Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of First Biomedical to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of First Biomedical and completed the acquisition for total consideration of $17.4 million. Included in the consideration is $16.6 million paid in cash and a $0.8 million seller note described in further detail below.

First Biomedical sells, rents, services and repairs new and pre-owned infusion pumps and other medical equipment. First Biomedical also sells a variety of primary and secondary tubing, cassettes, catheters and other disposable items that are utilized with infusion pumps. Headquartered in Olathe, Kansas, with additional facilities in California and Toronto, First Biomedical is a leading provider to alternate site healthcare facilities and hospitals in the United States and Canada.

 

The acquisition of First Biomedical allows the Company to expand its offerings to existing customers with the addition of biomedical service and repair, while simultaneously bolstering the growth of infusion pump sales within the oncology space and realized synergies.

First Biomedical's results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date.

Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was primarily based upon a valuation using income and cost approaches, and management's estimates and assumptions. There was an excess, or premium, paid for the acquisition due to the benefits described above. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. For tax purposes, goodwill consists of both identifiable intangible assets (customer relationships and non-competition agreements from the table below) and unidentifiable intangible assets (goodwill from the table below). Goodwill is expected to be partially deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is based on a final analysis. The allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the transaction date is presented below (in thousands):

The stock purchase agreement provided for an adjustment to the purchase price based on final working capital as of the closing balance sheet, which was finalized during the fourth quarter of year ended December 31, 2010 and resulted in an additional payment of $0.2 million, increasing the total purchase price.

Acquired property and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives ranging from 1 year to 14.5 years. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives ranging from 5 to 15 years reflecting the expected future value.

The goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2011. For additional information see Note 6.

Fees

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred legal and professional fees directly related to the First Biomedical acquisition totaling approximately $1.0 million. All such costs are presented under the caption "General and administrative" within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the date of the acquisition the Company entered into a subordinated promissory note with the former majority shareholder of First Biomedical (the Seller) in the amount of $0.8 million. In accordance with the note, the Company will pay the Seller in equal installments over 24 months, which includes annual interest of 5%. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 the outstanding principal due on the note was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
