Acquisitions:
On December 7, 2012, Briggs & Stratton Representação de Motores e Produtos de Força do Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the common stock of Companhia Caetano Branco (“Branco”) of Sao Jose dos Pinhais, Brazil for a total cash consideration of $59.6 million, net of cash acquired. Branco is a leading brand in the Brazilian light power equipment market with a broad range of outdoor power equipment used primarily in light commercial applications. Its products, including generators, water pumps, light construction equipment and diesel engines, are sold through its independent network of over 1,200 dealers throughout Brazil. The Company recorded a purchase price allocation during fiscal 2013 based on a fair value appraisal by a third party valuation firm. At June 30, 2013, the purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $15.3 million of goodwill, of which $4.6 million and $10.7 million were allocated to the Engines segment and Products segment, respectively, and $24.0 million of intangible assets, including $14.6 million of customer relationships and $9.4 million of tradenames.

The results of operations of Branco have been included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the purchase price are not presented as the effects of the acquisition are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

On August 14, 2014, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Allmand Bros., Inc. for approximately $62.0 million in cash, subject to customary due diligence and working capital adjustments. Founded in 1938 and based in Holdrege, Nebraska, Allmand is a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters and solar LED arrow boards. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
