Acquisitions
5. Acquisitions
 
 We actively seek and explore opportunities for expansion through the acquisition of additional broadcast properties. The consolidated statements of income include the operating results of the acquired stations from their respective dates of acquisition. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the total costs were allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired have been recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The Company accounts for acquisition under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.
 
 On January 31, 2014, we acquired one FM station (WFIZ-FM) and three FM Translators serving the Ithaca, New York market for approximately $720,000. We financed this transaction through funds generated from operations. The proforma results of operations for the acquisition of WFIZ-FM are not material to our financial statements.
