Note 2: Acquisitions

In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired the assets of La-Z Recliner Shops, Inc., an independent operator of nine La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and one distribution center in the southern Ohio market, for $17.4 million comprised of cash and the forgiveness of accounts payable. The nine stores were included in our Retail segment results upon acquisition.

Prior to this acquisition, we had licensed the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in the southern Ohio market to La-Z Recliner Shops, Inc. The effective settlement of this arrangement resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market value. As a result of the acquisition we have reacquired the right (a part of which relates to the use of associated trademarks and trade name in southern Ohio) to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in the southern Ohio market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $2.2 million related to this reacquired right. We also recognized $12.8 million of goodwill, which represents the purchase price in excess of the net assets acquired. The goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded in the Retail segment and will be amortized and deducted for federal income tax purposes over 15 years.

The purchase price allocations were based on fair values at the date of acquisition and are summarized in the following table:

	As of
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/1/12
Current assets	$	4,260
Goodwill		12,837
Other intangible assets		2,145
Property, plant, and equipment, net		336
Total assets acquired		19,578
Current liabilities		(2,199	)
Net assets acquired	$	17,379

The impact of this acquisition on our results of operations was not material, and as such, pro forma financial information is not presented.
