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. In each acquisition we recorded a gain related to the remeasurement of our existing ownership interest to fair value in accordance with GAAP. We believe the price paid to the former principal is representative of fair value. As such, we valued our existing ownership interest by applying the price paid to the former principal to our existing ownership on a relative basis. The amount paid to the former principal is determined in accordance with a pre-existing agreement that attempts to value the business on a fair value basis. Gains recognized in the remeasurement are included in other income (expense), in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The following is a summary of the acquisition activity for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013.
Cummins Eastern Canada LP
On August 4, 2014, we acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Cummins Eastern Canada LP (Eastern Canada) from the former distributor principal. The preliminary purchase consideration was $62 million, which included $22 million in cash and an additional $32 million to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining $8 million will be paid in future periods. The intangible assets are primarily customer related, the majority of which will be amortized within one year 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, third quarter 2014 Distribution segment results included an $18 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Eastern Canada to fair value in accordance with GAAP. The transaction generated $5 million of goodwill based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Net sales for Eastern Canada were $228 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 Power Systems LLC
On May 5, 2014, we acquired the remaining 30 percent interest in Cummins Power Systems LLC (Power Systems) from the former distributor principal for consideration of approximately $14 million in cash. The entity was previously consolidated and, as a result, the acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction instead of a business combination.
Cummins Southern Plains LLC
On March 31, 2014, we acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Cummins Southern Plains LLC (Southern Plains) from the former distributor principal. The purchase consideration was $92 million as presented below, which included $42 million in cash and an additional $48 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt as of September 28, 2014. The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to five years. 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, second quarter 2014 Distribution segment results included a $13 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Southern Plains to fair value in accordance with GAAP. The transaction generated less than $1 million of goodwill. Net sales for Southern Plains were $433 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 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 purchase consideration was $118 million as presented below, which included $32 million in cash paid in the first quarter along with an additional $61 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. As of September 28, 2014, an additional $23 million had been paid. The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to five years. 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. In the second quarter of 2014, we recognized an additional $1 million gain as the result of the final valuation. The transaction generated $4 million of goodwill. 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 Rocky Mountain LLC
In May 2013, we acquired the remaining 67 percent interest in Cummins Rocky Mountain LLC (Rocky Mountain) from the former distributor principal for consideration of approximately $62 million in cash and an additional $74 million in cash paid to creditors to eliminate all debt related to the entity. The purchase price was approximately $136 million as presented below.  The intangible assets are primarily customer related and are being amortized over periods ranging from one to four years. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution operating segment subsequent to the acquisition date. Distribution segment results also included a $5 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 33 percent ownership interest in Rocky Mountain to fair value in accordance with GAAP. Net sales for Rocky Mountain were $384 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.

Cummins Northwest LLC
In January 2013, we acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Cummins Northwest LLC (Northwest) from the former distributor 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, the acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction instead of a business combination.
