American Skin Food Group, LLC

In September 2012 (fiscal 2013), we acquired a 70% controlling interest in American Skin Food Group, LLC (American Skin) for $24.2 million in cash, including post-closing adjustments for differences in American Skin's calendar 2012 earnings and working capital at closing from agreed-upon targets.

Located in Burgaw, North Carolina, American Skin manufactures and supplies pork rinds to the snack food industry. By leveraging our coordinated sales and marketing team, we believe American Skin can expand into new markets both domestically and internationally, which could substantially increase current sales of approximately $25 million and net income of approximately $3 million annually over the next five to seven years with minimal additional plant investment.

The acquisition of American Skin was accounted for in the Pork segment using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the acquiree be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests recognized as of the date of acquisition for American Skin:

	(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	0.2
Accounts receivable, net	2.0
Inventories	0.7
Property, plant and equipment, net	3.4
Intangible assets, net	12.4
Goodwill	16.4
Assets acquired	35.1
Accounts payable	0.5
Liabilities assumed	0.5
Noncontrolling interests	10.4
Purchase price	$	24.2

Intangible assets acquired include customer relationship assets, contractual rights and trademarks with fair values of $9.7 million, $2.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The customer relationship assets and contractual rights will be amortized over useful lives of 15 years and 12 years, respectively. The trademarks are not subject to amortization.

Goodwill was recognized to reflect the amount of the enterprise fair value that exceeded the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $10.5 million.

The fair value of the noncontrolling interests was measured based on market multiples for similar public companies and consideration of the terms of the acquisition, which provide the noncontrolling interest holders the right to exercise a put option, which would obligate us to redeem their interests. The redemption amount is based on a fixed multiple of earnings, which is consistent with the formula utilized in determining the purchase price for our 70% interest.
