The purchase price for CVI MG, AT Films and Microfluidics has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition.

The remaining $88.4 million of acquired intangible assets consist of patents, trade names, customer relationships, non-compete and unpatented technology, which are being amortized over a life of 2-15 years. The goodwill recorded for the acquisitions reflects the strategic fit and revenue and earnings growth potential of these businesses.

The Company incurred $5.3 million of acquisition-related transaction costs in the first six months of 2011. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including certain transactions that ultimately were not completed.

In accordance with ASU 2010-29, "Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations," the following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on the Company's net sales and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, assuming that the 2011 acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2010. As a result, the pro forma net income reflects adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 to include $3.0 million and $16.4 million, respectively of pre-tax acquisition fair value inventory charges and adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to exclude $6.4 million and $11.2 million, respectively of pre-tax acquisition-related costs. The 2011 and 2010 supplemental pro forma net income are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and financing costs relating to the 2011 acquisitions.
