We periodically complete business combinations that align with our business strategy. Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and that the results of operations of each acquired business be included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income from their respective dates of acquisitions. Acquisition costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.

 

 

 

On the Company acquired QT Holdings Corporation (Quad) for approximately million, net of cash acquired, plus contingent consideration of up to million, subject to certain product development milestones and revenue thresholds.

As summarized in the table, there were adjustments totaling  million to goodwill during the measurement period. These adjustments primarily relate to refinements made to acquired intangible asset cash flow models, an update in the discount rate used in the contingent consideration calculation based on refinements made in the acquired intangible asset cash flow models, and adjustments to preliminary deferred tax amounts based on updated assessments of the applicability of certain NOLs. Tangible assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at fair value on the date of close based on management's assessment. The purchase price allocated to developed technology was estimated based on management's forecasted cash inflows and outflows using a multi-period excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of assets purchased. The developed technology asset is being amortized with the expense reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The amortization period for intangible assets acquired in fiscal are  years for developed technology. The net deferred income tax liability represents the net amount of the estimated future impact of adjustments for costs to be recognized as intangible asset amortization, which is deductible for income tax purposes offset by the deferred tax asset for our calculation of acquired net operating losses (NOLs).

As summarized in the table, there were adjustments totaling  million to goodwill during the measurement period. As previously disclosed, the intangible value associated with the ExosomeDx trade name and determination of the related estimated useful life was under assessment as part of purchase accounting review. During the period, the Company updated our intangible assessment to include a million value for the ExosomeDx trade name. Due to our updated assessments and further refinements in our intangible asset cash flow models, the fair value of the developed technology intangible asset decreased by million. When applying our final assumptions in our intangible asset cash flow models to the Company's contingent consideration recorded in the Opening Balance Sheet, the estimated contingent consideration increased by million. Additionally, we recorded a Customer Relationships intangible asset of million for the established physician network ordering ExosomeDx laboratory services that existed at the acquisition date. Adjustments to the opening balance sheet fair value also included updates to preliminary deferred tax amounts and working capital adjustments, primarily attributable to updates for the net realizable value of certain acquired receivables based on factors existing on the acquisition date.

 

Tangible assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at fair value on the date of close based on management's assessment. The purchase price allocated to developed technology, trade names, and customer relationships was based on management's forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using either a relief-from-royalty or a multiperiod excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of assets purchased. The preliminary amount recorded for developed technology is being amortized with the expense reflected in cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Preliminary amortization expense related to trade names, and customer relationships is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
