In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 should not be viewed as indicative of the Company's annual results or the Company's results for any other period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been restated to reflect immaterial measurement period adjustments related to the applicable 2013 Acquisitions. There were no operating activities related to either of the 2013 Acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company's condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include the operating results of the 2013 Acquisitions for the entire period. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Recent accounting pronouncements adopted during the first three months of 2014 are as follows: Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU No. 2013-11") ASU No. 2013-11 provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB's objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. The guidance in ASU No. 2013-11 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
