[1] (a) The adjustment represents the decrease in the book value of investments to their estimated fair value based on fair values on the date of acquisition.

[2] (b) The adjustment represents the write down of the book value of loans to their estimated fair value based on current interest rates and expected cash flows, which includes an estimate of expected loan loss inherent in the portfolio. Loans that met the criteria and are being accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 had a carrying amount of $13.7 million. Non-impaired loans not accounted for under 310-30 had a carrying value of $190.7 million.

[3] (c) The adjustment represents the appraised value of the land and building acquired in the acquisition. The land and building were recorded as fixed assets and the building will be amortized over its remaining useful life.

[4] (d) The adjustment is necessary because the weighted average interest rate of deposits exceeded the cost of similar funding at the time of acquisition.
