As compared to the prior year period, the salaries and wages only increased by 0.2 million.
“The increase was primarily attributable to increases of approximately $0.6 million in the amortization (non-cash expense) of newly identifiable intangible assets because of the push-down accounting, approximately $0.3 million of increased franchise taxes, and approximately $0.2 million in salaries and wages, when compared to the prior year period.”
