6. ACQUISITIONS
General 
The Company completed four acquisitions in the first quarter of 2021 (the "2021 Acquisitions"). For the first quarter ended March 28, 2021, net sales included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income related to the 2021 Acquisitions were $5.4 million and operating income was immaterial. Acquisition-related costs associated with the businesses acquired in the first quarter of 2021 were immaterial. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the individual acquisitions were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition. For each acquisition, the Company completes its allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities within the one year measurement period. The Company completed three acquisitions in the first quarter of 2020. Net sales and operating income included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income related to the 2020 Acquisitions in the first quarter ended March 29, 2020 were immaterial.
For each acquisition, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which generally represents the combined value of the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the acquired companies’ respective management teams to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth and net income.
In connection with certain acquisitions, if certain financial targets for the acquired businesses are achieved, the Company is required to pay additional cash consideration. The Company records a liability for the fair value of the contingent consideration related to each of these acquisitions as part of the initial purchase price based on the present value of the expected future cash flows and the probability of future payments at the date of acquisition. As of March 28, 2021, the aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $6.9 million, $3.3 million of which is included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" and $3.6 million is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of the estimated contingent consideration payments was $6.9 million, $1.6 million of which was included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" and $5.3 million was included in "Other long-term liabilities". The liabilities for contingent
consideration expire at various dates through December 2023. The contingent consideration arrangements are subject to a maximum payment amount of up to $14.5 million in the aggregate. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company made no cash payments related to contingent consideration liabilities.
2021 Acquisitions
The Company completed the following previously announced acquisition in the three months ended March 28, 2021:

Inclusive of three immaterial acquisitions not discussed above, total cash consideration for the 2021 Acquisitions was approximately $29.5 million. The preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to valuation activities being finalized, and thus all required purchase accounting adjustments are subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes its estimates. Changes to preliminary purchase accounting estimates recorded in the first quarter ended March 28, 2021 related to the 2021 Acquisitions were immaterial.

Inclusive of four immaterial acquisitions not discussed above, total cash consideration for the 2020 Acquisitions was approximately $306.4 million, plus contingent consideration over a one to three-year period based on future performance in connection with certain acquisitions. One acquisition in 2020 accounted for $129.7 million of cash consideration, $49.3 million of fixed assets, $49.1 million of intangible assets and $32.6 million of goodwill. The measurement periods for Maple City Woodworking Corporation and SEI Manufacturing, Inc. have closed. Preliminary purchase price allocations on the remainder are substantially complete, pending valuation activities being finalized on fixed assets in connection with certain acquisitions. All required purchase accounting adjustments are subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes its estimates. Changes to preliminary purchase accounting estimates recorded in the first quarter ended March 28, 2021 related to the 2020 Acquisitions were immaterial and relate primarily to the valuation of intangible assets.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition for the 2021 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions:

(1) Certain acquisitions contain working capital holdbacks which are typically settled in a 90-day period following the close of the acquisition. This value represents the remaining amounts due to (from) sellers as of March 28, 2021.
(2) These amounts reflect the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration based on future performance relating to certain acquisitions.
(3) Goodwill is tax-deductible for the 2021 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions, except Front Range Stone (approximately $10.1 million).

We estimate the value of acquired property, plant, and equipment using a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches, such as estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the acquired businesses.
The following table presents our estimates of identifiable intangible assets for the 2021 Acquisitions and the 2020 Acquisitions:
(thousands, except year info) Estimated Useful Life (in years) 2021 Acquisitions 2020 Acquisitions
Customer relationships 10 $ 9,597  $ 99,897 
Non-compete agreements 5 393  1,150 
Patents 10   6,470 
Trademarks Indefinite 1,945  23,464 
$ 11,935  $ 130,981 
We estimate the value of customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation on the income approach, calculating the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset. Non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a variation of an income approach, with and without the individual counterparties to the non-compete agreements. Trademarks are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value.
