Global Organic/Specialty Source, Inc. On March 7, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of Global Organic/Specialty Source Inc. and related affiliates (collectively "Global Organic") through its wholly owned subsidiary Albert's Organics, Inc. ("Albert's"). Global Organic is a distributor of organic fruits, vegetables, juices, milk, eggs, nuts, and coffee located in Sarasota, Florida serving customer locations across the Southeastern United States. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $20.6 million. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible asset recorded consisted of customer lists of $7.4 million, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately ten years.

Nor-Cal Produce, Inc. On March 31, 2016 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nor-Cal Produce, Inc. ("Nor-Cal") and an affiliated entity as well as certain real estate. Nor-Cal is a distributor of conventional and organic produce and other fresh products in Northern California, with primary operations located in West Sacramento, California. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $67.8 million.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible assets include customer lists of $30.3 million, a tradename with an estimated fair value of $1.0 million, and a non-compete with an estimated fair value of $0.5 million, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of approximately thirteen years, five years and five years, respectively. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company-specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The goodwill of $36.5 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $2.9 million adjustment to the opening balance sheet which decreased goodwill and deferred income tax liabilities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $0.1 million adjustment, which decreased goodwill and liabilities, and completed the final net working capital adjustment resulting in cash received of $0.8 million by the Company, which also decreased goodwill and the total purchase price. The Company finalized its purchase accounting during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Net sales attributed to Nor-Cal from the date of acquisition through the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 were $51.4 million.

Haddon House Food Products, Inc. On May 13, 2016 the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Haddon House Food Products, Inc. (“Haddon”) and certain affiliated entities and real estate. Haddon is a distributor and merchandiser of natural and organic and gourmet ethnic products throughout the Eastern United States. Haddon has a diverse, multi-channel customer base including conventional supermarkets, gourmet food stores and independently owned product retailers. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $217.5 million.
The value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships with an estimated fair value of $62.7 million, the Haddon tradename with an estimated fair value of $0.7 million, non-compete agreements with an estimated fair value of $0.7 million, and a trademark asset related to Haddon-owned branded product lines with an estimated fair value of $2.0 million. The customer relationship intangible asset is currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately thirteen years, the Haddon tradename is being amortized over an estimated useful life of approximately three years, the non-compete agreements that the Company received from the owners of Haddon are being amortized over the five-year term of the agreements, and the Haddon trademark asset associated with its branded product lines is estimated to have an indefinite useful life. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company-specific and market participant information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The goodwill of $43.6 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Net sales attributed to Haddon from the date of acquisition through the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 were $100.4 million.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a reduction to goodwill of approximately $1.6 million related to a net working capital adjustment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company finalized its purchase accounting related to the Haddon acquisition.

Gourmet Guru, Inc. On August 10, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gourmet Guru, Inc. ("Gourmet Guru"). Gourmet Guru is a distributor and merchandiser of fresh and organic food focusing on new and emerging brands. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $10.0 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a reduction to goodwill of approximately $0.1 million related to finalizing the net working capital adjustment. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $0.5 million adjustment to the opening balance sheet, which increased goodwill and accrued expenses and decreased property and equipment. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible asset recorded based on a provisional valuation consisted of customer lists of $1.0 million, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately two years. The goodwill of $10.1 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The Company intends to finalize its purchase accounting with respect to Gourmet Guru in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
    
Cash paid for Global Organic, Nor-Cal, Haddon and Gourmet Guru was financed through borrowings under the Company’s amended and restated revolving credit facility. Acquisition costs have been expensed as incurred within "operating expenses" in the consolidated statements of income. Acquisition costs related to these acquisitions were de minimis for the year ended July 29, 2017 and $2.1 million for the year ended July 30, 2016. The results of the acquired businesses' operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the applicable date of acquisitions. Operations for these acquisitions have been combined with the Company's existing wholesale distribution business and therefore results are not separable from the rest of the wholesale distribution business. The Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to these acquisitions as such information is not material to the Company's financial results.
