Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. ACQUISITIONS In October 2019, we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of a foreign distributor for approximately $4.2 million, which included cash payments at closing, net of closing cash, of $3.6 million, and $0.6 million in contingent consideration potentially payable to the sellers. In addition, we recorded a net gain of $0.4 million for the settlement of preexisting conditions concurrent with the acquisition that was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. The acquisition was included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment's results of operations from the acquisition date and was accounted for as a business combination. The amount of acquisition-related costs was minimal as Bio-Rad primarily represented itself during the acquisition process. Proforma financial statements are not provided as the acquisition is immaterial to Bio-Rad taken as a whole for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2019, the preliminary allocation of the payments was $3.4 million to customer relationships; a definite-lived intangible, $0.2 million to deferred tax asset, $0.8 million to deferred tax liability related to the purchased intangible and $1.4 million to acquired net assets. In August 2019, we acquired all the issued and outstanding membership interests of Exact Diagnostics, LLC for approximately $60.0 million. Cash payments at closing, net of closing cash, were $59.7 million. The acquisition was included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment's results of operations from the acquisition date and was accounted for as a business combination. The amount of acquisition-related costs was minimal as Bio-Rad primarily represented itself during the acquisition process. The goodwill related to this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. Proforma financial statements are not provided as the acquisition is immaterial to Bio-Rad taken as a whole for the periods presented. The final allocation of the payments was $26.8 million to purchased intangibles consisting primarily of customer relationships, developed product technology and tradenames, $4.2 million to acquired net assets, and $28.7 million to goodwill. We believe that the acquisition will accelerate market penetration in the areas of quality controls and assay verification panels in our Clinical Diagnostics operations. In March 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding stock of a small U.S. private company for approximately $20.0 million. Cash payments, net of closing cash, consisted of $4.0 million paid in November 2018 and the remaining $16.0 million paid in March 2019. The acquisition was included in our Life Science segment's results of operations from the acquisition date and was accounted for as a business combination. The amount of acquisition-related costs was minimal as Bio-Rad primarily represented itself during the acquisition process. The goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. Pro forma financial statements are not provided as the acquisition is immaterial to Bio-Rad taken as a whole for the periods presented. The final allocation of the payments was $15.6 million to goodwill that included workforce and time-to-market advantage, $5.5 million to definite-lived intangibles, $0.2 million to in-process research and development, an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and a deferred tax liability of $1.3 million related to the purchased intangibles. We believe that the acquisition will expand our reagents suite of offerings in our Life Science operations.
