Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | ACQUISITIONS ScoliScore TM On September 21, 2012, we acquired certain intangible assets from Axial Biotech, Inc. (“Axial”) related to the ScoliScore TM assay. In consideration for the purchase of the intangible assets, we made a cash payment of approximately $3.4 million to Axial and certain of its creditors. In addition, following the transfer of all of the assets related to the ScoliScore TM assay and confirmation that the ScoliScore TM assay operates, within our laboratories pursuant to protocol agreed upon by us and Axial, during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 we paid an additional $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, to Axial and certain of its creditors. The total consideration paid was $4.4 million. This acquisition provides us with the ScoliScore TM assay technology and intellectual property, and an established revenue and customer base. The following intangible assets were each valued separately using valuation approaches most appropriate for each specific asset.
Acquired technology | Relief from Royalty Method
Tradenames | Relief from Royalty Method
Customer relationships | Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method
Covenants not to compete | With and Without Method
Patents | Relief from Royalty Method
The Income Approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, cash flows or earnings, to a single, discounted amount. The fair value measure is based on the value that is indicated by market expectations about the present value of those future amounts. The Relief from Royalty Method assumes that, if the Company did not have proprietary ownership of the genetic testing processes on which its revenues depend, it might elect to lease the rights or licenses from another company. The fair value is measured as the estimated discounted cash flows of the royalty payments avoided by ownership. The Multi Period Excess Earnings Method measures the fair value as the estimated discounted cash flows of the existing customer relationships over a period during which revenues from existing customer relationships are assumed to have been substantially replaced by revenues from future customers. The With and Without Method measures the fair value of the non-competition agreements as the probability adjusted difference between the estimated discounted cash flows with and without the effect of competition. The model that includes competition includes lost revenues as well as increased expenses required to rebuild the lost revenues. The acquired intangibles have the following useful lives; acquired technology - 10 years; third party payor relationships - 15 years; assay royalties - 7 years; tradenames and trademarks - 7 years. The assets acquired were $3.9 million in identifiable intangible assets and $0.5 million in goodwill. No liabilities were assumed. The acquired assets are reported as a component of our laboratory services segment. The goodwill arising from the acquisition has been assigned to our Laboratory Services segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
