INDEPENDENT AUITORS'  REPORT



To The Members of
B27, LLC
Plano, Texas
 
Report on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of B27, LLC and subsidiaries (“Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
 
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor's Responsibility
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U. S. generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Opinion
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of B27, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Emphasis of a Matter
 
As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has retrospectively adopted the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition on manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps and remanufactured pump products from the completed contract method during the year ended December 31, 2012.

B27, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Thousands of dollars)

Organization and Consolidation

B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, B27 Resources, Inc. and Best Holding, LLC, along with Best Holding, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Equipment Service and Sales Company, LLC, Integrated Flow Solutions, LLC, IFS International, LLC, IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. (a Brazilian Limited Liability Company owned 99% by IFS International, LLC and 1% by Best Holding, LLC), PumpWorks 610, LLC and B27 RE, LLC, (collectively, the Company), is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial pumps and pumping systems used in the oil and gas, power generation and chemical processing industries.  The Company’s customers are located in the United States and abroad, however, the primary trading territory for Best Equipment Service & Sales Company, LLC (the distribution company) is Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.  In 2012, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a Nigeria Joint Venture Integrated Flow Solutions West Africa, Ltd.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Tyler and Houston, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana and its corporate offices are located in Plano, Texas.

On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of American Pump Technologies, Inc. (“APT”), a pump repair and service facility located in Shreveport, Louisiana.  The primary purpose of the acquisition was to provide the Company with an opportunity to expand their capabilities in the repair and servicing of pump equipment in the pumping industry.

As a result of this acquisition, the new assets and liabilities that were aquired have been recorded at their estimated fair market values at the time of the transaction.  Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows are reported for the period from March 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012.  The following table summarizes the values of the assets and liabilities that were purchased at the date of the acquisition:
 
 
 Current assets    $     705
 Property and equipment    1,404
 Intangible assets    285
 Goodwill    1,723
 Total assets    4,117
     
Purchase liabilities     96
     Purchase price    $   4,021
 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a)         Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company utilizes a shared treasury function to manage cash between its divisions which may mean, from time to time, that cash balances in any specific division may be negative, but on an aggregate basis the balance is positive.  The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.

 (b)         Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenues from the sale of distributed products and service/repair activities are recognized on a completed contract basis at the time of shipment.  Revenue from manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps, remanufactured pump products and the manufacturing of engineered to order pumping systems are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on cost to date as a percentage of the estimated total cost at completion.

Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor (including pre-contract labor costs) and production overhead expenses.  These cost are used in the calculation of revenue recognized on a cost to estimated cost basis as described earlier for all of the manufactured API pumps and remanufactured pump products.  For the manufactured engineered to order pumping systems, certain subcontractor and material costs, expended during the design phase of jobs in progress, are incurred as a result of extended lead times related to their procurement.  In order to more accurately capture expended efforts towards project completion, these material and contractor costs, although identified to the job, are included in job costs after completion of the design phase.

The asset, "Costs and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents the cost and percentage of estimated profit recognized in excess of amounts billed.  The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated profit on  uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
 
Customer deposits in current liabilities represent monies received prior to revenue recognition on completed contracts.
 
Revenues are reported net of sales taxes.  The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales.  Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

(c)         Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on estimates of the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, which is determined principally based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, but also customer credit history, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports.  Customer credit issues, customer bankruptcies or general economic conditions may also impact these estimates.
 
(d)         Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.

(e)         Minority Investment in Joint Venture

As mentioned earlier, the Company owns a 49% interest in a Nigerian joint venture that has been recorded on the equity method.  The investment balance at December 31, 2012 was $(77).  Additionally, one of the subsidiaries of the Company, IFS International, LLC, has a receivable of $460 and has guaranteed letters of credit totaling $2,195 at December 31, 2012.

    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.

 (f)         Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at fair market value in connection with merger, reorganization and acquisition activities of the Company.  All other property, plant and equipment purchases are recorded at cost.  Depreciation or amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant replacements, betterments and major renewals are capitalized.

(g)         Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(h)         Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include the fair value of long-lived assets, the collectibility of the accounts receivable, the estimated cost of completing work in process, the estimated costs of warranties, the accrual for incurred, but not reported claims in the self-funded medical plan and the Company’s inventory value.

(i)  Warranty Reserves
 
The Company provides warranty reserves which are calculated based on historical claims experience and management’s estimates of the Company’s exposure, after considering any warranties provided by the original equipment manufacturers.  Accrued expenses at December 31, 2012 and 2011, include $198 and $293, respectively, in warranty reserves resulting from these calculations.

(j)  Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under such provisions, the income of the Company flows through to the members to be taxed at the individual level rather than at the corporate level.  With the exception of B27 Resources, Inc., which files as a corporation for federal tax purposes, no provision for federal income tax expense or deferred tax benefit or liability has been recorded in the accompanying financials.

(k) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets

Intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis.  The excess of purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, but is subject to an impairment assessment that must be performed at least annually.  Deferred loan costs are amortized over the term of the borrowings using a method approximating the effective interest method.

For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, as provided by ASU 2012-08 issued by the Financial Account Standards Board, the Company performed a qualitative assessment using certain prescribed factors to determine the annual impairment testing of goodwill.  Factors considered in the assessment included various macroeconomic, industry and market conditions as well as analysis of other cost factors and the overall financial performance of the Company.  The intent of this testing is to determine whether it is more likely than not that the value of the Company is less than its carrying value.  After making this qualitative assessment, the Company determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conjunction with the acquisition of American Pump Technologies as earlier described, an allocation of goodwill was made to Section 142, Other Intangibles based on an assessment performed by management.  The result of this assessment allocated $285 of the unallocated purchase price to customer relationships.

Amortization expenses of other intangible assets are being recorded using estimated useful lives of 12-14 years for customer relationships,  9.3-10 years for trademarks, 6.5 years for patterns and 15 years for drawings.

Note 6 – Line of Credit
 
The Company completed the refinancing of its existing credit facility in May, 2011, as further described in Note 8, adding $1,000 to increase the revolving line of credit from $9,000 to $10,000.  This revolving note as amended, continues to bear interest at a rate that varies based on the bank’s prime interest rate plus 3.75% as determined and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.  There was no borrowing under the revolving note at December 31, 2012 or 2011.
 
Under the new credit facility, the Company issues letters of credit which are issued to customers in the ordinary course of business to support advanced payments, as performance and/or warranty guarantees or in lieu of retention on contracts.  Letters of credit issued to secure guaranteed contracts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, totaled $2,896 and $1,627, respectively.

Note 7 – Short-term Borrowings – Related Parties

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a L/C Subordinated Loan Agreement with certain members which provides for up to $10,000 in loans to be used as collateral for possible future letters of credit under high backlog situations.  The loans are available to be issued at the discretion of each members’ approval as well as senior lender approval and will include provisions consistent with the terms of the note described above.  No borrowings have occurred under the loan agreement.

During 2011, convertible subordinated promissory notes totaling $6,450 were converted to common and preferred conversion units, as further described in Note 10.

Note 8 – Long-term Borrowings, cont’d.
 
The Restated Credit Agreement allows for interest rates to be determined under two interest rate methods.  Base Rate Loans are tied to the Prime lending rate plus a spread of 3.75% and interest using this rate method is paid on a monthly basis.  LIBOR Loans are contracts purchased using one of four LIBOR rate periods; 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months with a minimum floor of 1.5%, as stated above, plus a spread of 4.75% and interest using this rate method is accrued monthly and paid quarterly.  The applicable LIBOR contract is determined by management for each of the relevant periods and is staggered to mature quarterly when the principal payments are due.

 
The Credit Agreement requires the Company at the end of each accounting year after the financial audit is presented to calculate an excess cash flow payment.  These provisions provide for an additional payment to be made against the long-term borrowing based on a ratio of total debt to EBITDA.  No payments were made in 2012 and 2011 related to this provision of the credit agreement.
 
As required by the Senior Credit Agreement, on January 10, 2012, the Company entered into an interest rate cap contract on 50% of the outstanding senior note balance through May 18, 2013 for a payment of $7.  The contract, which is designated as a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC 815, caps the variable interest rates under the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement at a strike rate of 5% based on 3 month LIBOR.
 
Subordinated notes
Certain subordinated notes were paid off as part of the refinancing of the senior credit facility in May, 2011 as described above.  Included in this payoff was an early redemption premium of $249 that represented 1% of the payoff balance as defined in the agreement.

Subordinated note – related party acquisition financing
 
On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with certain related parties totaling $4,000.  The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid in cash at a rate of 10% per annum and a portion as payment-in-kind which accrues at a rate of 7.5% and is added to the principal balance of the note.  The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on January 1, 2014.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred $782 of interest expense of which $205 was accrued and $336 was added to the principal balance of the note.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $740 of interest expense of which $190 was accrued and $311 was added to the principal balance of the note.

Subordinated note – related parties
 
The Company entered into a financing arrangement to obtain necessary cash to use as collateral for letter of credit requirements related to the financing of a large order.  The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid as payment-in-kind which accrues in the form of a long-term subordinated note.  Once the short term borrowing is satisfied, this existing accrued obligation will remain and begin to accrue interest at 17.75%.  The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on October 7, 2013.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, $168 and $141 in interest were added to the principal, respectively.

Note 9 – Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of its employees in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company's contributions to the plan are discretionary.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, employer matching contributions totaled $299 and $248, respectively.

Effective July 25, 2008, the Company created the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”).  The Plan authorizes the grants of phantom units to eligible employees, consultants and directors, subject to the conditions of the Plan.  The phantom units represent the right to receive the fair market value of one LLC membership unit at the date of grant, without conveying the rights and privileges associated with equity ownership.  Awards are granted at the sole discretion of the board of directors and vest at a rate of 25% annually from the date of the award.  They are cancelled and forfeited, if not vested, upon termination of service or employment.  Early vesting occurs in the events of death, disability, retirement or change in control.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no phantom LLC units have been granted under the Plan.

Note 10 – Members’ Equity
 
Members’ equity is comprised of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units.  The units have varying rights and privileges that are defined in the Company’s Operating Agreement.  Series A Preferred Units are non-voting and may be redeemed on or after the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance.  Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred return accruing at the rate of 8% per annum on the unpaid Series A preference amount as defined in the Operating Agreement.  The Operating Agreement, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 60,000 Common and Series A Preferred Units.

In 2011, in conjunction with the CTI Acquisition, the operating agreement was amended to increase available common and Series A units from 50,000 to 60,000 in order to provide the additional units necessary for the conversion of the $6,450 convertible note discussed in Note 7.  In January, 2012, this debt was converted to equity at a rate of one Common and one Series A Preferred unit per thousand dollars.  Included in the conversion was accrued interest related to the debt of $487.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, 56,427 and 56,427, respectively, of Common and Series A Preferred Units were issued and outstanding.

Note 11 – Fair Market Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

    Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

    Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
 
    Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consist of goodwill and other intangible assets (see Note 5). These assets are measured using level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820.

The carrying values of the Company's long-term borrowings approximate fair values for financial instruments of similar risk.  The carrying values of cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Note 12 – Business and Credit Concentrations

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 31% and 37%, respectively, of the Company's sales were to companies outside of the United States.  No one customer or country accounted for a significant portion of these sales.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, one customer accounted for approximately 22% and 23%, respectively, of accounts receivable.  No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company maintains bank accounts at several banks.  Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Management closely monitors the financial condition of these institutions.


Note 13 – Commitments

The Company has non-cancelable operating leases for various sales offices and manufacturing locations as well as several vehicles.  The following is a summary of future minimum rental payments due under the lease agreements as of December 31, 2012:

Years ending
December 31,

2013                                                                                        $      1,084
2014                                                                                                1,004
2015                                                                                                1,004

After 2016                                                                                         150

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, lease related expenses were $1,084 and $927, respectively.
 
The Company has a self funded medical plan that is funded based on historical claim calculations and the historical claims experience of the administrative service provider (Blue Cross / Blue Shield).  Based on these factors, an annual expected paid claims target is calculated and an aggregate stop loss calculation is used to determine the exposure limitation of the plan.  The plan is partially funded to account for these expenses and the premiums that are paid from the plan to fund stop loss insurance that minimizes the Company’s exposure.  These calculations are based on historical estimates of accrued expenses which will be different than actual expenses and, consequently, there is a potential unfunded liability for this difference.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, accrued expenses include $60 related to this unfunded risk.

The Company has commitments to perform on long-term contracts at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Certain of these contracts contain performance penalties for work that is not completed to the specified performance schedules, which could be material to the Company. Included in the accrued expenses as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are $0 and $36 related to these contract performance conditions.

Due to the nature of the oil and gas industry, there is a potential exposure for environmental remediation contingencies. The Company believes they are adequately insured against possible losses of this nature.

The Company is party to a five year license agreement for certain engineering related software products. The agreement expires February, 2018. The annual license fee under the agreement was approximately $86 as of December 31, 2012.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'  REPORT




To The Members of
B27, LLC
Plano, Texas


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of B27, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U. S. generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of B27, LLC and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has retrospectively adopted the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition on manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps and remanufactured pump products from the completed contract method.

B27, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
(Thousands of dollars)


Organization and Consolidation

B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, B27 Resources, Inc. and Best Holding, LLC, along with Best Holding, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Equipment Service and Sales Company, LLC, Integrated Flow Solutions, LLC, IFS International, LLC, IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. (a Brazilian Limited Liability Company owned 99% by IFS International, LLC and 1% by Best Holding, LLC), PumpWorks 610, LLC and B27 RE, LLC, (collectively, the Company), is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial pumps and pumping systems used in the oil and gas, power generation and chemical processing industries.  The Company’s customers are located in the United States and abroad, however, the primary trading territory for Best Equipment Service & Sales Company, LLC (the distribution company) is Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Tyler and Houston, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana and its corporate offices are located in Plano, Texas.  IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. maintains a sales / project management office in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

On August 31, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Centrifugal Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), a pump manufacturer located in Shreveport, Louisiana.  The primary purpose of the acquisition was to provide the Company with an opportunity to expand their capabilities as an original equipment manufacturer in the pumping industry.  The purchase was funded by increasing the existing senior note by $1,000 and obtaining two new notes; a subordinated note for $4,000 and a convertible subordinated note for $6,450 which was converted to equity in January, 2011 as more fully described in Note 7.

As a result of this acquisition, the new assets and liabilities that were aquired have been recorded at their estimated fair market values at the time of the transaction.  Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows are reported for the period from September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.  The following table summarizes the values of the assets and liabilities that were purchased at the date of the acquisition:

Current assets                                                                                                   $  1,867
Property and equipment                                                                                       1,429
Intangible assets                                                                                                    3,263
Goodwill                                                                                                                5,577
 
          Total assets
12,136
 
Current liabilities                                                                                                  1,010
     Purchase price                                                                                              $11,126

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
(a)         Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company utilizes a shared treasury function to manage cash between its divisions which may mean, from time to time, that cash balances in any specific division may be negative, but on an aggregate basis the balance is positive.  The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


 
 

 
    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.

(b)         Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenues from the sale of distributed products and service/repair activities are recognized on a completed contract basis at the time of shipment.  Revenue from manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps, remanufactured pump products and the manufacturing of engineered to order pumping systems are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on cost to date as a percentage of the estimated total cost at completion.

Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor (including pre-contract labor costs) and production overhead expenses.  These cost are used in the calculation of revenue recognized on a cost to estimated cost basis as described earlier for all of the manufactured API pumps and remanufactured pump products.  For the manufactured engineered to order pumping systems, certain subcontractor and material costs, expended during the design phase of jobs in progress, are incurred as a result of extended lead times related to their procurement.  In order to more accurately capture expended efforts towards project completion, these material and contractor costs, although identified to the job, are included in job costs after completion of the design phase.

The asset, "Costs and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents the cost and percentage of estimated profit recognized in excess of amounts billed.  The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated profit on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
 
Customer deposits in current liabilities represent monies received prior to revenue recognition on completed contracts.
 
Revenues are reported net of sales taxes.  The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales.  Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

(c)         Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on estimates of the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, which is determined principally based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, but also customer credit history, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports.  Customer credit issues, customer bankruptcies or general economic conditions may also impact these estimates.
 
(d)         Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment was recorded at fair value in connection with the merger and reorganization which occurred July 24, 2008.  Property, plant and equipment acquired in the CTI transaction was also recorded at fair market value.  All other property, plant and equipment purchases are recorded at cost.  Depreciation or amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant replacements, betterments and major renewals are capitalized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.

 (f)         Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(g)         Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include the fair value of long-lived assets, the collectibility of the accounts receivable, the estimated cost of completing work in process, the estimated costs of warranties, the accrual for incurred, but not reported claims in the self-funded medical plan and the Company’s inventory value.

(h)  Warranty Reserves

The Company provides warranty reserves which are calculated based on historical claims experience and management’s estimates of the Company’s exposure, after considering any warranties provided by the original equipment manufacturers.  Accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, include $293 and $408, respectively, in warranty reserves resulting from these calculations.

 (i)  Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under such provisions, the income of the Company flows through to the members to be taxed at the individual level rather than at the corporate level.  With the exception of B27 Resources, Inc., which files as a corporation for federal tax purposes, no provision for federal income tax expense or deferred tax benefit or liability has been recorded in the accompanying financials.

(j) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets

Intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis.  The excess of purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, but is subject to an impairment assessment that must be performed at least annually.  Deferred loan costs are amortized over the term of the borrowings using a method approximating the effective interest method.

(k) Unit Based Compensation

In accordance with FASB ASC 718, grants of phantom units created under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan will be recorded into unit based compensation expense using a market value determined under the Black Scholes model which considers terms related to the grants, such as; (1) risk free interest rates, (2) expected forfeiture rates, (3) volatility, and (4) expected lives of the underlying phantom units in establishing a fair value of the phantom units issued.

 (l) New Accounting Standards

Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures on transfers in and out of Level I and Level II and on activity for Level III fair value measurements.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures of Level III activity, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Our adoption of this disclosure guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which provides additional guidance for testing the impairment of goodwill.  This ASU amends Topic 350 to permit an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (50% threshold) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual and interim period have not yet been issued.  The Company adopted the ASU as of December 31, 2011 (See Note 5).

For the year ended December 31, 2011, as provided by ASU 2011-08 issued by the Financial Account Standards Board, the Company performed a qualitative assessment using certain prescribed factors to determine the annual impairment testing of goodwill.  Factors considered in the assessment included various macroeconomic, industry and market conditions as well as analysis of other cost factors and the overall financial performance of the Company.  The intent of this testing is to determine whether it is more likely than not that the value of the Company is less than its carrying value.  After making this qualitative assessment, the Company determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company used an independent third party to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill.  In performing the valuations, cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflected risks associated with the current market were used.  The results of the testing indicated that goodwill was not impaired for the year ended December 31, 2010 and, as a result of this finding, the second step of the impairment testing (in which fair value of each of the reporting units assets and liabilities are measured) was not required.
 
Amortization expenses of other intangible assets are being recorded using estimated useful lives of 12-14 years for customer relationships,  9.3-10 years for trademarks, 6.5 years for patterns and 15 years for drawings.

Note 6 – Line of Credit
 
The Company completed the refinancing of its existing credit facility in May, 2011, as further described in Note 8, adding $1,000 to increase the revolving line of credit from $9,000 to $10,000.  This revolving note, as amended, continues to bear interest at a rate that varies based on the bank’s prime interest rate plus 3.75% as determined and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.  There was no borrowing under the revolving note at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
 
Under the new credit facility, the Company issues letters of credit which are issued to customers in the ordinary course of business to support advanced payments, as performance and/or warranty guarantees or in lieu of retention on contracts.  Letters of credit issued to secure guaranteed contracts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, totaled $1,627 and $2,371, respectively.

During 2009, increasing backlog levels caused the Company to approach the maximum threshold for available letters of credit under their current credit agreement.  Following modifications to the agreement, certain members of the Company supplied short term financing to purchase a certificate of deposit held for the purpose of providing collateral against a letter of credit on a large order obtained in 2009.  The terms of the short term borrowing agreement provide for the loan to be repaid at the conclusion of the job.  Interest accrues annually at 17.75%, of which 2% - 3% is accrued and will be paid at the completion of the project.  The remaining interest is accrued as payment-in-kind interest as further described in Note 8, under Subordinated Note – Related Parties.  In 2010, an additional $5,507 was advanced under this arrangement to complete the financing for this large project and then, when the project completed, the entire balance was repaid.  Interest paid on the note during 2010 was $88.
 
On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a L/C Subordinated Loan Agreement with certain members which provides for up to $10,000 in loans to be used as collateral for possible future letters of credit under high backlog situations.  The loans are available to be issued at the discretion of each members’ approval as well as senior lender approval and will include provisions consistent with the terms of the note described above.  No borrowings have occurred under the loan agreement.
 
During 2010, convertible subordinated promissory notes totaling $6,450 were issued related to the financing of the CTI transaction.  These notes converted to common and preferred conversion units in January, 2011, as further described in Note 10.  Interest accrued on these notes during 2011 and 2010 totaled $0 and $487, respectively.

Note 8 – Long-term Borrowings, cont’d.

The Company is subject to certain restrictive financial and other covenants under the long-term credit agreements, including affirmative, negative and financial reporting covenants.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, management believes the Company is in compliance with the covenant requirements.
 
The aggregate maturities of long-term borrowings subsequent to December 31, 2011 are as follows:

Senior note
 
As described earlier in Note 6, the Company refinanced its senior credit facility in May, 2011 and, as a part of this refinancing arrangement, paid off the outstanding balance of the subordinated notes and consolidated the debt into one senior note.  As part of this refinancing agreement, the LIBOR interest floor was reduced from 2.5% to 1.5% and the terms were extended through March, 2016.
 
The Restated Credit Agreement allows for interest rates to be determined under two interest rate methods.  Base Rate Loans are tied to the Prime lending rate plus a spread of 3.75% and interest using this rate method is paid on a monthly basis.  LIBOR Loans are contracts purchased using one of four LIBOR rate periods; 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months with a minimum floor of 1.5%, as stated above, plus a spread of 4.75% and interest using this rate method is accrued monthly and paid quarterly.  The applicable LIBOR contract is determined by management for each of the relevant periods and is staggered to mature quarterly when the principal payments are due.
 
The Credit Agreement requires the Company at the end of each accounting year after the financial audit is presented to calculate an excess cash flow payment.  These provisions provide for an additional payment to be made against the long-term borrowing based on a ratio of total debt to EBITDA.  Payments of $0 and $1,409 were made in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to this provision of the credit agreement.
 
As required by the Senior Credit Agreement, on November 19, 2008, the Company entered into a three year interest rate cap contract on 100% of the outstanding senior note balance for a payment of $135.  The contract, which is designated as a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC 815, caps the variable interest rates under the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement at 10.25%.

Note 8 – Long-term Borrowings, cont’d.

Subordinated notes
 
Subject to senior lender approval, the Company has the discretion to, in lieu of payment of the interest due on the note in excess of 11.5%, add such amount to the principal balance of the note.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $186 and $731, respectively, in interest was added to the principal balance of the note.
 
These subordinated notes were paid off as part of the refinancing of the senior credit facility in May, as described above.  Included in this payoff was an early redemption premium of $249 that represented 1% of the payoff balance as defined in the agreement.
 
 Subordinated note – related party acquisition financing
 
In conjunction with financing the acquisition of CTI, the Company entered into a related party financing arrangement with certain related parties totaling $4,000.  The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid in cash at a rate of 10% per annum and a portion as payment-in-kind which accrues at a rate of 7.5% and is added to the principal balance of the note.  The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on January 1, 2014.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $740 of interest expense of which $190 was accrued and $311 was added to the principal balance of the note.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $254 of interest expense of which $176 was accrued and $33 was added to the principal balance of the note.
 
Subordinated note – related parties
 
As earlier described in the short-term borrowing – related parties note, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to obtain necessary cash to use as collateral for letter of credit requirements related to the financing of a large order.  The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid as payment-in-kind which accrues in the form of a long-term subordinated note.  Once the short term borrowing is satisfied, this existing accrued obligation will remain and begin to accrue interest at 17.75%.  The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on October 7, 2013.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $141 and $615 in interest were added to the principal, respectively.

Note 9 – Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of its employees in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company's contributions to the plan are discretionary.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, employer matching contributions totaled $248 and $0, respectively.
 
Effective July 25, 2008, the Company created the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”).  The Plan authorizes the grants of phantom units to eligible employees, consultants and directors, subject to the conditions of the Plan.  The phantom units represent the right to receive the fair market value of one LLC membership unit at the date of grant, without conveying the rights and privileges associated with equity ownership.  Awards are granted at the sole discretion of the board of directors and vest at a rate of 25% annually from the date of the award.  They are cancelled and forfeited, if not vested, upon termination of service or employment.  Early vesting occurs in the events of death, disability, retirement or change in control.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, no phantom LLC units have been granted under the Plan.

Note 10 – Members’ Equity
 
Members’ equity is comprised of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units.  The units have varying rights and privileges that are defined in the Company’s Operating Agreement.  Series A Preferred Units are non-voting and may be redeemed on or after the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance.  Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred return accruing at the rate of 8% per annum on the unpaid Series A preference amount as defined in the Operating Agreement.
 
In 2010, in conjunction with the CTI Acquisition, the operating agreement was amended to increase available common and Series A units from 50,000 to 60,000 in order to provide the additional units necessary for the conversion of the $6,450 convertible note discussed in Note 7.  In January, 2011, this debt was converted to equity at a rate of one Common and one Series A Preferred unit per thousand dollars.  Included in the conversion was accrued interest related to the debt of $487.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 56,427 and 49,490, respectively, of Common and Series A Preferred Units were issued and outstanding.
 
Note 11 – Fair Market Value Measurements
 
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consist of goodwill and other intangible assets (see Note 5). These assets are measured using level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820.
 
The carrying values of the Company's long-term borrowings approximate fair values for financial instruments of similar risk.  The carrying values of cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
 
Note 12 – Business and Credit Concentrations
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 31% and 37%, respectively, of the Company's sales were to companies outside of the United States.  No one customer or country accounted for a significant portion of these sales.

Note 12 – Business and Credit Concentrations, cont’d.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, one customer accounted for approximately 13% and 18%, respectively, of accounts receivable.  No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
The Company maintains bank accounts at several banks.  Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250.  Management closely monitors the financial condition of these institutions.

Note 13 – Commitments

The Company has non-cancelable operating leases for various sales offices and manufacturing locations as well as several vehicles.  The following is a summary of future minimum rental payments due under the lease agreements as of December 31, 2011:

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, lease related expenses were $927 and $933, respectively.
 
The Company has a self funded medical plan that is funded based on historical claim calculations and the historical claims experience of the administrative service provider (Blue Cross / Blue Shield).  Based on these factors, an annual expected paid claims target is calculated and an aggregate stop loss calculation is used to determine the exposure limitation of the plan.  The plan is partially funded to account for these expenses and the premiums that are paid from the plan to fund stop loss insurance that minimizes the Company’s exposure.  These calculations are based on historical estimates of accrued expenses which will be different than actual expenses and, consequently, there is a potential unfunded liability for this difference.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, accrued expenses include $60 related to this unfunded risk.
 
The Company has commitments to perform on long-term contracts at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Certain of these contracts contain performance penalties for work that is not completed to the specified performance schedules, which could be material to the Company.  Included in the accrued expenses as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $36 and $305 related to these contract performance conditions.
 
Due to the nature of the oil and gas industry, there is a potential exposure for environmental remediation contingencies.  The Company believes they are adequately insured against possible losses of this nature.
 
The Company is party to a five year license agreement for certain engineering related software products.  The agreement expires February 2012.  The annual license fee under the agreement was approximately $45 as of December 31, 2011.

Organization and Consolidation

B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, B27 Resources, Inc. and Best Holding, LLC, along with Best Holding, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Equipment Service and Sales Company, LLC, Integrated Flow Solutions, LLC, IFS International, LLC, IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. (a Brazilian Limited Liability Company owned 99% by IFS International, LLC and 1% by Best Holding, LLC which was dissolved in 2012), BPW International, LLC, B27 Engineered Pumps & Systems, DMCC, PumpWorks 610, LLC and B27 RE, LLC, (collectively, the Company), is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial pumps and pumping systems used in the oil and gas, power generation and chemical processing industries.  The Company’s customers are located in the United States and abroad, however, the primary trading territory for Best Equipment Service & Sales Company, LLC (the distribution company) is Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Tyler and Houston, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana and its corporate offices are located in Plano, Texas.

On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of American Pump Technologies, Inc. (“APT”), a pump repair and service facility located in Shreveport, Louisiana.  The primary purpose of the acquisition was to provide the Company with an opportunity to expand their capabilities in the repair and servicing of pump equipment in the pumping industry.  Later in 2012, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a Nigerian Joint Venture; Integrated Flow Solutions West Africa, Ltd.  This entity is an engineering services provider servicing companies operating in the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector.  And in 2013, the Company formed BPW International, LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Company owned 100% by Best Holding, LLC) and B27 Engineered Pumps & Systems, DMCC (a UAE Limited Liability Company formed in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Free Zone owned 100% by BPW International, LLC).  This location is primarily a sales support and service location for handling business in the Middle East.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenues from the sale of distributed products and service/repair activities are recognized on a completed contract basis at the time of shipment.  Revenue from manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps, remanufactured pump products and the manufacturing of engineered to order pumping systems are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on cost to date as a percentage of the estimated total cost at completion.

Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor (including pre-contract labor costs) and production overhead expenses.  These cost are used in the calculation of revenue recognized on a cost to estimated cost basis as described earlier for all of the manufactured API pumps and remanufactured pump products.  For the manufactured engineered to order pumping systems, certain subcontractor and material costs, expended during the design phase of jobs in progress, are incurred as a result of extended lead times related to their procurement.  In order to more accurately capture expended efforts towards project completion, these material and contractor costs, although identified to the job, are included in job costs after completion of the design phase.

The asset, "Costs and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents the cost and percentage of estimated profit recognized in excess of amounts billed.  The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated profit on  uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Customer deposits in current liabilities represent monies received prior to revenue recognition on completed contracts.
 
Revenues are reported net of sales taxes.  The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales.  Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Note 7 – Fair Market Value Measurements
 
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
    Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
    Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
 
    Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consist of goodwill and other intangible assets. These assets are measured using level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820.
 
The carrying values of the Company's long-term borrowings approximate fair values for financial instruments of similar risk.  The carrying values of cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

DXP ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 9, 2013, DXP Enterprises, Inc. (“DXP”) entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2013, (the "Purchase Agreement") with B27, LLC (“B27”) pursuant to which DXP agreed to acquire all of the equity securities and units  of B27 for approximately $285 million. Approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs are expected to be incurred by DXP in connection with this transaction. The purchase price will be financed with borrowings under DXP’s new $600 million credit facility described below and approximately $3.0 million of DXP common stock.  Consummation of the transaction remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, along with the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared assuming the acquisition occurred as of September 30, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income have been prepared assuming the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2012.

For the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the approximate $285 million purchase price, has been allocated based on management’s preliminary estimate of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2013. The purchase price allocation, which excludes transaction costs, is considered preliminary, particularly as it relates to the final valuation of certain identifiable intangible assets and property and equipment. There could be significant adjustments when the valuation is finalized. The preliminary estimate of the purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):

Total current assets
$    43,053
Intangible assets
65,000
Goodwill
209,856
Property and equipment
14,401
Total liabilities
(47,710)
Total purchase price
$  284,600

The acquired intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. These intangible are made up of customer relationships and are estimated to be amortized over approximately 14years using the straight-line method.

The unaudited pro forma statements are prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X and the accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("USGAAP"), which are consistent with those used in DXP's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had B27 been consolidated with DXP during the periods shown. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available at the time of the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of DXP and B27, including DXP’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and DXP’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013.

Description of Pro Forma Adjustments:

a.  
This adjustment is made to eliminate B27 historical amounts.
 
b.  
DXP will borrow approximately $285 million under its Amended and Restated credit facility to fund the cash portion of the purchase price plus $2.0 million of debt issuance costs. The estimated transaction costs are accrued in pro forma adjustment (c). In addition, DXP will issue approximately $3.0 million in stock, as a portion of the approximate $285 million purchase price. The estimated number of shares to be issued is approximately 30,000 shares. All existing B27 long-term debt will be paid off simultaneous with the completion of the acquisition.
 
c.  
This adjustment is made to accrue and expense DXP acquisition related costs.
 
d.  
This adjustment is made to reflect goodwill arising from the acquisition of B27 based upon the preliminary estimated purchase allocation, including estimated transaction costs.
 
e.  
This adjustment is made to reflect the estimated fair value of intangibles at the acquisition date including the effect of deferred taxes. The estimated intangibles are made up of customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated 14 years.
 
f.  
This adjustment is made to eliminate B27’s historical shareholders’ equity.
 
g.  
To eliminate historical B27 identifiable intangible asset amounts. Identifiable intangibles that arise from the acquisition of B27 are estimated and adjusted in (e) above.
 
h.  
This adjustment records the estimated amortization of estimated intangible assets primarily related to customer relationships over an estimated 14 year life on a straight-line basis.
 
i.  
This adjustment is made to record incremental interest expense associated with the approximately $285 million borrowing discussed in (b) that will be used to acquire B27 and the effect of the increased interest rates on existing debt of DXP resulting from the new credit facility, as if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the period presented. This amount also includes amortization of debt issuance costs discussed in (b) over the life of the facility on a straight-line basis.
 
j.  
This adjustment is made to record estimated income tax expense for the effect of the pro forma acquisition of B27 using the estimated incremental tax rate.
