ACQUISITIONS OF NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

4. ACQUISITIONS OF NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

In seven separate transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased interests in five partnerships. The interests in the partnerships purchased ranged from .1% to 35%. The aggregate of the purchase prices paid was $1.7 million, which included $142,000 of undistributed earnings. The remaining purchase price of $1.6 million, less future tax benefits of $0.6 million, was recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold a 1% interest in two separate partnerships for an aggregate price of $112,000. This amount, less tax effect of $34,000, was credited to additional paid-in capital.

Included in the above purchases of partnership interests, the Company purchased the remaining 1.3% of the non-controlling interest in STAR Physical Therapy, LP, a subsidiary of the Company (“STAR”), held by Mr. Regg Swanson, the Managing Director and a founder of STAR and a member of the Board (“Swanson”). The purchase price paid for the 1.3% interest was $801,640, which included $55,000 of undistributed earnings. The purchase price was determined based on the contractual terms in the Reorganization and Purchase Agreement dated as of September 6, 2007 among the Company, STAR, the limited partners of STAR and Swanson as Seller Representative and in his individual capacity, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 7, 2007. After this transaction, Swanson does not hold any interest in STAR.
