ACQUISITIONS

TRX Industries

On January 3, 2012, we acquired the assets and operating business of Texas-based TRX Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of perforating guns, for a purchase price of $10,294.  TRX, which has now been integrated into our subsidiary DYNAenergetics US, had been a long-term supplier to DYNAenergetics US and, in recent years, accounted for a rapidly growing percentage of its perforating gun purchases.

The acquisition of TRX was structured as an asset purchase in an all-cash transaction.  The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their fair values as determined by appraisals performed as of the acquisition date on property, plant and equipment and discounted cash flow analysis on the identifiable intangible assets.  The allocation of the purchase price to the assets of TRX was as follows:

Current assets	$	2,702
Property, plant and equipment	2,227
Intangible assets	5,365
Deferred tax assets	40
Total assets acquired	10,334
Current liabilities	40
Total liabilities assumed	40
Net assets acquired	$	10,294

We acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of TRX.  The finite-lived intangible assets acquired were classified as customer relationships, totaling $5,365, and are being amortized over 6 years.  These amounts are included in Purchased Intangible Assets and are further discussed in Note 2 "Significant Accounting Policies."
