Business and Product Line Acquisitions
6. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS
The Consolidated Statements of Income reflect the results of operations for business acquisitions since the respective dates of purchase. All are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions discussed below relates primarily to enhancing the Company’s strategic platform for the expansion of available product offerings.
On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired the stock of Clarus Labs, Inc., a manufacturer of water testing products. Neogen has distributed Clarus’ Colitag water test to the food and beverage industries since 2004 and this acquisition gives the Company access to sell this product to new markets. Consideration for the purchase was $4,204,000 in cash and $1,256,000 of contingent consideration, due semiannually for the first five years, based on an excess net sales formula. The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included inventory of $32,000, machinery and equipment of $120,000, accounts payable of $53,000, contingent consideration accrual of $1,256,000,
non-current
deferred tax liability of $544,000,
non-amortizable
intangible assets of $878,000, intangible assets of $1,487,000 (with an estimated life of
5-15
years) and the remainder to goodwill
(non-deductible
for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. Since February 2019, $180,000 has been paid to the former owners as contingent consideration from the accrual. Manufacturing of these products was moved to the Company’s Lansing, Michigan location in October 2018, reporting within the Food Safety segment.
 
On September 4, 2018, the Company acquired the assets of Livestock Genetic Services, LLC, a Virginia-based company that specialized in genetic evaluations and data management for cattle breeding organizations. Livestock Genetic Services had been a long-time strategic partner of Neogen and the acquisition enhanced the Company’s
in-house
genetic evaluation capabilities. Consideration for the purchase was $1,100,000 in cash, with $700,000 paid at closing and $400,000 payable to the former owner on September 1, 2019, and up to $585,000 of contingent consideration, payable over the next three years. The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included office 
equipment of $
15,000
, contingent consideration accrual of $
385,000
, intangible assets of $
942,000

In September 2019, the former owner was paid the second installment of $400,000 and was also paid $88,000 in contingent consideration based on the achievement of sales targets in the first year.
Services provided by this operation are now performed at the Company’s Lincoln, Nebraska location, reporting within the Animal Safety segment.
