Acquisitions

In September 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Dynamic Medical Systems (DMS), a solutions-based service organization with a strong presence in the western United States, for $41,465,000, which was paid in cash.  The acquisition gives the Company a national rental footprint, which strategically enhances the Company's ability to service regional and national long-term care providers. DMS has a clinical solution selling approach for wound therapies, safe patient handling and other rental applications in institutional settings. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company paid $9,000,000 in 2012 for contingent consideration thus eliminating the liability.
