Acquisition of Advance Chemical Solutions, Inc.: On October 1, 2013, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Advance Chemical Solutions, Inc. (“ACS”), under the terms of an asset purchase agreement with ACS and its shareholders. We paid $2.4 million in cash, and may be obligated to pay an aggregate of $0.5 million in additional consideration to ACS over the next three years based on the achievement of certain financial performance targets.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, under which the total estimated purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of ACS acquired in connection with the acquisition, based on their estimated fair values. We estimated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be $2.8 million using a discounted cash flow analysis (income approach).

ACS had revenues of approximately $4 million for the 12 months ended September 30, 2013. The results of its operations since the acquisition date are included in our Water Treatment segment.
