[1] | Other assets are comprised of a purchase accounting adjustment of $166, which represents the estimated value of the broker-dealer license. The intangible asset of $166 related to the broker-dealer license was allocated to the Capital Markets business segment
[2] | During the measurement period, which ended on January 13, 2012, an adjustment of $30 reducing the fair value of the assets acquired was made with a corresponding adjustment to increase goodwill by $30.
[3] | The purchase price represents the cash paid to Mercury of $425; the note payable to Mercury of $725; and the Company’s equity method investment immediately prior to the Star Asia Manager Repurchase Transaction. For purposes of the provisional amounts, the Company has assumed the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investment immediately prior to the Star Asia Manager Repurchase Transaction approximated fair value. As with all provisional purchase accounting amounts, this is subject to adjustment during the measurement period.
[4] | For purposes of the provisional purchase accounting, the Company determined that the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of tangible assets acquired should entirely be allocated to an intangible asset representing the value of Star Asia Manager’s investment management contract with Star Asia. The Company treated the estimated value as an intangible asset with a finite life. The Company will amortize the intangible asset using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the asset of 1.3 years. The intangible asset was allocated to the Asset Management business segment. See note 27. As with all provisional purchase accounting amounts, this is subject to adjustment during the measurement period.
[5] | Goodwill and intangible assets are allocated to the Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments as indicated in the table from above.
[6] | Goodwill recognized as of the acquisition date was allocated to the Capital Markets business segment.
