NOTE 14. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On June 21, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Xanodyne, pursuant to which Depomed acquired Xanodyne’s product Zipsor and related inventory for $26.4 million in cash, and assumed certain product related liabilities relating to Zipsor. In addition, the Company will make a one-time contingent payment to Xanodyne of $2.0 million in cash at the end of the first calendar year in which Depomed’s net sales of Zipsor® products exceed $30.0 million and an additional, one-time contingent payment to Xanodyne of $3.0 million in cash at the end of the first year in which Depomed’s net sales of Zipsor® products exceed $60.0 million.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for business combinations, the Asset Purchase Agreement with Xanodyne was determined to be a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Neither separate financial statements nor pro forma results of operations have been presented because the acquisition transaction does not meet the qualitative or quantitative materiality tests under Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, $3.0 of the initial payment will be held in escrow for eighteen months and applied towards the indemnification obligations of Xanodyne as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The following table presents a summary of the purchase price consideration for the Zipsor acquisition (in thousands):

(in thousands)

Cash for Zipsor and related inventories	$	26,436
Fair Value of contingent consideration		1,303
Purchase Price	$	27,739

The contingent consideration was recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and is included within other long-term liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company determined the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligation based on an income approach derived from Zipsor revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the level of net sales that would trigger the contingent payment. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The key assumptions in determining the fair value are the discount rate and the probability assigned to the potential milestones being achieved. At each reporting date, the Company will re-measure the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration will be recognized in operating expenses until the contingent consideration arrangement is settled.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

Intangible asset - Zipsor product rights	$	27,100
Inventories		2,428
Other assets		100
Property, plant and equipment		43
Current liabilities		(1,840)
Bargain purchase		(92)
	$	27,739

The Zipsor product rights of $27.1 million have been recorded as intangible assets on the accompanying condensed balance sheet and are being amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis through July 2019. Total amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $0.1 million.

The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of Zipsor inventories of $1.9 million which will be amortized to cost of sales as the acquired inventories are sold. The bargain purchase amount has been recorded within Interest and other income in the accompanying condensed statement of operations and comprehensive income.
