During the second quarter of 2011, as part of the Company's combination with Eola, Parkway purchased the management contracts associated with Eola's property management business.  At the purchase date, the contracts were valued by an independent appraiser at $52.0 million.  The value of the management contracts is based on the sum of the present value of future cash flows attributable to the management contracts, in addition to the value of tax savings as a result of the amortization of intangible assets.  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded amortization expense of $867,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, on the management contracts.  Also, in conjunction with the valuation of the management company, the Company recorded $26.2 million of goodwill, a $31.0 million liability related to contingent consideration and a deferred tax liability of $14.8 million.  At September 30, 2011, the allocation of purchase price is still preliminary.
