ACQUISITIONS | (2) ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of Business On August 31, 2023, the Company acquired HR Products for $58,044 Australian dollars ($37,302 United States (“U.S.”) dollars) in cash (net of cash acquired) and subject to working capital adjustments. Of this amount, $7,200 Australian dollars ($4,626 U.S. dollars) was withheld by the Company at closing as a retention fund, to be settled in two equal payments at 12 and 24 months from the acquisition date for contingencies and disagreements. HR Products provides a broad range of irrigation products to serve the agriculture and landscaping industries and its operations are reported in the Agriculture segment. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s value proposition to customers in the key agriculture market of Australia by expanding its geographic footprint and accelerating its aftermarket parts presence. The customer relationships will be amortized over 13 years. The amount allocated to goodwill is attributable to anticipated synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is currently completing its fair value assessment and expects to finalize the purchase price allocation by the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of HR Products as of the date of acquisition:
