2. Acquisitions The Richardson Trident Company On March 11, 2011, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of The Richardson Trident Company ( Trident ). Trident s results of operations have been included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations since the date of acquisition.

The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was $9.2, which was allocated to goodwill.
