Carous
el Acquisition, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Carousel Designs, LLC (“OLDCO”), a privately held manufacturer and online retailer of premium infant and toddler bedding and nursery décor based in Douglasville, Georgia. On
August 11, 2017,
Carousel Acquisition, LLC changed its name to Carousel Designs, LLC (“Carousel”), OLDCO having relinquished its rights to that name as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction (the “Carousel Acquisition”).
 
The Company anticipates that certain synergies
, including administrative and capital efficiencies,
may
be achieved as a result of the Company’s control of the combined assets and that the Company will benefit from the direct-to-consumer opportunities that will result from the Carousel Acquisition. Carousel paid an acquisition cost of
$8.7
million from cash on hand and assumed certain specified liabilities relating to the business. Carousel also recognized as expense
$264,000
of costs associated with the acquisition during the
six
-month period ended
October 1, 2017,
which is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
 
The Carousel Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with FA
SB ASC Topic
805,
Business Combinations.
The Company is currently determining the allocation of the acquisition cost with the assistance of an independent
third
party. The identifiable assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value, which has been preliminarily determined based on available information and the use of multiple valuation approaches. The estimated useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined based upon the remaining time that these assets are expected to directly or indirectly contribute to the future cash flow of the Company. Certain data necessary to complete the acquisition cost allocation is
not
yet available, including, but
not
limited to, the valuation of pre-acquisition contingencies and the final appraisals and valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
The
following table represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost (in thousands) to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is reflected as goodwill.

The Company expects to complete the acquisition cost allocation during the

may
need to be revised as appropriate.
 
In connection with the Carousel Acquisition, Carousel paid off capital leases amounting to
$845,000
that were associated with certain fixed assets that were acquired.
 
Based upon the preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost, the Company has recognized
$5.4
million of goodwill, the entirety of which has been assigned to the reporting unit of the Company that produces and markets infant and toddler bedding, blankets and accessories, and the entirety of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
 
The Carousel Acquisition resulted in net sales of
$1.2
million of infant and toddler bedding, blankets and accessories during the period from the acquisition date through
October 1, 2017.
During the same period, Carousel recorded amortization expense associated with the acquired amortizable intangible assets in the amount of
$52,000,
which is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Amortization is computed for the acquired amortizable intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are
15
years for the Tradename,
10
years for the Developed technology,
5
years for the non-compete agreements and
12
years on a weighted-average basis for the grouping taken together.
