Goodwill acquired during the year ended December 31, 2012 was due primarily to the acquisition of Sunquest. The reclassifications and other are due primarily to an immaterial correction of tax adjustments for iTrade, acquired in 2010. This adjustment only impacts goodwill and had no impact on debt covenants.
