On June 12, 2009, we acquired the assets and business of nine imaging centers located in New Jersey from an unrelated third party for approximately $2.1 million.  At the time of the acquisition, we immediately sold the assets and business of one of those nine centers to an unrelated third party for approximately $650,000. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities associated with the remaining eight centers at their respective fair values.

In accordance with accounting standards, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets over the acquisition consideration results in a gain on bargain purchase. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed have been properly valued. We undertook such a reassessment, and as a result, has recorded a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $1.4 million.

We believe that the gain on bargain purchase resulted from various factors that impacted the sale of those New Jersey assets.  The seller was performing a full liquidation of its assets for the benefit of its creditors.  Upon liquidation of all of its assets, the seller intended to close its business.  The New Jersey assets were the only remaining assets to be sold before a full wind-down of the seller’s business could be completed.  We believe that the seller was willing to accept a bargain purchase price from us in return for our ability to act more quickly and with greater certainty than any other prospective acquirer.  The decline in the credit markets made it difficult for other acquirers who relied upon third party financing to complete the transaction.  The relatively small size of the transaction for us, the lack of required third-party financing and our expertise in completing similar transactions in the past gave the seller confidence that we could complete the transaction expeditiously and without difficulty.

In our fair value determination we recorded approximately $3.1 million of land and fixed assets, $250,000 of intangible assets and $121,000 of other current assets.

On March 31, 2009, we acquired the assets and business of Inter-County Imaging in Yonkers, NY for approximately $553,000.  We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $500,000 of fixed assets and no goodwill was recorded with respect to this transaction.
