This deferred payment is included in current portion of notes payable and other obligations, within the consolidated balance sheet. The acquired company is a Russian leader in fuel card systems and serves major oil clients and hundreds of independent fuel card issuers. Its technology allows issuers to share their retail network, thereby expanding the reach of their networks.

The purpose of this acquisition was to further expand the Company’s presence in the Russian fuel card marketplace. This business acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and the Russian fuel card company. The goodwill acquired with this business is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation related to this acquisition is preliminary.

During 2012, after the December 31, 2011 financial statements were issued, the Company completed a valuation of tangible and intangible assets and in connection with such valuation considered the report of an independent third party. With this valuation, the Company identified additional intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities acquired as of the acquisition date. Based on the Company’s valuation, the Company has estimated the fair values of the customer-related intangible assets, trade names and trademark assets and merchant network assets acquired as part of the acquisition of Allstar are $141.6 million, $18.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively. As a result, the carrying amount of the customer-related intangible assets, trade names and trademark assets and merchant network assets were increased by an aggregate $86.1 million during 2012, due to the identification of this information that existed at the acquisition date. In addition, the Company increased accrued liabilities acquired by $1.3 million and other liabilities acquired of $5.5 million, due to the identification of this information that existed at the acquisition date subsequent to the issuance of the December 31, 2011 financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, we have also recorded a corresponding adjustment to decrease goodwill by $62.8 million, an increase to deferred tax asset of $1.7 million and an increase to deferred tax liabilities of $19.9 million.

The Company has recast the December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet to reflect these purchase accounting adjustments. Due to the acquisition of the Allstar business occurring during December 2011, the purchase accounting adjustments recorded during 2012 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated income statement or consolidated statement of cash flows, thus the Company has not recast these statements.

Goodwill recognized is comprised primarily of expected synergies from combining the operations of the Company and Allstar. The goodwill acquired with this business is not deductible for tax purposes.

Mexican Prepaid FuelCard and Food Voucher business

In August 2011, the Company acquired all of the stock of Efectivale, a prepaid fuel card and food voucher company in Mexico. The acquired company provides fuel and food card/voucher services to businesses and governmental entities in Mexico and serves over 10,000 businesses, with over 800,000 cardholders and beneficiaries. Purchases are predominately prepaid and revenues are earned both from customers and merchants. Results from the acquired Mexico business are reported in our International segment since the date of acquisition. This business acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accordingly, the Company has not provided pro forma information relating to this acquisition. The goodwill acquired with this business is not deductible for tax purposes.
