The fair value of accounts receivable approximated book value acquired. (2) Includes $0.7 million in inventory basis step-up, which was charged to cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2018. (3) Includes $20.0 million of property, plant and equipment basis step-up. The Company incurred $1.6 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the Foam Fabricators acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The allocation of the purchase price presented above is based on management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of the assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The goodwill of $72.7 million reflects the strategic fit of Foam Fabricators in the Company's niche industrial business. Foam Fabricators was an S corporation under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, taxable income of Foam Fabricators flowed through to its stockholder. The Company and the selling shareholder have agreed to make a joint Section 338(h)(10) election which will treat the acquisition as a deemed asset purchase for United States Federal income tax purposes and accordingly the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase accounting for Foam Fabricators is preliminary and is expected to be finalized during the third quarter of 2018. The intangible assets recorded on a preliminary basis related to the Foam Fabricators acquisition are as follows (in thousands): Intangible assets Amount Estimated Useful Life Tradename $ 4,215 10 years Customer Relationships 114,127 15 years $ 118,342 The tradename was valued at $4.2 million using a relief from royalty methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent that the ownership of the asset relieves the company from the obligation of paying royalties for the benefits generated by the asset. The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $114.1 million using an excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on the other assets utilized in the business. The customer relationships intangible asset was derived using a risk adjusted discount rate. Acquisition of Rimports On February 26, 2018, the Company's Sterno subsidiary acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rimports, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Rimports”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 23, 2018, by and among Sterno and Jeffery W.

Sterno purchased a 100% controlling interest in Rimports. The purchase price, after the working capital settlement and net of transaction costs, was approximately $154.4 million , subject to any working capital adjustment. The purchase price of Rimports includes a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations of Rimports have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Rimport's results of operations are included in the Sterno operating segment. The table below provides the preliminary recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
