Acquisition | 10.

As of January 31, 2013, the contingent consideration is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, which is payable, if at all, in three installments in fiscal 2014 and 2015, upon reaching post-closing synergies up to $8.0 million. PDI has been in business for over 45 years and operates in more than 20 global locations.
