Business Acquisitions Business Acquisitions
On March 7, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Southern Asphalt, Inc., an asphalt paving company headquartered in Burgaw, North Carolina. The transaction provides access to the Wilmington, North Carolina metro area market. On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of GAC Contractors, Inc., an asphalt paving, grading and sitework company headquartered in Panama City, Florida. The transaction enhances the Company's operational resources and capabilities in the growing Panama City, Florida market area.
On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of King Asphalt, Inc., a HMA production and paving company headquartered in Liberty, South Carolina. The transaction established the Company's first platform company in South Carolina and added three HMA plants in the Greenville, South Carolina metro area. On October 18, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of J. Miller Construction Inc., a grading and site work company headquartered in Pensacola, Florida. The transaction enhanced the Company’s vertical integration of construction services and supplemented the Company’s capabilities in the greater Pensacola, Florida market area.
These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 Business Combinations ("ASC"). The Company consulted with independent third parties to assist in the valuation process. The Company expects to finalize these values as soon as practicable and no later than one year from the acquisition date. Identifiable tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values based on the methodology described under "Fair Value Measurements" in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies. The amount of the purchase price exceeding the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as provisional goodwill in the amount of approximately $46.4 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill primarily represents the assembled work force and synergies expected to result from the acquisition. Upon finalizing the accounting for these transactions, management expects to ascribe value to other identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and customer backlog, which will reduce the provisional amount allocated to goodwill.
Total consideration for these four acquisitions was $104.7 million, of which $104.1 million has been paid with cash as of March 31, 2022. These acquisitions were funded with borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The total consideration has been provisionally allocated as follows: $1.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $8.9 million of contracts receivable including retainage, net, $0.1 million of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, $2.0 million of inventory, $0.5 million of prepaid expenses and other current assets, $2.8 million of accounts payable, $0.4 million of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, $1.2 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities, $50.0 million of property, plant and equipment and $46.4 million of goodwill.
