NOTE 3.  ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

In April 2012, we reached an agreement to acquire the doser technology and business assets from Hilite Germany GmbH (Hilite) in a cash transaction.  Dosers are products that enable compliance with emission standards in certain aftertreatment systems and complement our current product offerings.  The transaction was approved by German regulators in June and closed on July 18, 2012.  The purchase price was $176 million and is summarized below.  There was no contingent consideration associated with this transaction.  During the first nine months of 2012 we expensed approximately $4 million of acquisition related costs.

The acquisition of Hilite was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity and the goodwill included in the Components operating segment in the third quarter of 2012.  The majority of the purchase price was allocated to technology and customer related intangible assets and goodwill, most of which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.  We expect the Hilite acquisition to strengthen our aftertreatment product offerings.  This acquisition enhances our technical capabilities and keeps us in a strong position to meet the needs of current customers and grow into new markets, especially as an increasing number of regions around the world adopt tougher emission standards.

Intangible assets by asset class, including weighted average amortization life, are as follows:

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Net sales for Hilite were $77 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.

In July 2012, we acquired an additional 45 percent interest in Cummins Central Power from the former principal for consideration of approximately $20 million.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution operating segment in the third quarter of 2012.  Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 35 percent ownership interest in Cummins Central Power to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  Net sales for Cummins Central Power were $209 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.

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 of $68 million ($37 million after-tax), which included a goodwill allocation of $19 million.  In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded an additional $6 million gain ($4 million after-tax) related to final purchase price adjustments for our 2011 divestitures.  The gains have been excluded from segment results as they were not considered in our evaluation of operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 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.
