("Crestmark") and its bank subsidiary, Crestmark Bank, on August 1, 2018 for a purchase price of $295.8 million paid by issuance of 9,919,512 shares of Meta common stock. The initial accounting for certain liabilities and goodwill were incomplete and the amounts recorded were considered provisional. The Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments as disclosed below during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The amount of goodwill recorded remains provisional, as well as the other assets and liabilities noted in the table below, as more information becomes available related to DC Solar. The measurement period remains open for the Crestmark acquisition until August 1, 2019. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to net assets of Crestmark as of the August 1, 2018 acquisition date.

Measurement Period Adjustments and Impairment - DC Solar
The Company previously purchased a portfolio of mobile solar generators ("MSGs") from DC Solar Solutions, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, a relationship in the Company's solar leasing business, and, in turn, leased the MSGs to DC Solar Distribution, Inc., an affiliate of DC Solar Solutions. During the second fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company became aware that the DC Solar entities and their affiliates filed for bankruptcy and the entities, including their principals, are subjects of ongoing federal investigations involving allegations of fraudulent misconduct. The Company had three separate operating leases with DC Solar - two of the transactions were included in the acquired Crestmark balances on August 1, 2018. The third transaction was originated in August 2018 after the Crestmark acquisition date. The Company considered the bankruptcy filing and fraud allegations as new facts and circumstances and concluded the alleged fraud existed at the acquisition date for the acquired DC Solar transactions. As a result, the identified impairment for the acquired DC Solar transactions and other related adjustments were recorded as measurement period adjustments to the acquired assets and liability amounts recognized and were offset through provisional goodwill. The impairment and related adjustments for the DC Solar transaction originated post-acquisition are reflected in current earnings.
The Company continues to gather information about the situation and, as of the date of this filing, has identified and located 175 of 176 of the underlying assets, however the timing and extent to which the Company will be able to recover and re-lease the underlying assets remains uncertain, due in part to claims by third parties as to their potential interests in the underlying assets. The adjustments to goodwill and impairment recognized for the DC Solar events reflect the Company's best estimate of the potential loss incurred, based on the Company's present understanding of the relevant facts. Assumptions utilized in the estimate included recoverability of the MSGs and the Company's ability to re-lease them, contractual rents, and residual values. As new facts and circumstances become available, the Company will assess any remaining exposure with respect to these DC Solar matters to determine whether additional adjustments to goodwill and/or impairment loss is necessary. As long as the required criteria under GAAP are met, the Company will continue to account for adjustments to the acquired DC Solar transactions as adjustments to goodwill until the measurement period closes, which will not extend beyond August 1, 2019.
The table below reflects the net impact of the foregoing DC Solar matters, based upon the Company's present understanding of the relevant facts and circumstances, to the Company's financial statements at March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
