Agrinos was acquired out of bankruptcy. This provided the Company with an opportunity to acquire Agrinos at an advantageous purchase price which was below the fair value of Agrinos’ net assets acquired, resulting in the above-mentioned bargain purchase gain. The liabilities assumed include liabilities of $407 related to income tax matters.

On October 8, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding stock of AgNova Technologies Pty Ltd (“AgNova”).

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed three acquisitions:

On January 10, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of stock of two affiliated businesses, Agrovant and Defensive (subsequently merged to form AMVAC 3p), which are located in Jaboticabal in the state of Sao Paul, Brazil. At closing the Company paid cash consideration of $20,679, which was net of cash acquired of $981, deferred consideration of $3,051 including contingent consideration dependent on certain financial results for 2019, and liabilities assumed of $18,160, including liabilities of $9,111 related to income tax matters. These companies were founded in 2000 and are suppliers of crop protection products and micronutrients with focus on the fruit and vegetable market segments. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the total asset value of $41,890 was allocated as follows: trade name $1,010, customer relationships $5,705, goodwill $22,652, working capital and fixed assets $9,139 and indemnification assets $3,384. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in our consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, subject to merging AMVAC do Brasil with AMVAC 3p.

The two other acquisitions completed in 2019 related to product lines which were purchased for a total cash consideration at closing of $17,307, including transaction costs of $14. In addition, the Company assumed liabilities in the amount of $1,707. These acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions because the Company did not acquire any substantive processes. The acquired assets consist of product rights $13,279, trade names $4,442, and inventory $1,293.

Cash paid at closing for the asset acquisitions and business combinations was funded through our revolving line of credit. Pro-forma financial information is not included herein as the pro-forma impact of the acquisitions is not material.
