ACQUISITIONS
On June 9, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc. and RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI". RBI is among the largest greenhouse manufacturers in North America and has also established itself during the past five years among North America’s fastest-growing providers of photovoltaic solar racking solutions.

RBI designs and manufactures greenhouses for commercial, institutional and retail customers as well as designs, engineers, manufactures and installs solar racking systems for utility ground mounts, carports and residential rooftops. The acquisition of RBI will enable the Company to leverage its expertise in structural metals manufacturing and materials sourcing to help meet the fast-growing global demand for solar racking solutions. The results of RBI have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition. As of the filing of this report, the Company continues to reassess its reporting segments. As such, the Company has disclosed in footnote 16 the RBI operating segment separately for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition of RBI was approximately $142,690,000 as of June 30, 2015, net of a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments included in the stock purchase agreement of approximately $8,372,000 which the Company expects to remit during the third quarter of 2015.

The purchase price for the acquisition was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The excess consideration of $56,975,000, was recorded as goodwill of which $38,626,000 is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the building products markets.

In September 2013, the Company purchased the assets of a domestic designer and distributor of solar-powered roof and attic ventilation products. The results of this acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition (included in the Company’s Residential Products segment). The fair value of the aggregate purchase consideration for the assets acquired was $7,454,000. As part of the purchase agreement, the Company is required to pay additional consideration under an earn-out provision, based on the acquired business’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes Depreciation and Amortization) through the last day of the twenty-fourth month following the closing date of the acquisition. The Company expects to make payments of additional consideration through the end of 2015. The purchase agreement does not provide for a limit of the amount of additional consideration. The Company recorded a payable of $2,322,000 to reflect the fair value of the Company’s obligation at the date of the acquisition. Adjustments to this payable are and will be reflected in the Company’s Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Company’s obligation was $61,000 as of June 30, 2015, which resulted in a $252,000 and a $480,000 gain recorded in SG&A during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company also recorded $4,000 and $8,000 to interest expense for this obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and totaled $2,466,000, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the building products markets.
