Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

(a)

Legal – From time to time, the Company may be a party to various suits, claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management , these suits, claims and complaints should not result in final judgments or settlements that, in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

(b)

Contingent Consideration – In connection with the acquisitions of Welch and Marble in 2024, and DAS Medical in 2021, the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. Also, in connection with the DAS Medical and Advant Medical acquisitions, the Company incurred a liability for contingent consideration related to the present value of non-competition payments. We re-measure contingent liabilities each reporting period and record changes in fair value through a separate line item within our consolidated statements of operations. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount rates, periods, timing and amount of projected revenue or timing or likelihood of achieving regulatory, revenue or commercialization-based milestones. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, cash flows, discount rates, useful life, or probability of achieving clinical, regulatory, or revenue-based milestones could result in different purchase price allocations and recognized amortization expense and contingent consideration expense or benefit in current and future periods.
