Year Ended December 31, 2015

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $158,552, of which $153,877 was in cash and $4,675 in non-cash consideration consisting principally of exchanges of outdoor advertising assets. As a result of the acquisitions, a gain of $4,326 was recorded for transactions which involved the exchanges of outdoor advertising assets during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value estimates at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions.

	Total

Current assets		5,650
Current liabilities		(8,674	)
Long–term liabilities		(2,501	)
	$	158,552

Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $137,530, of which $34,275 was assigned to goodwill. Although goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, $27,082 is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $103,255 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $14,901 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $87,899 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2015 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $4,588.
