SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective March 1, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Alpha Mechanical, Inc. (“Alpha”), a mechanical service firm specializing in HVAC, plumbing, retrofitting, and controls in commercial and industrial buildings, for a cash purchase price of $12.3 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition closed on March 4, 2014 and will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The accounting for this acquisition was incomplete at the time the Financial Statements were issued. Accordingly, it is impracticable for us to make certain business combination disclosures such as the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets or liabilities arising from contingencies, the amount of goodwill, and intangibles acquired.
