BUSINESS ACQUISITION |
8. | BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On January 4, 2016, we acquired certain business assets and processes from DAY 1™ Technology, LLC of Minnesota. The acquired rights and know-how are primarily related to formulating our bovine antibodies into a gel solution (or paste) for an oral delivery option to newborn calves via a syringe (or tube). This product format offers customers an alternative delivery option to the bolus (the standard delivery format of the bivalent First Defense® product since first approval by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and product launch in 1991). This gel formulation had been sold as a feed product without disease claims since 2012. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we achieved USDA approval of an improved bivalent gel formulation and began marketing this product as Dual-Force First Defense®. We achieved Canadian approval of this product during the first quarter of 2019. We were also interested in a gel formulation in anticipation of the launch of Tri-Shield First Defense® (which was approved by the USDA during the fourth quarter of 2017) because the additional rotavirus antibodies in this new product would not fit in a bolus full of E. coli and coronavirus antibodies. This purchase also included certain other related private-label products. The total purchase price was approximately $532,000 (comprised of a $368,000 up front payment, a $97,000 technology transfer payment and estimated royalties of $67,000). Actual royalties paid based on sales from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 were $36,000, and no further royalties are payable under this agreement. The estimated fair values of the assets purchased in this transaction included inventory of approximately $113,000, machinery and equipment of approximately $132,000, a developed technology intangible of approximately $191,000 (which includes an immaterial amount of value associated with customer relationships and a non-compete agreement, and was valued using the relief from royalty method) and goodwill of approximately $96,000. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the estimated value of anticipated growth opportunities arising from synergies and efficiencies. The measurement period for the transaction was closed as of June 30, 2016, and we continue to assess any impairment of these assets acquired in accordance with our policies.
