ACQUISITIONS

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 U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood prior to processing. Hemerus previously received Conformité Européenne or CE Mark in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $24.1 million cash and 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. We will also 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 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 valuation of the acquired intangible assets.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:



Asset class	Amounts Recognized as of December 28, 2013
Acquired technology	$	22,800
Trade name	1,900
Customer relationship	600
Goodwill	6,425
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	31,725

The preliminary fair value of the acquired assets is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

The purchase price allocation was revised from the preliminary allocation as of September 28, 2013 as follows: intangible assets increased by $4.9 million, which included trade names and customer relationships for the amounts presented, goodwill decreased by $3.9 million and contingent consideration as of the acquisition date increased by $1.0 million. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets. Goodwill of $6.4 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 any business with Hemerus.

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 December 28, 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.
