Acquisition of
AirCo Assets
 
On
May 2, 2017
and
May 31, 2017,
our newly formed subsidiaries, AirCo, LLC and AirCo Services, LLC (collectively, “AirCo”) acquired the inventory and principal business assets, and assumed specified liabilities, of Aircraft Instrument and Radio Company, Incorporated, and Aircraft Instrument and Radio Services, Inc. (collectively, the “AirCo Sellers”). The acquired business, which is based in Wichita, Kansas, distributes and sells airplane and aviation parts and maintains a license under Part
145
of the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration. The consideration paid for the acquired business was
$2,400,000.
 
The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by AirCo as of
May 2, 2017,
the date of the completion of the acquisition (the “AirCo Closing Date”):

The Company’s purchase price accounting reflects the estimated net fair value of the AirCo Sellers assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the AirCo Closing Date.
 
The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because AirCo was a non-marketed transaction and in financial distress at the time of the acquisition. The inventory was
not
being marketed appropriately and as a result, the company was unable to realize market prices for the parts. The tax impact related to the bargain purchase gain was to record a deferred tax liability and record tax expense against the bargain purchase gain of approximately
$278,000.
  The resulting net bargain purchase gain after taxes was approximately
$502,000.
 
Pro forma financial information is

Acquisition of
W
o
rthing
ton
Aviation and Parts
 
On
May 4, 2018,
Air T, Inc. completed the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Worthington Aviation and Parts (“Worthington”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of
April 6, 2018,
by and among the Company, Worthington, and Churchill Industries, Inc., as guarantor of Worthington’s obligations as disclosed in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Worthington is primarily engaged in the business of operating, distributing and selling airplane and aviation parts along with repair services. The Company agreed to acquire the assets and liabilities in exchange for payment to Worthington of
$50,000
as earnest money upon execution of the Agreement and a cash payment of
$3,300,000
upon closing. Total consideration is summarized in the table below:

Total consideration

The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic
805
"Business Combinations." Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of
May 4, 2018,
with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as a bargain purchase gain. A bargain purchase gain has been recognized by the Company due to Worthington being sold in a distressed sale, resulting in the fair value of net assets acquired exceeding consideration paid. The most significant asset acquired was Worthington’s inventory. The following table outlines the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation at the respective estimated fair values as of
May 4, 2018:

As of
September 30, 2018,
the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary. The Company’s initial accounting for this acquisition is incomplete as of the date of this report. Therefore, as permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the foregoing amounts are provisional. All relevant facts and circumstances are still being considered by management prior to finalization of the purchase price allocation.
 
The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because Worthington needed access to additional capital to maintain its operations. The seller engaged in a formal bidding process and determined Air T was the best option for Worthington. The bargain purchase gain had
no
tax impact beyond the recording of a deferred tax liability of approximately
$589,000
as part of purchase accounting. The resulting non-taxable bargain purchase gain was approximately
$1,983,000.
Total transaction costs incurred in connection with this acquisition were approximately
$83,000.
