BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Tarsus Medical, Inc.

On January 24, 2013, the Company acquired all outstanding preferred and common stock of Tarsus Medical, Inc. for a total of $4.7 million consisting of $2.8 million in cash (less cash acquired) and contingent consideration with an estimated acquisition date fair value of approximately $1.6 million. The potential maximum undiscounted contingent consideration consists of the first milestone payment of up to $1.5 million and the second payment of up to $11.5 million. These payments are based on reaching certain sales of acquired products. Tarsus Medical, Inc. is a podiatry device company addressing clinical needs associated with diseases and injuries of the foot and ankle.

The following summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price based on fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

	Final Purchase Price Allocation
	(Dollars in thousands)
Cash	$	85
Prepaid expenses	13
Intangible assets			Wtd. Avg. Life:
Technology	5,040		10 - 14 years
In-process research and development	340		Indefinite
Deferred tax asset - long term	1,334
Goodwill	116
Total assets acquired	6,928
Accounts payable and other liabilities	111
Deferred tax liability	2,152
Net assets acquired	$	4,665

Management determined the preliminary fair value of net assets acquired during the first quarter of 2013 and finalized the working capital adjustment in the second quarter of 2013. The Company accounts for the contingent consideration by recording its fair value as a liability on the date of the acquisition. The contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in earnings. Accordingly, on January 24, 2013 the Company recorded $1.6 million representing the initial fair value estimate of the contingent consideration that will be earned through December 31, 2015. At September 30, 2013 there was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of this liability is based on future sales projections of the Tarsus Medical product under various potential scenarios and weighting the probability of these outcomes for the period ended December 31, 2015. At the date of the acquisition, the first milestone cash flow projection was discounted using a rate of 4.3% based on an estimated after tax cost of debt; the second milestone cash flow projection was discounted using a weighted average cost of capital of 16.5%. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement.

The goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition is based on (i) expected cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from the combined operations, (ii) the value of the going-concern element of Tarsus’ existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately), and (iii) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as Tarsus’ assembled workforce. The goodwill acquired will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The impact of the Tarsus acquisition is not material to the consolidated operating results of the Company; therefore, the pro-forma impact of the acquisition has not been presented.
