The Company financed this transaction with available cash of approximately $129 and borrowings from our existing receivable securitization program. ASR will now be part of our Personal Care Segment. ASR provides an important strategic fit and opportunity for the Personal Care business as it competes in the value segment of the wet shave category. The Company&amp;#8217;s legacy Wet Shave product line focuses on branded wet shave products. ASR, founded in 1875, is a leading global manufacturer of private label/value wet shaving razors and blades, and industrial and specialty blades.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of March 31, 2011, the purchase price allocation for ASR acquisition was substantially complete.  We have determined the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of allocating the purchase price, in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations. For purposes of the allocation, the Company has estimated a fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of the finished goods acquired at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value adjustment for the acquired equipment was established using a cost and market approach. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets were estimated using various valuation methods including discounted cash flows using both an income and cost approach.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Estimated asset valuations and assumed liabilities may be adjusted as the final purchase price allocations are completed but any such adjustments are not expected to be material.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font

style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font
