During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Partnership acquired three heating oil and propane dealers for an aggregate $6.3 million in cash. The operating results of these three acquisitions have been included in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition, and are not material to the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are comprised primarily of intangibles and certain working capital items, which are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011, and are pending final valuation within the permitted measurement period.
