Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors of John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Broadband Division of John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc. d/b/a PPC and Affiliates (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related combined statements of income, parent company equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Broadband Division of John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc. d/b/a PPC and Affiliates at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Division as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 have been derived from the Companys historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis.
7
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The combined financial statements include expense allocations for (i) certain corporate functions historically provided by the Parent, including, but not limited to, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, and shared services, (ii) employee benefits and incentives, and (iii) share-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to the Division on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount, or other measures.
Management of the Company considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Division would have incurred as an independent company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Division had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
Parent Company Investment and Allocations
Net transfers (to) from the Parent are included within parent company investment on the combined statements of parent company equity.
The components of net transfers (to) from the Parent consisted of the following at December 31:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Cash pooling and general financing activities |
$ | 4,405,793 | $ | (3,481,005 | ) | |||
|
|
|
|
|||||
Total net transfers (to) from Parent |
$ | 4,405,793 | $ | (3,481,005 | ) | |||
|
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Parent at the corporate level were specifically identifiable to the Division. As such, cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 and 2010 primarily represent cash held by local entities included in the combined financial statements. Transfers of cash to and from the Division cash management system are reflected as a component of parent company investment on the combined balance sheet.
All significant intercompany transactions between the Division and the Parent have been included in these combined financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the combined balance sheet as parent company investment.
The combined financial statements include expense allocations for (i) certain corporate functions historically provided by the Parent, including, but not limited to, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, and shared services, (ii) employee benefits and incentives, and (iii) share-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to the Division on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount, or other measures.
8
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Management of the Parent considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Division would have incurred as an independent company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Division had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposit accounts and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Division has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Division recognizes revenue, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when it is realized or realizable, which generally occurs when: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred, customer acceptance has occurred, and payment is reasonably assured.
Accounts Receivable
The Division performs credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Division maintains credit insurance for a portion of its receivables. Allowances for potential uncollectible accounts are provided based on historical experience and managements evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable in excess of insured amounts at the end of each year. If necessary, accounts are written off when all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. There were $0 and approximately $108,000 amounts reserved for as uncollectible at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Division reserves for product returns and customer incentive rebates, which were approximately $710,000 and $1,273,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of entities across the customer base and their dispersion across geographical regions. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, management of the Division does not believe that there are any significant concentrations of credit risk other than what is disclosed in Note 12.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Inventory
Inventories, which include the costs of material, labor, and overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all inventory, except the JMA connector inventory, for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventories valued under the LIFO method represent 89% and 80% of the total 2011 and 2010 inventories, respectively. The Division provides a reserve for slow-moving or potentially obsolete inventory based upon experience and movement analysis. The reserve was approximately $3,906,000 and $2,044,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Major components of inventory, net of estimated reserves for LIFO and slow-moving and potentially obsolete inventory, were as follows at December 31:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Raw materials and components |
$ | 21,276,140 | $ | 17,140,481 | ||||
Work-in-process |
105,709 | 11,330 | ||||||
Finished goods and OEM products |
20,950,860 | 21,584,844 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|||||
42,332,709 | 38,736,655 | |||||||
Less LIFO reserve |
3,457,000 | 3,344,000 | ||||||
Less reserve for slow-moving and potentially obsolete inventory |
3,905,773 | 2,043,682 | ||||||

|
|
|
|||||
Inventory, net |
$ | 34,969,936 | $ | 33,348,973 | ||||
|
|
|
|
If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used by the Division for valuing connector inventory, income from operations would have been $113,000 and $55,000 higher than reported for 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation is on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated method for income tax purposes over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The estimated useful lives of asset classes are defined below:
Estimated Life | ||||
Buildings and improvements |
7 to 40 years | |||
Machinery and equipment |
7 years | |||
Computer equipment and software |
3 to 5 years | |||
Office equipment |
7 years | |||
Vehicles |
5 years |

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Property, plant, and equipment consisted of the following at December 31:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||

$ | 293,700 | $ | 293,700 | ||||

|
|
|
|
Depreciation expense was approximately $5,387,000 and $4,846,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Division tests for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. This is accomplished by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets with their respective carrying amounts as of the date of assessment. If the expected undiscounted after tax cash flows exceed the respective carrying amount as of the date of assessment, no impairment is recognized. Should aggregate estimated future cash flows be less than the carrying value, an impairment would be recognized as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized in 2011 or 2010.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net of Accumulated Amortization
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change in a way to indicate that there has been a potential decline in the fair value of the business unit. Impairment is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of the related business unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill.
In September 2011, the FASB provided companies with the option to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entitys events and circumstances, to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required two-step impairment test. If it is more-likely-than-not that the
11
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a company would be required to perform the two-step impairment test. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Division implemented this guidance and it was used in performing managements review of the goodwill for these financial statements. There were no changes in the reporting value of goodwill due to the adoption of this pronouncement.
The Division performs its annual impairment testing in its fiscal fourth quarter. Based on the results of the Division reviews, no impairment loss was recognized in the results of operations for fiscal 2011 or 2010. Subsequent to the latest review, there have been no events or circumstances that indicate any potential impairment of the Divisions goodwill balance.
Intangible assets are comprised of intellectual property purchased as a result of the business acquisition and are reported net of accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over ten years, based on the estimated product life, using the straight-line method. The Division tests intangible assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
Goodwill and other intangible assets consisted of the following at December 31:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Goodwill |

Investments
Investments consisted primarily of investments in debt securities and were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. These investments were sold in fiscal year 2010. The unrealized gains and losses that were reported as a component of other comprehensive income within the combined statement of parent company equity were reclassified to the combined statements of income upon disposal. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in earnings.
Fair Value Measurements
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amounts of financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Long-term debt approximates its fair value due to the variability of the interest rates.
Fair Value Measurement Definition and Hierarchy
The Division follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended by ASU 2011-04, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Division has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
13
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Division in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
In January 2011, the Division entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the Divisions exposure to variability in cash flows for future interest payments due to changes in London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), which expires in December 31, 2012. This swap effectively converts the Divisions variable interest rate (LIBOR) associated with a designated $20 million portion of the long-term debt to a fixed interest rate of .99%. The Division does not apply hedge accounting for the interest rate swap. The Division uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments using a mark-to-market valuation based on mid-market data inputs to estimate the fair value. There were no changes in valuation techniques for any period presented in the accompanying combined statements of income.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Divisions determination of fair market value:

There were no changes to the fair value of the acquisition contingent consideration in fiscal year 2011.
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to achieve common fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards. The amendments primarily clarify existing fair value guidance and are not intended to change the application of existing fair value measurement guidance. However, the amendments include certain instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This guidance is effective for the periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early application is prohibited. The Division will adopt these amendments effective January 1, 2012; however, the requirements are not expected to have a material effect on the Divisions combined financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Research and Development Costs
Product and process research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include certain wages and other costs and are included in operating expenses within the combined financial statements. Research and development costs totaled approximately $3,838,000 and $3,427,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Division includes shipping and handling costs as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs totaled approximately $5,171,000 and $5,016,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Advertising
Advertising costs, which totaled approximately $44,000 and $185,000 during 2011 and 2010, respectively, are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense within the combined financial statements.
Income Taxes
JMA, Inc. has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and New York State Tax Law. Under these provisions, JMA, Inc.s taxable income and other tax attributes are included in the individual income tax returns of the Companys shareholders. State taxes for JMA, Inc. are provided in accordance with applicable state tax laws. FTO is treated as a Subchapter S subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.
Entity level taxes are calculated and paid in accordance with local tax laws. Income taxes consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related to differences between the timing of deductions of depreciation for financial reporting and tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the temporary differences reverse.
SKT BV generally has no corporate income tax liabilities associated with the operations as an international business corporation. KK is not subject to income taxes under a tax holiday expiring in 2013, the impact of the tax holiday was a tax savings of approximately $1,872,000 and $1,522,000 in 2011 and 2010 respectively. PPC China had a partial tax holiday that expired in fiscal 2010, the impact of the tax holiday was a tax savings of approximately $184,000 in 2010. Income taxes for PPC China consist of taxes currently due.
The provisions of ACS 740, Income Taxes, provide recognition criteria and a related measurement model for tax positions taken by the Division. In accordance with ASC 740, a tax position is a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more-likely-than-not (likelihood of greater than 50%),
15
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. No liability was recorded at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Divisions foreign operations are translated at exchange rates in effect at year-end. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Net gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are reported currently in other income (expense) on the combined statements of income. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and as a separate component of the combined statements of parent company equity.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Standards
New accounting standards affecting the Divisions combined financial statements not discussed elsewhere include:
In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of parent company equity. The pronouncement will be effective for our fiscal year that begins January 1, 2012 and is to be applied retrospectively. Except for presentation requirements, the Division does not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on our combined results of operations and financial condition.
3. Related-Party Transactions
Operating Leases
The Division leased certain U.S. manufacturing and administrative facilities from Mezzalingua Realty Company, LLC, an entity related through common ownership. In addition, the Division leased its administrative facilities from Molloy Road Properties, LLC, an entity related through common ownership.

5. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Arrangements
In 2002, JMA established the PPC 2002 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (SARS Plan). The SARS Plan was amended in 2011 by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) and may be terminated at the Committees discretion. The Compensation Committee determines which employees of the Company, or its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the Plan, and the awards provide the holder with a right to receive cash for the excess of the fair value of the award on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SARS. Fair value of an award is based on a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) annually. Awards granted prior to 2008 generally vest ratably over five years and are paid six years from the date of grant. Awards granted in 2009 through 2011 vest ratably over a five-year period with vesting commencing in the beginning of the third year and vesting ratably over the remaining three years.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the estimated vested portion of approximately $2,157,000 and $2,907,000, respectively, was recorded as deferred compensation in the accompanying combined balance sheets. The estimated non-vested portion of the obligation at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $349,000 and $210,000, respectively, which will be expensed over the remaining vesting period of three years. The current portion of the deferred compensation represents the Divisions expected payments based on vesting and the net calculated value of the SARS as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

6. Employee Savings Plans
Substantially all of the Divisions employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan. The Division also provides a non-qualified defined contribution plan for senior management and certain key employees. Both plans provide for the Division to match, in cash, a percentage of each employees contributions up to certain limits. The Divisions matching contribution and related expense for these plans was approximately $323,000 and $313,000 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The total amount of the non-qualified defined contribution plan liability was approximately $1,313,000 and $1,056,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in deferred compensation, net of current portion within the combined balance sheets. The offsetting assets are in company-owned life insurance policies and are included in other assets within the combined balance sheets.

On December 30, 2010, the Company on behalf of the Division entered into a Credit Agreement with its lenders that provided a $25 million Senior Security Revolving Credit Facility and a $40 million Senior Secured Term Loan.
The Revolving Facility matures on December 30, 2013, with principal due in full at maturity. There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Term Loan is payable in monthly principal installments of $476,190, plus interest with the balance due on December 30, 2013.
Restrictions on the Revolving Facility including the following: The proceeds of Advances shall be used solely for (i) working capital of the Borrower, including acquisitions of like businesses up to Fifteen Million Dollars and 00/100 ($15,000,000), and with no two acquisitions of like businesses up to $15,000,000 outstanding at any one time during the term of this Agreement; (ii) Capital Expenditures; (iii) Shareholder Payments provided they would not create a default event per the required covenant ratios; and (iv) such other legal and proper corporate purposes as are consistent with all applicable laws, the Companys certificate of incorporation and bylaws, resolutions of the Companys Board of Directors and the terms of the Credit Agreement.
18
7. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements (continued)
Borrowing under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or a base rate determined by the lenders prime rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin for borrowings is minus 1.0% for base rate borrowings and 0.8% for LIBOR borrowings. The Company nor the Division is not subject to a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. All interest is paid monthly.
All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property rights. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants related to maintaining a Leverage Ratio, Tangible Net Worth, and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
The Credit Agreement includes certain covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, the Companys ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to:
| incur any security interest or encumbrances on properties or assets; |
| pay dividends or distributions; |
| become a guarantor for the debts and obligations of others; |
| consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; and |
| make certain investments, loans, mergers, and acquisitions. |
Maturities of long-term debt are as follows for the years ending December 31:
2012 |
$ | 5,714,286 | ||
2013 |

The U.S. Company is a Subchapter S corporation so its income is taxed directly to its shareholders. Accordingly, the U.S. Company does not record any current or deferred tax expense other than non-income based state taxes.
The deferred tax liability at December 31, 2011 and 2010 relates to a foreign subsidiary that has differences between the timing of deductions for depreciation for financial reporting and tax purposes and other temporary differences.
The Company paid approximately $1,249,000 and $1,661,000 related to taxes in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $22,212,000 and $14,418,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested; accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of these earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the shareholders of the Company would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. However, the Company would be subject to any withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.

13. | Acquisition of Assets of Evolution Broadband |
On March 17, 2010, the Division completed the acquisition of certain assets of Evolution Broadband LLC and Evolution Broadband Canada (collectively, Evolution), a leading supplier of home distribution and subscriber drop systems for the North American cable and telecommunications market, for approximately $8.8 million of which approximately $7.7 million was paid at the acquisition date and approximately $0.5 million was paid in 2011. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the combined financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Division expensed acquisition related costs of approximately $0.3 million during 2010 in selling, general, and administrative expense in the combined statements of income.
The acquisition agreement contains provisions for a contingent purchase price payment based on the achievements of performance targets through 2014. The contingent purchase price payments are based on applying a percentage to gross profits that exceed a stated target for each year through 2014, with a maximum payment of $5 million. Based on the forecast of performance over this period, the fair value of this contingent purchase price was approximately $579,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This contingent liability is included in other non-current liabilities within the combined balance sheets.
Goodwill and intangible assets of approximately $5.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets consisted solely of intellectual property, valued at approximately $1.7 million with an estimated useful life of ten years.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at fair value. The value of acquired inventory was based on the expected sales price, less an allowance for direct selling costs and profits thereon. Acquired property, plant, and equipment were valued based upon the estimate of replacement cost, less an allowance for age and condition at the time of acquisition. Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities were expected to be settled at face value; therefore, face value is assumed to approximate fair value.
