During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company finalized the purchase price of $1.0 million, which included an estimated contingent consideration of $0.4 million. The entire purchase price was allocated to the customer lists acquired, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company reduced its estimated contingent consideration by $0.1 million, which is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
