Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company is in the process of finalizing purchase price allocations for the Akron Brass, AWG Fittings and SFC Koenig acquisitions and will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocations prior to the completion of the measurement period, as required.
