BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On May 19, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of Carson & Gebel Ribbon Co., LLC ("Carson & Gebel") for approximately $5,173,000 in cash, including transaction costs of approximately $31,000. Carson & Gebel was a manufacturer, distributor and supplier of decorative ribbon and similar products to wholesale florists, packaging distributors and bow manufacturers. Key product categories include cut edge acetate ribbon and velvet ribbon used in everyday and holiday floral arrangements. As of December 31, 2014, a portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow for certain post-closing adjustments and indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the excess of cost over preliminary fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $553,000 was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For tax purposes, goodwill resulting from this acquisition is deductible.
