Fiscal 2017 and 2016 Purchase Price Allocations The purchase price allocation of TelCom was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Purchase price allocations of the Goodman and NextGen acquisitions were completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. The purchase price allocation of Texstar is preliminary and will be completed when valuations for intangible assets and other amounts are finalized within the 12-month measurement period from the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, the Company will recognize any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. Additionally, the Company will record, in the same period’s financial statements in which adjustments are recorded, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting adjustment had been completed at the acquisition date. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded adjustments to the fair values assigned to working capital items in connection with the purchase price allocation of the Goodman acquisition and increased the value assigned to goodwill by approximately $1.5 million, net of $1.8 million of proceeds received during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 for a working capital adjustment. The income statement impact during fiscal 2017 related to these fair value adjustments was not significant. The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid for businesses acquired in fiscal 2017 and 2016 and presents the allocation of these amounts to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the respective dates of acquisition (dollars in millions):

With respect to the acquisition from Goodman, $22.5 million of the purchase price was placed into escrow to cover indemnification claims and working capital adjustments. During fiscal 2017, $2.5 million of escrowed funds were released following resolution of closing working capital and $10.0 million of escrowed funds were released as a result of Goodman’s resolution of a sales tax liability with the State of Texas. As of July 29, 2017, $10.0 million remains in escrow pending resolution of certain post-closing indemnification claims. Results of businesses acquired during fiscal 2017, 2016, and 2015 are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The revenues and net income of TelCom, NextGen, and Texstar were not material during fiscal 2017 or 2016. The acquired operations of Goodman were immediately integrated within the operations of an existing subsidiary.
