2. Acquisition

On May 20, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of OE Plus, Ltd. (“OE Plus”), a privately held remanufacturer of alternators and starters based in North Dighton, Massachusetts. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated May 15, 2015 for an initial cash purchase price of $3,200,000, including $1,000,000 which is being held in escrow to be paid to the former owners of OE Plus, subject to certain working capital adjustments. In addition, the Company is contingently obligated to make additional payments to the former owners of OE Plus up to $2,000,000 over the next four years. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation as of the acquisition date was $1,320,000 and was determined using an option based pricing model. The assets and results of operations of OE Plus were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and thus pro forma information is not presented.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made preliminary working capital adjustments of approximately $500,000 which resulted in adjustments to finite-lived intangible assets for trademarks with an estimated useful life of 10 years to $520,000 from $635,000 and finite-lived intangible assets for customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 8 years to $2,100,000 from $2,690,000 resulting in a corresponding increase in goodwill to $2,552,000 from $1,847,000. The goodwill recognized will be further adjusted once the working capital adjustments are final and the escrow settlement is completed. There was no material effect on previous-period or current-period earnings as a result of these adjustments.
 
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present. The Company performs the annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
