2013 Acquisitions

On March 18, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of FTL Seals Technology, Ltd (“FTL”). FTL specializes in the design and application of high integrity rotary seals, specialty bearings, and other custom products for the oil & gas, mining, power generation, and marine markets. Located in Leeds, England, FTL has annual revenues of approximately $22.5 million (£15.0 million). FTL, along with Precision Polymer Engineering (“PPE”), operates within the Health & Science Technologies segment as part of the Sealing Solutions group (formerly the Containment group) and will expand the range of PPE’s technology expertise and markets served. FTL was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $34.5 million (£23.1 million) in cash. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $18.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The $18.0 million of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price for FTL has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations, as of the acquisition date, which will be adjusted as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the business become known. Accordingly, management has used its best estimate in the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of these financial statements.

The allocation of the acquisition costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values, is as follows:



(In thousands)
Accounts receivable	$	3,454
Inventory	4,524
Other current assets, net of cash acquired	131
Property, plant and equipment	1,357
Goodwill	17,994
Intangible assets	13,016
Total assets acquired	40,476
Total liabilities assumed	(5,939		)
Net assets acquired	$	34,537

Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, non-compete agreements, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business.

The acquired intangible assets and weighted average amortization periods are as follows:



(In thousands)	Total		Weighted Average Life
Trade names	$	1,005	15

The Company paid $3.8 million in April 2013 for settlement of the 2012 contingent consideration.
