Acquisitions:
 
We used the acquisition method of accounting to record the below transactions in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
805,
“Business Combinations.” In accordance with the acquisition method, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values with the excess being allocated to goodwill. Factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include expected synergies and the trained workforce. The goodwill is
not
deductible for tax purposes.
