ACQUISITIONS
3.  ACQUISITIONS

All of the Company's acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition.  The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. Any contingent purchase price on acquisitions completed before January 1, 2009 will increase goodwill when paid.

During 2009 the initial purchase price allocation for the 2008 acquisitions was adjusted to allocate $2.5 million of purchase price to goodwill.  These increases in goodwill primarily related to reducing the value of inventories and fixed assets for the acquisitions completed during 2008. During 2009 the Company recognized an impairment charge of $53.0 million for goodwill and other intangibles associated with the Service Centers and SCS segments.  During 2010 the Company paid $0.2 million in contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of Falcon Pump.  During 2011 the Company paid $1.0 million in contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of Indian Fire & Safety in 2007.

On April 1, 2010, DXP acquired substantially all the assets of Quadna, Inc. (“Quadna”). The purchase price of approximately $25.0 million (net of $3.0 million of acquired cash) consisted of $11 million paid in cash, $10 million in the form of convertible promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 10% and approximately $4.0 million in the form of 343,337 shares of DXP common stock.  On April 9, 2010, $4.5 million principal amount of the convertible promissory notes, along with accrued interest, were converted into 376,417 shares of DXP's common stock.  On August 18, 2010, $3.7 million of the convertible promissory notes were paid off using funds obtained from DXP's credit facility and $1.8 million of the convertible promissory notes were converted to 117,374 shares of DXP common stock.  The $11 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded by borrowings under DXP's existing credit facility.  DXP completed this acquisition to expand its pump business in the Western U.S.  Goodwill of $18.8 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.  It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Quadna with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.
 
On November 30, 2010, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of D&F Distributors, Inc. (“D&F”).  The purchase price of $13.4 million consisted of approximately $7.4 million paid in cash, approximately $2.9 million in the form of promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 5%, and approximately $3.1 million in the form of 155,393 shares of DXP common stock. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded by borrowings under DXP's existing credit facility.  DXP completed this acquisition to expand its pump business in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio.  Goodwill of $5.4 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.  It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of D&F with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

On October 10, 2011, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Kenneth Crosby ("KC").  DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence in the eastern U.S. and strengthen DXP's metal working offering.  DXP paid approximately $16 million for KC, which was borrowed under our existing credit facility.  Goodwill of $5.8 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.  It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of KC with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

On December 30, 2011, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of C.W. Rod Tool Company ("CW Rod").  DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP's metal working offering.  DXP paid approximately $1.1 million of DXP's common stock (35,714 shares) and approximately $42 million in cash for CW Rod, which was borrowed during 2011 and 2012 under our recently expanded credit facility. The $42 million of cash paid for CW Rod includes $36.7 million paid in the form of checks which did not clear our bank until 2012.  Goodwill of $10.0 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.  It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of CW Rod with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for Quadna, D&F, KC and CW Rod were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated.  The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets.  The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates.  Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets.  Discount rates of 17.0% to 17.2% were deemed appropriate for valuing these assets and were based on the risks associated with the respective cash flows taking into consideration the acquired company's weighted average cost of capital.
