Acquisitions [Abstract]

2.	Acquisitions

As more fully discussed in the 2011 10-K, the Company acquired a controlling interest in National Beef Packing Company, LLC ("National Beef") in December 2011. Unaudited pro forma operating results for the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2010 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Revenues and other income		$	1,936,880
Net income attributable to Leucadia National Corporation
common shareholders		$	36,202
Basic earnings per common share attributable to Leucadia National
Corporation common shareholders		$	.15
Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Leucadia National
Corporation common shareholders		$	.15

Pro forma adjustments principally reflect an increase to depreciation and amortization expenses related to the fair value of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma data is not indicative of future results of operations or what would have resulted if the acquisition had actually occurred as of January 1, 2010.

Tabular disclosure of a material business combination completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. This table does not include leveraged buyouts.
