Note 2.     Acquisitions

 

The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for as purchases in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, as amended.  Tangible assets and liabilities, based on preliminary purchase price allocations for 2012 acquisitions, were adjusted to fair values at acquisition date with the remainder of the purchase price, if any, recorded as goodwill.  The identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of these acquisitions are not material.  Operating results of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition and are not significant to the Company’s consolidated operating results.

 

2012 Acquisitions

 

During 2012, the Company made nine acquisitions for a total cost of $241 million in cash and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions.  The net cash purchase price for these nine acquisitions of $241 million was preliminarily allocated to working capital, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, other long-term assets, and long-term liabilities for $(12) million, $199 million, $51 million, $6 million, and $3 million, respectively. There was no single material acquisition during the year.


 

2011 Acquisitions

 

During 2011, the Company made four acquisitions for a total cost of $218 million in cash and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions.  The net cash purchase price for these four acquisitions of $218 million plus the acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest the Company previously held in Golden Peanut was allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, other long-term assets, and long-term liabilities for $113 million, $235 million, $63 million, $11 million, and $36 million, respectively.  The finalization of the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions did not result in material adjustments.

 

The acquisition of Alimenta (USA), Inc., the Company’s former 50 percent partner in Golden Peanut, was the only significant acquisition during fiscal year 2011.  This transaction resulted in the Company obtaining control of the remaining outstanding shares of Golden Peanut, the largest U.S. handler, processor and exporter of peanuts and operator of one facility in Argentina.  This business fits well with the Company’s existing U.S. oilseed and export operations in its global oilseed business.  A pre-tax gain of $71 million was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 as a result of revaluing the Company’s previously held investment in Golden Peanut in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent.

 

2010 Acquisitions

 

During 2010, the Company acquired two businesses for a total cost of $62 million in cash.  The purchase price of $62 million was allocated to current assets, property, plant and equipment, and goodwill for $2 million, $57 million, and $3 million, respectively.
