The acquisitions disclosed above, with the exception of EnviroCare, are subject to final adjustment, primarily for the valuation of intangible assets pending final valuation results for such assets and tax balances for the further assessment of the acquiree’s tax positions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These changes could result in material variances in the Company's future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition and integration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents the Company’s results of operations as if these acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year prior to the acquisition. The pro forma results have been prepared for informational purposes only and include adjustments to amortize acquired intangible assets with finite lives, depreciate acquired property, plant, and equipment, reflect additional interest expense on debt used to fund the acquisition, and record the income tax consequences of these pro forma adjustments.
