The resulting goodwill is not amortizable for tax purposes.

(1) Accounts receivable is gross contractual value. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated carrying value.

The amount of net sales and operating income included in the Company's actual consolidated results of operations from the acquisition of Alcan Cable China were $6.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Company has not yet finalized portions of the valuation of tangible and intangible property and certain deferred tax assets and liabilities for the aforementioned acquisitions; however, the impact of any subsequent adjustments is expected to be immaterial to the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Venezuelan government announced the official exchange rate of its currency would be adjusted from 4.3 BsF per U.S. dollar to 6.3 BsF per U.S. dollar, effective February 13, 2013. In addition, Venezuelan officials announced that they would be discontinuing the SITME system. The Company believes that the new official rate of 6.3 bolivars to one USD will be the rate that the Company will be allowed to use to repatriate cash from Venezuela. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of these actions by the Venezuelan government these actions are expected to result in a one-time charge in the first quarter of 2013 primarily related to the Company's remeasurement of its local balance sheet on the date of the devaluation. The non-recurring pre-tax charge in the first quarter of 2013 is expected to be in the range of $42 million which will be recorded as other expense. There was no impact to the Company's 2012 results of operations or cash flows.
