He gave the details on the acquisitions that are unattractive and the potential business transactions that collapsed leaving the conglomerates in a critical situation.

Buffett, 87-year-old has taken a while before writing on the acquisitions or his own businesses including Berkshire after facing stiff competition from other strategic acquirers who are more than willing to pay for the business growth opportunities available that Berkshire itself could not afford.

The terms of the agreement were never disclosed but the business makes more than $20 billion in sales.
