ACQUISITIONS
In an agreement dated May 2, 2011, between Franklin Electric BV (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and Impo Motor Pompa Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Impo"), the Company acquired 80 percent of the outstanding shares of Impo, net of debt acquired plus working capital adjustments, for approximately 40.0 million Turkish lira ("TL"), $26.1 million at the then current exchange rate, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Impo, located in Izmir, Turkey, is the leading supplier of groundwater pumping equipment in Turkey. The Impo acquisition, combined with the Company's current presence in the region, will provide the Company with the leading position in the rapidly growing market for groundwater pumping systems in Turkey and throughout the Middle East. It will also provide a low cost manufacturing base for supplying the entire region.

The preliminary intangible assets of $15.3 million consist primarily of customer relationships, which will be amortized over 13 years, and trademarks. All of the goodwill was recorded as part of the Water Systems segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase agreement for Impo includes an earn-out provision payable to the sellers if certain performance criteria are achieved in any year from 2011 to 2013. Additional payments will not exceed TL 10.0 million. As of the acquisition date, the Company recorded contingent consideration of TL 8.5 million ($5.5 million) as determined by the income approach.

The preliminary purchase price assigned to each major identifiable asset and liability was as follows:

Preliminary goodwill decreased by $1.4 million in the third quarter ended October 1, 2011, due to additional information provided for the provisional valuation. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment are provisional amounts pending final valuations and purchase accounting adjustments. The Company utilized management estimates and consultation with an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in the valuation. Acquisition-related costs, primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company's statement of income, were $0.2 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2011.

The results of operations of Impo were included in the Company's consolidated statements of income from its acquisition date through the third quarter ended October 1, 2011. The difference between actual sales for the Company and proforma annual sales including Impo as if it were acquired at the beginning of 2010 was not material as a component of the Company's consolidated sales for the nine months ending October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.
