[1] Depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation were adjusted for the fair value mark-ups of equipment acquired in the National Pump acquisition. The useful lives assigned to such equipment didn’t change significantly from the lives historically used by National Pump.
[2] The intangible assets acquired in the National Pump acquisition were amortized.
[3] In connection with the National Pump acquisition, URNA issued $525 principal amount of 6 1/8 percent Senior Notes (as an add on to our existing 6 1/8 percent Senior Notes) and $850 principal amount of 5 3/4 percent Senior Notes, and all our outstanding 9 1/4 percent Senior Notes were redeemed. Interest expense was adjusted to reflect these changes in our debt portfolio.
[4] Merger related costs, primarily comprised of financial and legal advisory fees, associated with the National Pump acquisition were eliminated as they were assumed to have been recognized prior to the pro forma acquisition date.
