NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Crane NXT, Co. is a leading provider of trusted technology solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate our customers’ most valuable assets. We are comprised of two reporting segments: Crane Payment Innovations (“CPI”) and Crane Currency. Our primary end markets include governments and a wide range of consumer related end markets including retail and gaming. See Note 3, “Segment Results” for the relative size of these segments in relation to the total company (both net sales and total assets).
References herein to “Crane NXT,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane NXT, Co. and its subsidiaries, including when Crane NXT, Co. was named “Crane Holdings, Co.” unless the context implies otherwise. References to the “Business” refer to our business, including prior to the Separation (as defined below) when it was a business of Crane Holdings, Co. References herein to “Holdings” refer to Crane Holdings, Co. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Separation unless the context implies otherwise.
Separation
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”) through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings. As part of the Separation, the Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials businesses of Holdings were spun off to SpinCo. Also, as part of the Separation, Holdings retained the Payment and Merchandising Technologies business and was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” on April 3, 2023. Following the consummation of the Separation, our common stock is listed under the symbol “CXT” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Due to SpinCo’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to ours, among other factors, SpinCo was considered to be the “accounting spinnor” and therefore is the “accounting successor” to Holdings for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. Therefore, following the Separation, our historical financial statements are comprised solely of combined carve-out financial statements representing only our operations, assets, liabilities and equity on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings.
Prior to the Separation, Crane NXT employees and directors participated in Holdings equity incentive plans and received equity awards under those plans in the form of stock options, restricted share units, performance-based and time-based restricted share units and deferred stock units in respect of Holdings common shares. Crane NXT Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements reflect compensation expense for these stock-based plans associated with the portion of the Holdings equity incentive plans in which Crane NXT employees and directors participated.
As a result of the Separation, all outstanding stock-based compensation awards of Holdings were exchanged for similarly valued stock-based compensation awards of either SpinCo, Crane NXT or both. The exchanged awards are subject to the same service vesting requirements as the original awards. The modification of the performance-based restricted share units resulted in a liability recorded upon Separation. The amount of the liability was $ 1.0 million and $ 1.9 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Separation Agreements
On April 3, 2023, we entered into definitive agreements with SpinCo in connection with the Separation. The agreements set forth the terms and conditions of the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with SpinCo following the Separation, including the allocation between us and SpinCo of our and SpinCo’s assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. These agreements include the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the Separation, as well as a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Crane NXT Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed on Form 10-K on February 22, 2024.
The Business' financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below.
Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation
Prior to the Separation, the Business operated as Holdings’ Payment & Merchandising Technologies (“P&MT”) segment; consequently, stand-alone financial statements for periods prior to the Separation were not prepared for the Business.
The Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Business, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by the Business. Prior to the Separation, costs for certain functions and services performed by centralized Holdings organizations were directly charged to the Business based on specific identification when possible or reasonable allocation methods such as net sales, headcount, usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of the Business by centralized groups within Holdings (see Note 2, “Related Parties” for a description of the allocation methodologies). All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by Holdings have been deemed settled in cash by the Business to Holdings in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on the stand-alone results of the Business. However, because the Business filed group tax returns as part of Holdings in certain jurisdictions, the Business’ actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Business’ portion of income taxes for certain jurisdictions is deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded.
Prior to the Separation, Holdings used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash of Holdings has been allocated to the Business in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements. However, cash balances primarily associated with certain of our foreign entities that did not participate in Holdings’ cash management program have been included in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements. Transactions between Holdings and the Business are deemed to have been settled immediately through “Crane Net Investment.” The net effect of the deemed settled transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as “Net transfers to Crane” within financing activities and in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Changes in Equity as “Crane Net Investment.”
All intercompany accounts and transactions within the Business have been eliminated in the preparation of the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements. The Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements of the Business include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Business.
All allocations and estimates in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, for the periods prior to the Separation, the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business in the future, or if the Business had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which intends to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. The new standard includes new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported segment's profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources. The standard is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Disclosures. We do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation in their rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis within specified categories, to disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and to disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meets a quantitative threshold. The guidance also includes new requirements to provide users of the financial statements with better information on future cash flow prospects. The standard is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Disclosures. We do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on our disclosures.
The Company considered the applicability and impact of other Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined them to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets and Cash Flows.
Note 2 - Related Parties
Prior to the Separation, the Business was managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of Holdings. Accordingly, certain shared costs were allocated to the Business and are reflected as expenses in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements.
Allocated Centralized Costs. The Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings for the periods prior to the Separation.
Prior to the Separation, Holdings incurred corporate costs for services provided to the Business as well as other Holdings businesses. These services included treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to the support functions. Holdings also allocated costs associated with corporate insurance coverage and medical, pension, post-retirement and other health plan costs for employees participating in Holdings sponsored plans. Allocations were based on several utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and relative net sales. All such amounts were deemed incurred and settled by the Business in the period in which the costs were recorded.
The allocated centralized costs for the Business were $ 13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations.
In the opinion of our management, the expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or for the benefit received by the Business during 2023 prior to the Separation. The amounts that would have been or will be incurred on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
Separation Costs . In connection with the Separation, we incurred transaction related expenses of $ 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. Expenses primarily consisted of professional service fees.
12
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash Management and Financing. Prior to the Separation, the Business participated in Holdings’ centralized cash management and daily cash sweeps. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems which were operated by Holdings. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, which were also maintained by Holdings. As cash was received and disbursed by Holdings, it was accounted for by the Business through “Crane Net Investment.” Historically, Holdings had centrally managed and swept cash for most domestic and certain European entities. However, certain legal entities did not participate in Holdings’ centralized cash management program for a variety of reasons.
Accounts Receivable and Payable. Certain related party transactions between the Business and Holdings have been included within “Crane Net Investment” in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Changes in Equity in the historical periods presented when the related party transactions were not settled in cash.
We recorded related party interest expense related to the loan activity with Holdings and its affiliates of $ 2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which are included in the Business’ results as “Related party interest expense” in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected within “Net transfers to Crane” as a financing activity in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
After the Separation, SpinCo and its subsidiaries were identified as related parties. As of March 31, 2024, we had net outstanding payables with SpinCo and its subsidiaries of $ 0.1 million related to the transition services agreement and net outstanding receivables with SpinCo and its subsidiaries of $ 6.6 million related to indemnification under the tax matters agreement. As of December 31, 2023, we had net outstanding receivables with SpinCo and its subsidiaries of $ 0.3 million related to the transition services agreement and $ 4.5 million related to indemnification under the tax matters agreement.
Note 3 - Segment Results
Our segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. As of March 31, 2024, we had two reportable segments: Crane Payment Innovations and Crane Currency. Assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash, deferred tax assets, certain property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets. Corporate consists of corporate office expenses including compensation and benefits for corporate employees, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs.
A brief description of each of our segments as of March 31, 2024, is as follows:
Crane Payment Innovations

Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled. As of March 31, 2024, our performance obligations were $ 422.0 million. We expect to recognize approximately 83 % of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2024, 11 % in 2025 and the balance thereafter.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities” on our Unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:
(in millions) March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Contract assets $ 41.7 $ 30.3
Contract liabilities $ 86.3 $ 92.5
We recognized revenue of $ 27.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023.
Note 5 - Earnings Per Share
Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units that were issued to Crane NXT and SpinCo employees and directors. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
On April 3, 2023, 56.7 million shares of our common stock, par value $ 1.00 per share, were distributed to Holdings stockholders of record as of March 23, 2023. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for periods presented prior to the Separation and such shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical earnings per share. For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no Crane NXT stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation.

Note 8 - Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rates
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the periods presented.
Our effective tax rates are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2024 2023
Effective Tax Rate 19.0 % 20.0 %
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to a higher equity compensation deduction.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is lower than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to a higher equity compensation deduction.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar 2”) that has been agreed upon by over 140 member jurisdictions including the United States. Pillar 2 addresses the risks associated with profit shifting to entities in low tax jurisdictions. We have adopted Pillar 2 and the impact of this adoption on our business is immaterial.
The Tax Matters Agreement, among other things, governs our and SpinCo’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits (including any taxes imposed that are attributable to the failure of the Distribution and certain related transactions to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. Although enforceable as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities.
As of March 31, 2024, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $ 19.3 million included in “Other liabilities” in our Unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets.

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies
We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of March 31, 2024, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 3, 2023, Crane NXT and SpinCo entered into a Tax Matters Agreement which, among other things, governs our and SpinCo’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits. The agreement specifies the allocation of tax liabilities between us and SpinCo, and we and SpinCo agreed to indemnify each other for any amounts for which they are not responsible. As of March 31, 2024, there were no amounts owing to SpinCo pursuant to this agreement. The Tax Matters Agreement also specifies allocation of tax liabilities in the event that the Distribution is determined not to be tax-free. We believe that as of March 31, 2024, there was no reasonable possibility that such a tax liability will be incurred in connection with the Distribution.

Credit Faciliti es - We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for (i) a $ 500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a $ 350 million, three-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under each of which became available in connection with the Separation, upon the satisfaction of customary conditions of facilities of this type. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we drew down $ 30.0 million and repaid $ 5.0 million on our Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds from time to time prior to the maturity of the Revolving Facility without any penalty or premium, subject to customary borrowing conditions for facilities of this type and the reimbursement of breakage costs. Borrowings under the Term Facility are prepayable without premium or penalty, subject to customary reimbursement of breakage costs. Interest on loans advanced under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50 % to 2.25 % or (2) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50 % to 1.25 %, in each case, with such margin as determined by the lower of corporate family credit ratings issued by Moody’s and S&P (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20 % to 0.35 %, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets, transactions with affiliates, investments, hedging arrangements and amendments to our organizational documents or to certain subordinated debt agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (provided that, at our election, such maximum ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for specified periods following our consummation of certain material acquisitions) and our minimum interest coverage ratio must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us or any of our material subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
Level 2 : Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Valuation Technique
The carrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.
As a result of the Separation, all outstanding stock-based compensation awards of Holdings were exchanged for similarly valued stock-based compensation awards of either SpinCo, Crane NXT or both. The modification of the performance-based restricted share units resulted in a liability recorded upon Separation for awards that will be settled in SpinCo’s shares. The amount of the liability is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs such as the quoted market price of the underlying company’s stock. The fair value of the liability was $ 1.0 million and $ 1.9 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Long-term debt rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value for debt issues that are not quoted on an exchange. The estimated fair value of notes due, measured using Level 2 inputs, was $ 454.4 million and $ 469.5 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Note 14 - Restructuring
2024 Restructuring - In the first quarter of 2024, in response to challenging industry conditions, we initiated workforce reductions in CPI, incurring $ 2.7 million of severance charges during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We do no t expect to incur additional costs to complete these actions. We expect to substantially complete the restructuring program in 2025.
2022 Restructuring - In the fourth quarter of 2022, in response to economic uncertainty, we initiated workforce reductions in CPI, incurring $ 6.7 million of cumulative restructuring charges, net through March 31, 2024, of which $ 5.8 million related to severance and $ 0.9 million related to other costs. We do no t expect to incur additional costs to complete these actions. We expect to substantially complete the program in 2024 in the U.S., with foreign jurisdictions extending through 2026.

Note 15 - Subsequent Events
On May 3, 2024, we acquired the OpSec Security business (“OpSec”), for a base purchase price of $ 270 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to a later adjustment reflecting OpSec’s net working capital, cash, the assumption of certain debt-like items, and OpSec's transaction expenses. We utilized $ 210 million from our Revolving Facility and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. Transaction costs incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were $ 3.9 million.
OpSec is a global leader in brand protection and authentication solutions, serving the world’s most recognized brands, as well as government agencies and financial institutions.
The Company is in process of determining the purchase price allocation and therefore the related disclosure is not practicable, due to the timing of the acquisition.
