Note 3. ACQUISITIONS

Jet-Pep Assets Acquisition

On November 28, 2017, we closed on the acquisition of the real property and the fuel supply business of 101 commission operated retail sites, including 92 fee simple sites, the leasehold interest in five real property sites and the fuel supply business to four independent commission sites, all located in Alabama, from Jet-Pep, Inc. and affiliated entities, for aggregate cash consideration of $75.6 million, including the value of the motor fuel inventory contained in the retail sites and net of the assumption of certain liabilities. On the same day, Circle K closed on the acquisition of certain related retail and terminal assets from Jet-Pep, Inc. and affiliated entities.

The set of assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business under ASU 2017-01, and as such, this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The values ascribed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition were as follows (in thousands):

 

Current assets (excluding cash and inventories)

The value of land was based on a market approach. The value of buildings and equipment was based on a cost approach. The buildings and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis, with estimated remaining useful lives of 20 years for the buildings and five to 10 years for equipment.

The $9.2 million value of the wholesale fuel distribution rights included in intangibles was based on an income approach and management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel distribution rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.

The $0.5 million value of the wholesale fuel supply agreements was based on an income approach, and management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel supply agreements are being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.

The $1.0 million value of the trademarks was based on an income approach using the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the trademark.

The $0.5 million value of the covenant not to compete was based on an income approach using the difference between the present value of after-tax cash flows with and without the covenant not to compete in place. The covenant not to compete intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 5-year period.

Operating revenues since the date of acquisition were $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Acquisition of State Oil Assets

On September 27, 2016, we closed on the acquisition of 57 controlled retail sites (56 fee sites and one leased site) and certain other assets of State Oil Company, being operated as 55 lessee dealer accounts and two non-fuel tenant locations, as well as 25 independent dealer accounts located in the greater Chicago market for approximately $41.9 million, including working capital.

In December 2016, we sold 17 of these retail sites. See Note 10 for additional information.

Acquisition of Franchised Holiday Stores

On March 29, 2016, we closed on the acquisition of 31 Franchised Holiday Stores and three liquor stores from S/S/G Corporation for approximately $52.4 million, including working capital. Of the 34 stores, 31 are located in Wisconsin and three are located in Minnesota. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under our credit facility.

Purchase of Wholesale Fuel Supply Contracts from CST

In February 2016, we purchased 21 independent dealer contracts and 11 sub-wholesaler contracts from CST for $2.9 million. See Note 12 for additional information.
