Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 57%, 60%, 56% and 57% of all purchases made during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $169,000 and $62,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Our joint ventures with Carrier also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include $8,693, $10,064, $13,988 and $16,848, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s-length in the ordinary course of business.

 

Carrier Enterprise II entered into Transactional Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with Carrier, pursuant to which Carrier performed certain business processes on its behalf, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies. The services provided by Carrier pursuant to the TSAs terminated on April 30, 2012. The fees related to these TSAs were $223 and $807 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. At December 31, 2012, $25 related to these TSAs was payable to Carrier and was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding were repaid in 2013 and no further services are required under the TSAs for Carrier Enterprise II.

Carrier Enterprise III entered into TSAs with UTC Canada, pursuant to which UTC Canada performs certain business processes on behalf of Carrier Enterprise III, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies, and UTC Canada entered into TSAs with Carrier Enterprise III, pursuant to which Carrier Enterprise III performs certain business processes on behalf of UTC Canada. The services provided pursuant to the TSAs terminate on various dates but may be extended as agreed upon by the parties. The fees payable by Carrier Enterprise III to UTC Canada under one TSA were substantially offset by the fees payable to Carrier Enterprise III by UTC Canada under the other TSA.

At December 31, 2012, $29,637 was payable to Carrier and UTC Canada for unpaid distributions declared to the noncontrolling interest. This amount was paid to Carrier and UTC Canada in February 2013.
