Hemerus Acquisition

On April 30, 2013 we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Hemerus LLC ("Hemerus"), a Minnesota based company that develops innovative technologies for the collection of whole blood and processing and storage of blood components. Hemerus has received FDA approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood prior to processing. Hemerus previously received CE Marking (Conformité Européenne) in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $23.1 million cash in addition to the $1.0 million paid in fiscal 2013. We will pay an additional $3.0 million upon a further FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing, and will pay up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX-based products through fiscal 2024.

We acquired Hemerus to complement the portfolio of whole blood collection, filtration and processing product lines we recently acquired and to bring greater efficiency and productivity to whole blood collection and processing. Hemerus manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America. Expected revenue from the sale of SOLX will be reported within the blood center disposables product line.

The assets and liabilities acquired from Hemerus were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary, and subject to change based primarily on finalization of the assessment of the intangible assets and the fair value of liabilities assumed.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is summarized as follows:
Asset class
 
Amounts Recognized as of June 29, 2013
(In thousands)
 
 
Intangible assets
 
$
20,400

Goodwill
 
10,324

Fair value of net assets acquired
 
$
30,724



The preliminary fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

The $20.4 million of acquired intangible assets was allocated to acquired technology. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets. Goodwill of $10.3 million primarily represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the work force and synergies expected to be gained from the integration of SOLX into our whole blood products.

Prior to the acquisition, we had not conducted business with Hemerus except make an offer to purchase along with a $1.0 million commitment in April 2012.

Contingent consideration

As described above, we will pay the sellers of Hemerus assets up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX. We recognized a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments we expect to make as of the acquisition date. We will revalue this liability each reporting period and record necessary changes in the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations. As of June 29, 2013, the maximum amount of future contingent consideration (undiscounted) that we could be required to pay related to future SOLX sales is $14.0 million. Additionally we will pay $3.0 million upon FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing.

Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using projected revenues, discount rates, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. This Level 3 fair value measurement was performed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow over a ten year period.

Increases or decreases in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount periods and rates, as well as changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates or likelihood of earning revenue. Projected revenues are based on our most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans.

Whole Blood Acquisition

On August 1, 2012, we completed the acquisition from Pall Corporation (“Pall”) of substantially all of the assets relating to its blood collection, filtration, processing, storage, and re-infusion product lines, and all of the outstanding equity interest in Pall Mexico Manufacturing, S. de R.L. de C.V., a subsidiary of Pall based in Mexico pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Pall which we refer to as the “whole blood business.” We paid $535.2 million in cash and we anticipate paying an additional $15.0 million upon replication and delivery of certain manufacturing assets of Pall's filter media business to Haemonetics by 2016. Until that time, Pall will manufacture and sell filter media to Haemonetics under a supply agreement. We acquired the whole blood business to provide access to the manual collection and whole blood markets and provide scope for introduction of automated solutions in those markets. The whole blood business manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Revenue from the sale of whole blood disposables has been reported within the blood center disposables product line since the date of acquisition.

The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value. During the current period, we finalized the purchase price allocation which resulted in a reduction in the value of property, plant and equipment value was reduced of $1.3 million, an increase in assumed liabilities and goodwill of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. There was no significant change to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the three months ended June 29, 2013 as a result of these fair value updates.
The final allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

Additional investments in infrastructure costs to replicate certain support functions performed by division or corporate organizations of Pall that did not transfer in the acquisition.
