51% of TPSCo's shares. The fair values set forth above are based on a valuation of TPSCo's assets and liabilities performed by third party professional valuation experts hired by the Company to appraise the fair value of the assets in accordance with ASC 805-10 "Business Combinations". TPSCo, Tower and Panasonic also agreed to the following, among others: (i) a five-year manufacturing agreement between Panasonic and TPSCo, under which Panasonic will acquire products from TPSCo; (ii) a five-year production related and complimentary services agreement between Panasonic and TPSCo, under which Panasonic will acquire services from TPSCo; (iii) TPSCo will license certain technologies from Panasonic in order to utilize certain Panasonic process technologies for the manufacturing of products; (iv) Panasonic will provide TPSCo with various transition services and support; (v) TPSCo will lease the manufacturing buildings and related facilities infrastructure from Panasonic; and (iv) TPSCo will receive services from Tower including marketing, sales, general and administration services. Pro forma financial information is not presented since the financial information of the acquire was prepared for internal use within its group and is not representative of the financial statements of the acquire had it been standalone entity.
