Business Acquisitions | Business Acquisitions Fiscal 2013 Acquisitions During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired several businesses for total purchase consideration of $444.7 million. The most significant purchase price of these acquisitions was J.A. Thomas and Associates ("JA Thomas") in October 2012 for cash consideration totaling approximately $242.6 million together with a deferred payment of $25 million contingent on the continued employment of certain key executives. The deferred payment will be recorded as compensation expense over the requisite employment period, and included in acquisition-related costs, net in our consolidated statement of operations. JA Thomas provides Clinical Documentation Improvement solutions to hospitals, primarily in the U.S., and is included in our Healthcare segment. The remaining acquisitions are not material and were made in our Healthcare, Imaging, and Mobile segments. These acquisitions are treated as stock purchases for accounting purposes, and the goodwill resulting from these acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes except for JA Thomas where we may elect to treat this acquisition as a taxable merger under provisions contained in the Internal Revenue Service regulations; should such an election be made in the future, the goodwill resulting from this acquisition would be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in our financial results from the acquisition date. A summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration for our fiscal 2013 acquisitions is as follows (dollars in thousands):
The preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for certain acquisitions completed during fiscal 2013 and 2012 were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations and our estimates and assumptions for each of these acquisitions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the respective acquisition dates). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that were not yet finalized related to certain receivables and liabilities acquired and identifiable intangible assets. Fiscal 2012 Acquisitions On June 1, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Vlingo Corporation (“Vlingo”) for net cash consideration of $196.3 million, which excludes the amounts we received as a security holder of Vlingo, as described below. At the closing of the merger, $15.0 million of the merger consideration was deposited into an escrow account that will be held for twelve months after the closing date to satisfy any indemnification claims. Vlingo provides technology that turns spoken words into action by combining speech recognition and natural language processing technology to understand the user’s intent and take the appropriate action. The acquisition is treated as a stock purchase for accounting purposes, and the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for Vlingo are included in our Mobile and Consumer Segment from the acquisition date. On April 26, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Transcend Services, Inc. (“Transcend”), a provider of medical transcription and editing services. The aggregate consideration payable to the former stockholders of Transcend was $332.3 million. The acquisition is treated as a stock purchase for accounting purposes, and the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for Transcend are included in our Healthcare segment from the acquisition date. Proforma Results The following table shows unaudited pro forma results of operations as if we had acquired Vlingo and Transcend on October 1, 2011 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):
We have not furnished pro forma financial information related to our acquisitions during the current period because such information is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our financial results. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the transactions actually taken place at the beginning of the periods indicated. Acquisition-Related Costs, net Acquisition-related costs include those costs related to business and other acquisitions, including potential acquisitions. These costs consist of (i) transition and integration costs, including retention payments, transitional employee costs and earn-out payments treated as compensation expense, as well as the costs of integration-related services provided by third-parties; (ii) professional service fees, including third party costs related to the acquisition, and legal and other professional service fees associated with disputes and regulatory matters related to acquired entities; and (iii) adjustments to acquisition-related items that are required to be marked to fair value each reporting period, such as contingent consideration, and other items related to acquisitions for which the measurement period has ended. The components of acquisition-related costs, net are as follows (dollars in thousands):
