(1) 
Property, plant and equipment fair value measurements were prepared by utilizing a combined fair market value and cost approach. The market approach relies on comparability of assets using market data information. The cost approach places emphasis on the physical components and characteristics of the asset. It places reliance on estimated replacement cost, depreciation and economic obsolescence.
(2) 
Identifiable intangible assets were measured using a combination of income approaches. Trade names were valued using a "Relief-from-Royalty" method. Contractual and non-contractual customer relationships were valued using a "Multi-period excess earnings" method. Identifiable intangible assets will be amortized over 4-10 years.
(3) 
Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is attributable to assembled workforces and future profitability based on the synergies expected to arise from the acquired entities.

Acquisition of Lantern Rigs
On January 29, 2014, Bison acquired five drilling rigs (“Rigs”) directly from the financial institutions that leased the Rigs to the previous owner, Lantern Drilling Company (“Lantern”). The Company has treated the acquisition of these assets as a business combination because the assets included a workforce and contract arrangements. The acquisition of these Rigs enhanced the Company's contract land and directional drilling segment. At the date of acquisition, the five rigs were valued at $47,225,000. The assets are classified in property, plant and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. After tax the total cash consideration paid for the assets was $50,557,053. The outflow of cash is presented in purchases of property and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
