[1] Receivables include $13.4 million related to the secondary escrow amount, which the Company expects to recover prior to termination of the escrow agreement 36 months from the April 14, 2014 closing date. The gross amount due under customer-related receivables acquired was $22.7 million, of which $10.9 million was expected to be uncollectible.

[2] As previously reported in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

[3] The measurement period adjustments related to the resolution of income tax uncertainties and sales tax exposures, which also impacted the fair value estimates of lease merchandise and receivables related to the secondary escrow amount, subsequent to the acquisition date.

[4] Identifiable intangible assets are further disaggregated in the following table.

[5] The total goodwill recognized in conjunction with the Progressive acquisition has been assigned to the Progressive operating segment. Of the goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition, $246.0 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The primary reason the purchase price of the acquisition exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill, is related to synergistic value created from the combination of Progressive's virtual customer payment capabilities with the Company's leading traditional lease-to-own model. Goodwill also includes certain other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce.
