Goodwill represents the original goodwill allocation related to the Merger and final adjustments to purchase price allocations during the measurement period and the original goodwill allocations related to the Montana Acquisitions. The impact of the final purchase price allocation adjustments related to the Merger on the Company's results of operations and financial position was immaterial. The Company may continue to record adjustments to the carrying value of assets acquired with a corresponding offset to goodwill during the measurement period related to the Montana Acquisitions, which can be up to one year from the date of the consummation of the acquisitions. See Note 3, Merger and Acquisitions, for a description of the intangible assets acquired through the Merger and the Montana Acquisitions.
