ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS  
In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years.
Cummins Mid-South LLC
On February 14, 2014, we acquired the remaining 62.2 percent interest in Cummins Mid-South LLC (Mid-South) from the former distributor principal. The preliminary purchase consideration was $116 million, which included $32 million in cash and an additional $61 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining $23 million will be paid in future periods, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of the acquired entity were included in the Distribution operating segment subsequent to the acquisition date. As a result of this transaction, first quarter 2014 Distribution segment results included a $6 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 37.8 percent ownership interest in Mid-South to fair value in accordance with GAAP. The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Net sales for Mid-South were $368 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.
 
Cummins Northwest LLC
In January 2013, we acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Cummins Northwest LLC (Northwest) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $18 million.  We immediately formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal and sold 20.01 percent to the new distributor principal. We retained a new ownership in Northwest of 79.99 percent. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution segment subsequent to the acquisition date.  Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Northwest to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill.  Net sales for Northwest were $137 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.
In July 2013, we acquired the remaining 20.01 percent from the new distributor principal for an additional $4 million. Since the entity was already consolidated, this was accounted for as an equity transaction.
