5. Acquisitions
Acquisition of additional shares of Graphit Kropfmühl
On December 22, 2010 the Company acquired additional
shares in Graphit Kropfmühl. The acquisition of shares
caused the ownership percentage to increase from
79.5% to 88.0%. The Company chose to measure the noncontrolling
interest (”NCI”) at its proportionate share of
the recognized amount of the GK’s net identifiable assets
at the acquisition date. This methodology is allowed as per
IFRS 3R.19. Upon obtaining additional ownership interests,
no additional goodwill was recognized and the transaction
was measured as an equity transaction.
The following is the calculation of the equity transaction:
Non-controlling interest at December 22, 2010 4,502
Transfer to AMG (8.5%) 1,861
12% interest carried forward 2,641
Adjustment to equity:
Fair value of consideration 1 6,431
Change to NCI (as per above) 1,861
Dilution in AMG equity from purchase of NCI 4,570
1 calculated as 575,529 AMG shares issued * 18.50 per share
94 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Acquisition of solar silicon cast technology
On December 20, 2010, the Company acquired intellectual
property and manufacturing assets related to the
Mono2 suite of solar casting technologies from BP Solar
for $4,000. In addition to acquiring intellectual property
and equipment, an experienced team of scientists and
engineers with significant expertise in silicon casting
were transferred to AMG. AMG will continue research and
development activities, using manufacturing operations
at the BP Solar facility in Frederick, Maryland USA. This
acquisition does not qualify as a business combination
since operational assets and intellectual property were
acquired rather than an existing business. Therefore, this
purchase is being accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The purchase price was allocated as follows based on the
relative fair values at the date of purchase:

3,600
Inventory 300
Patents 100
Total acquired 4,000
