On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Hargis Industries, LP doing business as ST Fastening Systems ("STFS") and other related parties pursuant to which Hillman acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain liabilities, of STFS. STFS, which is located in Tyler, Texas, specializes in manufacturing and distributing threaded self-drilling fasteners, foam closure strips, and other accessories to the steel-frame, post-frame, and residential building markets. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Hillman paid a cash purchase price of $47.2 million. The transaction was financed with additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The STFS business is included in the Company’s United States reportable segment.
The following table reconciles the preliminary estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to the total purchase price of the STFS acquisition:

The excess of the purchase price over the net assets has been allocated to goodwill and intangibles based on an independent valuation appraisal. The customer relationships have been assigned a useful life of 13 years based on the limited turnover and long-standing relationships STFS has with its existing customer base. The acquired customer relationships were valued using the discounted cash flow approach, and significant assumptions used in the valuation included the customer attrition rate assumed and the expected level of future sales.
The amount of net sales and operating loss of the acquired business included in the Company's consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 30, 2017 were approximately $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Unaudited pro forma financial information has not been presented for STFS as the financial results of STFS were insignificant to the financial results of the Company on a standalone basis.
