Acquisitions
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, our acquisitions of businesses (net of cash acquired) totaled $32,740,000, which consisted of the following material acquisitions:
 
Infitrak
 
On July 6, 2015, we completed a business combination (the “Infitrak Acquisition”) whereby we acquired all of the common stock of 2396081 Ontario Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Infitrak Inc. (collectively “Infitrak”), a company whose business provides consulting, packaging and measuring solutions for cold chain applications. The stock purchase agreement (the “Infitrak Agreement”) includes provisions for both contingent consideration based upon the two year growth in gross profit (as defined in the Earn-Out Agreement) of the packaging component of our cold chain business subsequent to the acquisition and for a holdback payment (subject to a post-closing adjustment), payable at the one year anniversary of the closing date.
 
Under the terms of the Infitrak Agreement, we are required to pay contingent consideration if the gross profit (as defined in the Earn-Out Agreement) for the packaging component of our cold chain business for the two years subsequent to the acquisition meets certain levels. The potential consideration payable ranges from $0 to $15,000,000 CDN (approximately $0 to $10,800,000 as of December 31, 2015) and is based upon a sliding scale of growth in gross profit (as defined in the Earn-Out Agreement) for year one and year two of 30 to 70 percent and 15 to 75 percent, respectively. Based upon both historical and projected growth rates, we recorded $9,541,000 of contingent consideration payable which represented our best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be paid. After the finalization of our purchase accounting, any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid will result in additional income or expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We will continue to monitor the results of the packaging component of our cold chain business and we will adjust the contingent liability on a go forward basis, based on then current information. The contingent consideration is payable in two annual installments beginning in the second quarter of our year ending March 31, 2017.
 
We expect to achieve savings and generate growth as we integrate the Infitrak operations and sales and marketing functions. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and it was assigned to our Cold Chain segment.
 
The Infitrak Acquisition constituted the acquisition of a business and was recognized at fair value. Due to the recent nature of the transaction, the purchase price allocation was based upon a preliminary estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as we are in the process of finalizing our valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We determined the preliminary estimated fair values using discounted cash flow analyses and estimates made by management. The following reflects our preliminary allocation of the consideration, subject to customary purchase price adjustments in accordance with the Infitrak Agreement (in thousands):

North Bay
 
On August 6, 2015, we completed a business combination (the “North Bay Acquisition”) whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets (other than certain fixed assets) and certain liabilities of the dental sterilizer testing business of North Bay Bioscience, LLC (“North Bay”). The asset purchase agreement (the “North Bay Agreement”) includes a provision for a holdback payment (subject to a post-closing adjustment), payable at the one year anniversary of the closing date.
 
We expect to achieve savings and generate growth as we integrate the North Bay operations and sales and marketing functions. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and it was assigned to our Biological Indicators segment.
