The initial cash payment was $105 million and the Company may be required to pay additional cash consideration up to a maximum amount of $65 million based upon earnings thresholds in 2018 and 2019. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation of $30.7 million relating to the Biotix acquisition was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the Company's forecast of future results. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition totaled $51.3 million, which is included in the Company's U.S. Operations segment.
