Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

In connection with the financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recorded certain purchase accounting adjustments relating to the acquisition of Enventis Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Enventis”) retrospectively to the original purchase date of October 16, 2014 based on revised data which was considered preliminary as of December 31, 2014. Under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, an acquirer during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, shall revise the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed as if that information was available as of the purchase date. The adjustments recorded to the preliminary purchase accounting for Enventis were based on finalized asset and post-retirement obligation valuations.  These valuation reports impacted the amounts recorded to goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred income taxes, pension and other post-retirement obligations and accumulated other comprehensive loss, net reported in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and the amounts reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the change in the pension and post-retirement benefit obligation.  Any impacts to the statement of operations were recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as the amounts were not considered material to the period ending December 31, 2014.

 

The following items, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Form 10-K”), that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015, have been revised, in each case, to give effect to the revised valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
