On September 30, 2019, the Company acquired a 67% interest in an eleven-clinic physical therapy practice. The purchase price for the 67% interest was $12.4 million, of which $12.1 million was paid in cash and $0.3 million in a seller note that is payable in two principal installments totaling $150,000 each, plus accrued interest in September 2020 and September 2021. The note accrues interest at 5.0% per annum.
 
On April 11, 2019, the Company acquired a company that is a provider of industrial injury prevention services. The acquired company specializes in delivering injury prevention and care, post offer employment testing, functional capacity evaluations and return-to-work services. It performs these services across a network of 45 states including onsite at eleven client locations. The business was then combined with Briotix Health, the Company’s industrial injury prevention operation, increasing the Company’s ownership position in the Briotix Health partnership to approximately 76.0%. The purchase price for the acquired company was $22.9 million ($23.6 million less cash acquired of $0.7 million), which consisted of $18.9 million in cash, (of which $0.5 million will be paid to certain shareholders), and a $4.0 million seller note.  The note accrues interest at 5.5% and the principal and accrued interest is payable, on April 9, 2021.
 
The results of operations of the acquired clinics have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of their respective acquisition.  The Company intends to continue to pursue additional acquisition opportunities, develop new clinics and open satellite clinics.

The finalized purchase prices plus the fair value of the non-controlling interests for the acquisition in 2018 and 2017 were allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired, inclusive of identifiable intangible assets, i.e. trade names, referral relationships and non-compete agreements, and liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date, with the amount exceeding the fair values being recorded as goodwill. For the acquisitions in 2019, the Company is in the process of completing its formal valuation analysis to identify and determine the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Thus, the final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary estimates used at December 31, 2019 based on additional information obtained and completion of the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets. Changes in the estimated valuation of the tangible assets acquired, the completion of the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and the completion by the Company of the identification of any unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies, where the liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, will likely result in adjustments to goodwill. The Company does not expect the adjustments to be material.

For the acquisitions in 2019, the values assigned to the referral relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized to expense equally over the respective estimated lives.  For referral relationships, the amortization period is 11.0 years.  For non-compete agreements, the amortization period is 6.0 years. The values assigned to tradenames are tested annually for impairment.

For the acquisitions in 2018 and 2017, the values assigned to the referral relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized to expense equally over the respective estimated lives. For referral relationships, the weighted average amortization period was 10.54 and 10.10 years at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  For non-compete agreements, the weighted average amortization period was 6.00 and 5.16 years at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Generally, the values assigned to tradenames are tested annually for impairment.

For the 2019, 2018 and 2017 acquisitions, total current assets primarily represent patient accounts receivable. Total non-current assets are fixed assets, primarily equipment, used in the practices.

The consideration paid for each of the acquisitions was derived through arm’s length negotiations. Funding for the cash portions was derived from proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility. The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since their respective date of acquisition. Unaudited proforma consolidated financial information for the acquisitions in 2019, 2018 and 2017 acquisitions have not been included as the results, individually and in the aggregate.
