Florida Acquisition
On February 26, 2019, a subsidiary of the Company executed an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of a hot mix asphalt and ready-mix concrete business located in Okeechobee, Florida. This transaction enables the Company to serve new markets in south central Florida through an expanded geographic presence in the state. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price of $8.9 million was paid from cash on hand at closing on February 28, 2019.
The provisional allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, was determined in accordance with the methodology described under Fair Value Measurements in Note 3 to the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. The amounts allocated were not material to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchase price exceeding the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $4.0 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 this transaction, management expects to ascribe value to other identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and customer backlog, which will reduce the amount allocated to goodwill.
The results of operations since the February 28, 2019 acquisition date attributable to this acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date and were not material to the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three or six months ended March 31, 2019. Pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 2017 would not be material to the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company recorded certain costs to effect the acquisition as they were incurred, which are reflected as general and administrative expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the amount of $0.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.
The Scruggs Company
On May 15, 2018, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") to complete the acquisition of 100% of the common shares and voting interests of The Scruggs Company ("Scruggs"), which complemented the Company's vertically integrated southeastern United States operations, providing new bidding areas in the expanding Georgia market (the "Scruggs Acquisition"). This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.
The Consolidated Statements of Income include $18.4 million of revenue and $1.4 million of net income attributable to operations of Scruggs for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $34.7 million of revenue and $2.9 million of net income attributable to the operations of Scruggs for the six months ended March 31, 2019. The following presents unaudited pro forma revenues and net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 as though the Scruggs Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2016 (in thousands):

Unaudited pro forma financial information is presented as if the operations of Scruggs had been included in the consolidated results of the Company since October 1, 2016, and gives effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the Scruggs Acquisition, including adjustments to:
(a)
Include the pro forma results of operations of Scruggs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018.
(b)
Include additional depreciation and depletion expense related to the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment and quarry reserves, as applicable, as if such assets were acquired on October 1, 2016 and the Company's depreciation and depletion methodologies were consistently applied to such assets.
(c)
Include interest expense under the Compass Term Loan, defined in Note 9 - Debt, as if the $22.0 million borrowed to partially finance the purchase price was borrowed on October 1, 2016. Interest expense calculations further assume that no principal payments were made applicable to the $22.0 million borrowed during the period from October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018, and that the interest rate in effect on the date the Company made the additional $22.0 million borrowing on May 15, 2018 was in effect for the period from October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018.
Unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of revenue or net income that would have been achieved if the Scruggs Acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2016.
