NOTE 4 - FACILITY ACQUISITIONS

On December 31, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Lenox Hill Radiology, consisting of three multi-modality imaging centers as well as three additional x-Ray facilities all located in Manhattan, New York. We also acquired in this transaction a 31.5% interest in a joint venture multi-modality imaging center in Manhattan, New York and an option to purchase a 50% interest in a multi-modality imaging center located in Brooklyn, New York for $1.00. The purchase price consisted of approximately $29.0 million in cash. We have made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $4.5 million of working capital, $7.2 million of fixed assets, $648,000 of joint venture interests, $2.5 million in a $1.00 joint venture purchase option, $100,000 of intangible assets $15.7 million of goodwill and the assumption of approximately $400,000 of other liabilities and $1.3 million of capital lease debt was recorded with respect to this transaction. Our preliminary fair value determination will be made final with the help of an outside valuation expert which we expect to have completed by the end of our first quarter of 2013.

 

On December 3, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a multi-modality imaging center, Clinical Radiologists Medical Imaging located in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $2.8 million in cash. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $65,000 of working capital, $1.8 million of fixed assets, $71,000 of other assets,$1.8 million of goodwill and the assumption of approximately $938,000 of capital lease debt was recorded with respect to this transaction.

 

On November 5, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a multi-modality imaging center, Vanowen Radiology located in Van Nuys, California, for cash consideration of $550,000. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and approximately $164,000 of fixed assets and $386,000 of goodwill was recorded with respect to this transaction.

 

On November 9, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a multi-modality imaging center, Pueblo Radiology located in Ventura, California, for cash consideration of $750,000. This center is located in an area of Ventura where we operate an existing center and compete directly with Pueblo Radiology. We plan on closing our existing center and serving this location from this acquired center. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and approximately $1.6 million of fixed assets and no goodwill was recorded with respect to this transaction. 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, have recorded a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $810,000, which is included in Other Income within our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that the gain on bargain purchase resulted from various factors that impacted the sale.  The seller, a group of Radiologists some of whom own the building where the imaging center is based, were planning to close the imaging center, which was facing competition pressure from our existing RadNet center, and were facing possible expenses to renovate the building to make it available for a non-imaging center tenant. They saw the sale of these assets to RadNet and RadNet’s assumption of an operating lease for the building as a way to avoid costly renovation expense, get out of a location where they were competing directly with a RadNet center and immediately establish a rental revenue stream. We believe that the seller was willing to accept a bargain purchase price from us in return for our ability to enter into a long-term lease agreement for the facility and establish an immediate rental revenue stream with no investment on their part.

 

On October 1, 2012 we acquired a 100% controlling interest in one of our non-consolidated joint venture imaging centers in which we previously held a 50% non-consolidated equity investment. As a result of this transaction, we began consolidating this imaging center, recording all of its assets and liabilities at their fair value at October 1, 2012. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and $2.1 million of fixed assets and $1.8 million of goodwill was recorded with respect to this transaction. We also assumed approximately $1.9 million of capital lease debt and $200,000 of other liabilities.

On July 23, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a multi-modality imaging center, Orthopedic Imaging Center, LLC. located in Redlands, California, for cash consideration of $700,000.

As a result of this transaction we de-consolidated this joint venture and recorded the fair value of our remaining interest as an investment in non-consolidated joint venture accounted for under the equity method.  We recorded a gain on de-consolidation of a joint venture of approximately $2.8 million with respect to this transaction. Approximately $1.4 million of this gain is related to the re-measurement to current fair value of our remaining 49% interest, using a market based valuation approach. The main input used in our valuation model was the $1.8 million sale price of a 41% interest.
