Business Combinations Business Combinations
On May 4, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Mercedes Premier Homes, LLC (also known as Vintage Estate Homes, LLC, or “Vintage”), a Florida- and Texas-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $54.6 million. In addition, we assumed $32.1 million of debt, of which we paid down $3.8 million in connection with the acquisition. The total assets of Vintage included approximately 20 development projects and 1,800 lots in various stages of development.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisitions of Vintage and Garrett Walker Homes ("GWH") were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisitions to reflect the purchase price paid.
Acquired inventories consist of land, land deposits, and work in process inventories. The Company determined the estimate of fair value for acquired land inventory using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate were future development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products, as well as average selling price ("ASP"), and absorption rates. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a profit margin that a market participant would require to complete the remaining production and requisite selling efforts. On the acquisition date, the stage of production for each lot ranged from recently started lots to fully completed homes. The intangible asset acquired relates to the Vintage trade name, which is estimated to have a fair value of $1.6 million and is being amortized over one year. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and relates primarily to the assembled workforce. Goodwill of $3.8 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of this transaction and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The acquired goodwill is included in the Florida reporting segment in Note 13, Segment Reporting. The Company incurred transaction related costs of $0.3 million and $0.8 million related to the Vintage acquisition in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The Company's results of operations include homebuilding revenues from the Vintage acquisition of $38.6 million and $75.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations before tax also includes a loss of $0.1 million and income of $1.2 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, inclusive of purchase price accounting and an allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses.
The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).
