Ultra Seating

On December 31, 2015, we acquired 100% of the voting and equity interest in Ultra Seating Company ("Ultra Seating") for an initial purchase price of approximately $3.8 million (subject to adjustment). Ultra Seating provides specialized seating for heavy duty and light duty commercial trucks. Ultra Seating is included in our Supply Chain Management Group and complements our Wheeler Bros., Inc. subsidiary by expanding our current supply chain markets and establishing a distribution channel to better serve mission critical vehicle fleets. We are in the process of finalizing our valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the amortization period for the intangible assets. Based on preliminary estimates, we recorded approximately $1.9 million of goodwill and approximately $1.5 million of intangible assets primarily related to customer relationships and a trade name.

The pro forma effects assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2015 were not material to the Company's total revenues, income from continuing operations and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

VSE Aviation

On January 28, 2015, we acquired 100% of the voting and equity interests of four businesses that specialize in maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services and parts supply for general aviation jet aircraft engines and engine accessories. The acquired businesses include Air Parts & Supply Co., Kansas Aviation of Independence, L.L.C., Prime Turbines LLC (including both U.S. and German-based operations), and CT Aerospace LLC (collectively, "Aviation Acquisition"). These four businesses are operating as a combined group managed by our wholly owned subsidiary VSE Aviation, Inc. ("VAI"). The Aviation Acquisition provided diversification by adding service offerings and broadening our client base.
 
We may be required under an earn-out obligation to make additional purchase price payments of up to $40 million if the acquired businesses meet certain financial targets during the first two post-closing years. Included in earn-out obligation on the March 31, 2016 balance sheet is an earn-out obligation of approximately $10.4 million, net of the current portion of approximately $8 million classified in current portion of earn-out obligation, which represents our best estimate of the present value of such earn-out obligation for both post-closing years. Interest expense and subsequent changes in the fair value of the earn-out obligations are recognized in earnings in the period of change through settlement.

The following VSE unaudited consolidated pro forma results are prepared as if the Aviation Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014.
