(4) Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. Cash consideration for our various acquisitions was primarily provided through borrowings under our credit facilities and cash equivalents on-hand. The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not presented due to the insignificant impact of the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions on our consolidated results of operations. Noteworthy 2013 acquisitions are as follows:

In May 2013, in order to further enhance our existing operations in the U.S., we acquired a storage rental and records management business in Texas with locations in Michigan, Texas and Florida, in a cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $25,000. Included in the purchase price is approximately $1,600 held in escrow to secure a post-closing working capital adjustment. The amounts held in escrow for purposes of the post-closing working capital adjustment will be distributed either to us or the former owners based on the final agreed upon post-closing working capital amount.

In June 2013, in order to further enhance our existing operations in Brazil, we acquired the stock of Archivum Comercial Ltda. and AMG Comercial Ltda., storage rental and records management businesses in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in a single transaction for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $29,000. Included in the purchase price is approximately $2,900 held in escrow to secure a post-closing working capital adjustment and the indemnification obligations of the former owners of the businesses to us.

In September 2013, in order to further enhance our existing operations in Latin America, we acquired certain entities with operations in Colombia and Peru. We acquired the stock of G4S Secure Data Solutions Colombia S.A.S. and G4S Document Delivery S.A.S (collectively, "G4S"). G4S, a storage rental and records management business with operations in Bogota, Cali, Medellin and Pereira, Colombia, was acquired in a single transaction for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $54,000, subject to post-closing working capital and net debt adjustments. We also acquired the stock of File Service S.A., a storage rental and records management business in Peru, for a purchase price of approximately $16,000, subject to post-closing working capital and net debt adjustments.

Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions completed in 2013 were based on estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment. We are not aware of any information that would indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ meaningfully from preliminary estimates. The purchase price allocations of the 2013 acquisitions are subject to finalization of the assessment of the fair value of intangible assets (primarily customer relationship assets), property, plant and equipment (primarily racking structures), leases, contingencies and income taxes (primarily deferred income taxes).
