NOTE 2. DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS

Divestitures

        In the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our exhaust business which manufactures exhaust products and select components for emission systems for a variety of applications not core to our other product offerings. This business was historically included in our Components segment. The sales price was $123 million. We recognized a gain on the sale of $68 million ($37 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $19 million. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Sales for this business were $62 million, $171 million and $126 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating results for this business were approximately $9 million, $22 million and $11 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our light-duty filtration business which manufactures light-duty automotive and industrial filtration solutions. The sales price was $90 million and included a note receivable from the buyer of approximately $1 million. There are no earnouts or other contingencies associated with the sales price. We recognized a gain on the sale of $53 million ($33 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $6 million. The gain was excluded from segment results as it was not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Sales for this business were $64 million, $74 million and $54 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating results for this business were approximately $13 million, $9 million and $2 million in 2011 (through closing), 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        The assets and liabilities associated with these businesses have not been reclassified and separately presented in the 2010 Consolidated Balance Sheet as they are immaterial. We have entered into supply and other agreements with the operations that represent ongoing involvement and as such, the results of these operations have not been presented as discontinued operations.

Acquisitions

        On January 4, 2010, we acquired the remaining 70 percent interest in Cummins Western Canada (CWC) from our former principal for consideration of approximately $71 million. We formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal where we own 80 percent of CWC and the new distributor principal owns 20 percent. The acquisition was effective on January 1, 2010. The $71 million of consideration consisted of:

        The purchase price was approximately $97 million as presented below. The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to three years. The acquisition of CWC was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity and the goodwill included in the Distribution operating segment as of the acquisition date. Distribution segment results also include a $12 million gain in 2010, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 30 percent ownership interest in CWC to fair value in accordance with GAAP. Net sales for CWC were $390 million and $272 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were approximately two percent of our consolidated sales for both years.

        The purchase price was allocated as follows:

        We provided a loan to our partner of approximately $8 million to fund the purchase of his 20 percent interest. The purchase transaction resulted in $8 million of noncontrolling interest (representing our partner's 20 percent interest) which was completely offset by the $8 million receivable from our partner, reducing the noncontrolling interest impact to zero as of the acquisition date. The interest-bearing loan is expected to be repaid over a period of three to five years. The partner also has periodic options to purchase an additional 10 to 15 percent interest in CWC up to a maximum of an additional 30 percent (total ownership not to exceed 50 percent).

        In November 2010, we purchased a majority interest in a previously independent North American distributorship. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and resulted in an aggregate purchase price of $27 million. The assets of the acquired business were primarily accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The transaction generated $1 million of goodwill.
