Business Acquisition

On July 23, 2013, SIFCO Industries, Inc. completed the purchase of the forging business and substantially all related operating assets from MW General, Inc. (DBA General Aluminium Forgings). The forging business is operated in General Aluminum Forgings, LLC ("GAF") Colorado Springs, Colorado facility, which is leased. The purchase price for the forging business and related operating assets and liabilities was approximately $4,400 payable in cash, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $123 received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 related to certain adjustments principally to the final working capital level and/or indemnification holdback provisions under the purchase agreement. The Company recorded net sales of $1,100 and net operating loss of $216 from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2013.

The GAF purchase transaction is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The Company has substantially completed the purchase accounting related to the GAF acquisition. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as initially reported, were based upon appraisals, other studies and additional information available at the time of the acquisition of GAF. The Company believes that such information provided a reasonable basis for determining the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and assumed, such excess was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the Company's purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
