Acquisitions. On May 15, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Apex Systems, Inc., a privately-owned provider of information technology staffing services headquartered in Richmond, Virginia (Apex). The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company's information technology staffing services. The purchase price totaled approximately $610.8 million, comprised of $385.3 million paid in cash and issuance of 14.3 million shares of common stock of the Company. Acquisition costs were approximately $9.8 million and were expensed in 2012. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of Apex have been combined with those of the Company since the acquisition date.

Assets and liabilities of the acquired companies were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow method. The Company's allocation of the purchase price for Apex has been finalized, except for the pre-acquisition contingencies and income taxes related to the acquisition. Any material measurement period adjustments will be recorded retrospectively to the acquisition date.
