Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Asset Purchase Agreement
 
On July 11, 2011, HemaCare Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coral Blood Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Sellers”), completed the sale of the Sellers’ red blood cell collection operation assets (the “Assets”) in California and Maine to The American National Red Cross (the “Buyer”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 11, 2011 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).  The Assets included automobiles and equipment, finished goods and work-in-process inventory of blood products, a trademark and books and records relating to blood drive sponsors and blood donors.
 
In consideration for the Assets, the Buyer agreed to pay to the Sellers an aggregate of $3,051,000.  Of the purchase price, $2,475,000 was paid on the closing date, $51,000 will be paid on or around July 15, 2011, and $250,000 will be paid in three equal monthly installments on the 30th, 60th and 90th days following the closing date.  The remaining balance of $275,000 was paid into a one year escrow to satisfy the Sellers’ potential indemnification liabilities to the Buyer.
 
As a result of the Asset sale, the Sellers will effect a reduction in force of approximately 100 employees in California and Maine, which will result in a third quarter charge of approximately $900,000 in employment related expenses.
 
The press releases announcing the sale transaction is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The foregoing summary of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1

The foregoing summary of the Blood Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
 
Item 1.02

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 11, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between The American National Red Cross (“Red Cross”), HemaCare Corporation (“HemaCare”), and Coral Blood Services, Inc. (“Coral” and, together with HemaCare, each a “Seller” and collectively the “Sellers”).  Red Cross and the Sellers are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
 
WITNESSETH:
 
WHEREAS, the Sellers are the owner of certain assets used in blood collections and manufacturing services (the “Business”); and
 
WHEREAS, Red Cross desires to purchase certain herein named assets of the Sellers used in the Business, which constitute only a portion of the assets of the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell such assets, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, it is hereby agreed as follows:
 
1.             PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS: CLOSING.
 
 
a)
Purchase and Sale of Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, each Seller hereby agrees to sell to Red Cross, and Red Cross agrees to purchase from each Seller the assets owned by the Seller which are specifically identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement (collectively, the “Assets”), which Assets are used by the Sellers in connection with the Business.
 
 
b)
Procedure for Closing. At the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Red Cross free and clear of all liabilities whatsoever (whether absolute or contingent, and including all liens, encumbrances, equities, claims, charges or interests of third persons), and Red Cross shall purchase from the Sellers, all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in or to the Assets. The Closing shall be held at 6:00 a.m. Pacific time on the Effective Date at HemaCare’s principal executive offices located at 15350 Sherman Way, Suite 350, Van Nuys, CA 91406.  The date of the closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.
 
 
c)
Closing.  At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Seller shall deliver to Red Cross a bill or bills of sale, assignments and all other instruments necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to Red Cross to convey all right, title and interest in or to the Assets to Red Cross and all other documents required to be entered into by any Seller pursuant to this Agreement.  At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Red Cross shall deliver the consideration for the purchase of the Assets as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement and all other documents required to be entered into by Red Cross pursuant to this Agreement.
 
 
d)
Delivery and Possession of Assets.  At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver possession of the Assets being transferred by such Seller to Red Cross at the Seller’s premises where such Assets are physically located as of the Closing Date.  Red Cross shall remove the Assets from the Sellers’ premises at Red Cross’ expense no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or by such later date as is agreed to by HemaCare.
 
 
 

 
 
 
e)
Irradiator.  Notwithstanding this Section 1 to the contrary, with respect to the Cell X-Ray Irradiator (the “Irradiator”) included as part of the Assets, the purchase and sale of the Irradiator shall not occur, and title thereto shall not pass to Red Cross, until a date which is thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or such earlier date as specified by Red Cross.  Prior to delivery of the Irradiator, HemaCare and Red Cross shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a leaseback agreement pursuant to which Red Cross will lease the Irradiator to HemaCare, at no cost to HemaCare, for use by HemaCare in performing its obligations to Red Cross pursuant to the Blood Purchase Agreement (as defined below).  During the period from the Closing Date through December 18, 2011, HemaCare will continue in effect the service maintenance agreement presently covering the Irradiator.  On the Closing Date, Red Cross shall pay to HemaCare $9,349.98 to reimburse HemaCare for amounts paid under the service maintenance agreement for the period from the Closing Date through December 18, 2011.
 
2.             CONSIDERATION.
 
 
a)
Purchase Price. In consideration of the purchase, sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Assets, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Red Cross shall pay to HemaCare a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) Three Million Dollars and No Cents ($3,000,000.00) plus (ii) the Inventory Purchase Amount described in Section 2.b) below, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions delivered by HemaCare to Red Cross prior to the Closing Date.  Red Cross shall pay the Purchase Price as follows:
 
 
i)
an amount equal to $2,475,000 shall be paid to HemaCare on the Closing Date;
 
 
ii)
an amount equal to the Inventory Purchase Amount shall be paid to HemaCare on the fourth (4th) business day following the Closing Date;
 
 
iii)
$250,000 shall be paid to HemaCare in three equal monthly installments of $83,333.33 each on the 30th, 60th and 90th days following the Closing Date;
 
 
iv)
$275,000.00 (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Holdback Account”) with California Bank and Trust (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).   The Escrow Holdback Account shall be available as the sole source of funds for any indemnification liabilities of the Sellers in accordance with Section 8 below. On the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute all of the Escrow Amount remaining in the Escrow Holdback Account (if any) to HemaCare; provided, however, that if Red Cross has asserted any unresolved claims pursuant to Section 8, the Escrow Agent shall continue to withhold all amounts necessary to satisfy all such unresolved claims as provided in the Escrow Agreement.
 
 
b)
Inventory Purchase.  On the Closing Date (the “Inventory Determination Date”), Sellers shall deliver to Red Cross a schedule of all finished and work-in-process blood products in Sellers’ inventory as of the Inventory Determination Date which comprise part of the Assets to be acquired by Red Cross pursuant to this Agreement, identified by product type.  With respect to all work-in-process blood products, Sellers shall continue to process such inventory into finished blood products after the Closing Date.  On the fourth (4th) business day following the Closing Date, as part of the Purchase Price, Red Cross shall pay to HemaCare, in the manner set forth in Section 2.a).ii) above, an amount (the “Inventory Purchase Amount”) equal to the aggregate purchase price for all such products in inventory on the Closing Date, at the following unit prices:  Platelets -- $400.00; Red Blood Cells -- $250.00; Fresh Frozen Plasma -- $53.00; and Cryoprecipitate -- $43.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Inventory Purchase Amount for all products in inventory other than platelets exceeds $50,000 (such products in inventory in excess of such amount, the “Excess Inventory”), then the Assets shall include, and the Red Cross shall be obligated to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.b), only that portion of the Excess Inventory that meets customary requirements for blood type product mix, as determined by Red Cross in its reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding Section 1.d) to the contrary, Red Cross shall take possession of the finished blood products in inventory on the Closing Date no later than the first calendar day following the Closing Date, and Red Cross shall take possession of all work-in-process blood products in inventory on the Closing Date no later than the first calendar day following the date such work-in-process becomes finished inventory.

iv)
HemaCare will send out letters, also known as an opt-out letter, to donors, in coordination with Red Cross, for the purposes of determining if the donors do not want their information conveyed to Red Cross.  In the case of platelet donors associated with the USC donor centers, the opt-out letters will be sent as soon as practicable after September 1, 2011.  After 30 days following delivery to a donor of an opt-out letter, HemaCare will provide the donor’s information (in the form of cold calling lists including name, address, phone and email, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable regulations) to Red Cross.

vi)
HemaCare will provide a calendar of future donor drives, from July 2011 through July 2012, with relevant information, including sponsor name, contact name, address, phone number email and other relevant information.  HemaCare will use their commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to Red Cross all such information via the Hemasphere software program.

1.2 The Vendor will provide the Blood in accordance with the standing orders described in Attachment B (each, a "Standing Order"). The Standing Orders will be determined by mutual agreement of Vendor and Red Cross on a calendar quarter basis, in advance of the commencement of the applicable calendar quarter; provided that all Standing Orders for a Contract Year do not provide for less than 7,000 or more than 12,000 units of Blood for the Contract Year.

1.3 Red Cross agrees that it is contracting with Vendor for the supply of Blood on a “take or pay” basis, and that Red Cross shall be obligated to pay for of all units of Blood supplied by Vendor, or which Vendor is ready, willing and able to supply, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at a price equal to 100% of the per unit Fee (as defined below), regardless of whether Red Cross requires or accepts delivery of Blood.

2.0 Regulations and Antitrust Compliance

2.1 The Parties will comply with applicable laws and industry standards, including without limitation, requirements, regulations, standards, recommendations, specifications, guidelines and directives of the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); AABB standards; the Specifications; U.S. economic sanctions; anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws; the USA PATRIOT Act; laws administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control; and Executive Order 13224 ("Regulations").   Neither Party will discriminate against any employee or applicant in connection with this Agreement because of any characteristic protected by the Regulations.

3.2 If a regulatory agency orders the Vendor to correct or recall the Blood, then the Vendor will provide the Red Cross immediate notice of the correction or recall.

3.3 If the Blood is unsuitable for transfusion or not in compliance with the Regulations, the Red Cross will notify the Vendor of the need to return the Blood, and obtain from Vendor a return authorization confirmation before returning such Blood.  Vendor will make arrangements for the return of such Blood to Vendor’s facility at Vendor’s cost, which may include Vendor picking up the Blood or authorizing Red Cross to ship the Blood to Vendor.  Vendor will credit Red Cross the Fee for all Blood returned in accordance with this Agreement upon Vendor’s receipt of such returned Blood.

3.4 The Red Cross will notify the Vendor of any recipient adverse reaction that appears to be related to the Vendor’s collection, manufacturing, storage or distribution of the Blood.

7.2 Red Cross may provide notice of its intent not to exercise any Extension Term or Year Term and such notice shall act to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then-current term so long as such notice is tendered no fewer than 12 months prior to the beginning of the Extension Term or Year Term in question.  For example, the notice not to exercise extension of the first Extension Term must be given prior to the end of year four of the Initial Term.  Such notice not to extend the second Extension Term must be given prior to the end of the Initial Term and so forth.

8.10 Relationship of Parties: This Agreement does not create any association, agency, partnership, employment relationship or joint venture between the Parties.

8.11 Tax Exempt: The Vendor will not charge the Red Cross, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation, any sales tax.  Upon request, the Red Cross will furnish exemption certificates.

8.12 Vendor Inspection System: The Vendor will maintain an inspection and testing system of the Blood.

8.13 Good Faith Negotiation: The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith following execution of this agreement to agree on fee-based systems by which Red Cross will provide Platelet Quality Control Services, Bacterial Detection Services, and supply boxes to Vendor for the packing and delivery of Blood to Red Cross hereunder.  Until the parties are able to agree on the terms of such agreement, Vendor will use its own boxes to deliver Blood hereunder, and Red Cross agrees to return such boxes to Vendor in the ordinary course of business and to reimburse Vendor for any boxes that are lost or damages by Red Cross or while in Red Cross’ possession or control.  In addition, Vendor agrees to apply for a license from the FDA that would enable Vendor to sell single donor platelets no later than December 31, 2011, and following the submission of such application Vendor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue the attainment of such license, including by promptly responding to FDA’s comments on such application or requests for additional information.

8.14 Force Majeure.  Neither Red Cross nor Vendor shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement on account of delays in delivery or in the performance of any other act to be performed by Red Cross or Vendor under this Agreement due to any of the following causes:  Acts of God or public enemies, civil war, insurrections or riots, fires, floods, explosions, earthquakes or serious accidents, epidemics or quarantine restrictions, any act of government, governmental priorities, or due to any other cause to the extent it is beyond Red Cross’ or Vendor’s control or not occasioned by Red Cross’ or Vendor’s fault or negligence.  Promptly upon the occurrence of any event under this Section 8.14 that may result in a delay in delivery of purchase of Blood, Red Cross or Vendor, as the case may be, shall give notice to other party, which such notice shall identify such occurrence and specify the period of delay which may reasonably be expected therefrom.  Under all such circumstances, Red Cross or Vendor, as the case may be, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to correct such delays.

ATTACHMENT A
BLOOD SPECIFICATIONS

For the purposes of this Agreement “Blood” shall mean ISBT labeled single donor platelets, meeting the following specifications:

1.
All Blood will be delivered to Red Cross F.O.B. Vendor’s facility in Van Nuys, California with a minimum of 3 days prior to expiration measured at the time of delivery.  Vendor shall not be responsible for any delays by Red Cross in accepting delivery or taking physical possession of Blood, and if such delays result in Blood having less than a minimum of 3 days prior to expiration at the time Red Cross takes physical possession of the Blood, Red Cross shall nevertheless be obligated to accept such Blood.  In addition, in instances where the Vendor engages Red Cross to perform testing, the foregoing 3-day deadline will be enforceable only when Red Cross has delivered test results in a timeframe consistent with those articulated or defined in any agreement for testing services between the Red Cross and Vendor. The Parties agree that the three-day deadline will be unconditional when testing is conducted by any third party.

2.
All Blood will satisfy applicable guidelines and directives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); American Association of Blood Bank (AABB) standards and any additional applicable laws and industry standards.  All Blood will be bacteria tested by FDA approved method.

3.
Blood will be a minimum of 75% from male donors to minimize TRALI risk.  Vendor shall deliver Blood shipments each calendar quarter that contain on average at least 15% Rh negative components, and Vendor also shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver individual shipments in accordance with this same specification.  The Parties acknowledge that the nature of blood services makes immediate, strict compliance with the specification in this paragraph 3 of Attachment A difficult to achieve immediately.  Therefore, Red Cross will refrain from strictly enforcing such provisions for a period of 12 months from the execution of this Agreement.

Import volume should be substantially in accordance with the following collection percentage by day of week of collection.
 
 Monday -- 18%
 Tuesday -- 13%
 Wednesday -- 10%
 Thursday -- 10%
 Friday  -- 14%
 Saturday -- 17%
 Sunday -- 18%

FEES AND DELIVERY TERMS

FEE PER PRODUCT

 
·
For the first two Contract Years of the Initial Term (until June 30, 2013), the price per unit of Blood shall be $[l]1.

 
·
For the remaining portion of the Initial Term (from July 1, 2013 until June 30, 2016), the Extension Term and any Year Term, the price per unit of Blood shall be determined once per calendar year and shall apply to all sales of Blood made during the applicable calendar year, and shall be an amount equal to [l]1% of Red Cross’ National Average Selling Price of the Blood for the immediately preceding calendar year, as determined by Red Cross in a manner consistent with historical practice. Red Cross shall provide Vendor with such information as Vendor reasonably requests to confirm Red Cross’ determination of the National Average Selling Price for a particular period.  Red Cross shall inform Vendor of the applicable price per unit of Blood for a calendar year no later than the 15th day following commencement of the calendar year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the National Average Selling Price of the Blood for a calendar year is at least 10% greater or less than the National Average Selling Price of the Blood for the immediately preceding calendar year, then the price per unit of Blood shall thereafter be determined once per calendar quarter and shall apply to all sales of Blood made during the applicable calendar quarter, and shall be an amount equal to [l]1% of Red Cross’ National Average Selling Price of the Blood for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.  The change from calendar year to calendar quarter pricing shall commence with the first calendar quarter of the year in which the 10% price deviation has occurred, by reference to the National Average Selling Price of the Blood for the fourth quarter of the immediately preceding calendar year.

 
·
If Red Cross requests that Vendor perform CMV Testing for a unit of Blood, Vendor will perform such test and Red Cross shall pay to Vendor, in addition to the invoiced price for such Blood, an amount per unit equal to Vendor’s third party out of pocket cost in obtaining such testing plus one dollar ($1.00).

STANDING ORDERS:

1.
Prior to the commencement of a calendar quarter, Vendor and Red Cross will confer in good faith to establish projections for the volume of Blood to be delivered by Vendor to Red Cross during the applicable calendar quarter, which projections may include the volume of Blood and other Blood characteristics the parties believe that that Red Cross will require on each day of the week during the applicable calendar quarter.  The projections will be finalized in advance of commencement of the calendar quarter, will constitute a Standing Order for the purchase and sale of Blood during the calendar quarter, and Vendor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Blood to Red Cross in accordance with the Standing Order.  Red Cross agrees that Vendor’s failure to deliver Blood on a given day in accordance with a Standing Order shall not constitute a default of Vendor’s obligations under the Standing Order, provided that Vendor otherwise delivers Blood substantially in accordance with the Standing Order during the calendar quarter.  The parties may mutually agree on modifications to a Standing Order during a particular calendar quarter.

1 Terms represented by this symbol are considered confidential.  These confidential terms have been omitted pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been filed separately with the SEC.

2.
Vendor acknowledges that the Standing Orders will be determined in part based on the requirements of the Red Cross National Inventory Management System, and will work with Red Cross on establishing projections based on Red Cross’ requirements per the National Inventory Management System.

3.
Vendor will include the order number, as provided by the Red Cross, on all packing slips, packaging, delivery receipts and invoices.

4.
In all events, the Standing Orders for a Contract Year will provide for the delivery of at least 7,000 units of Blood and no more than 12,000 units of Blood, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Vendor and Red Cross.

DELIVERY TERMS:

1.
Vendor will deliver Blood that is the subject of a Standing Order to Red Cross F.O.B. Vendor’s facility in Van Nuys, California.  Title and risk of loss or damage to Blood shall pass to Red Cross upon delivery by Vendor of Blood to Red Cross (or its carrier) at Vendor’s facility.  Vendor will notify Red Cross, pursuant to procedures Vendor and Red Cross establish from time to time, when Vendor has delivered Blood to Red Cross at Vendor’s facility.

2.
Red Cross shall reject Blood as non-conforming within twenty-four (24) hours after such Blood is delivered by Vendor to Red Cross as provided in clause 1 above (i.e., available at Vendor’s facility in Van Nuys, CA), regardless of when Red Cross takes physical possession of the Blood.  Any Blood not rejected as non-conforming within such period shall be deemed accepted by Red Cross.  The parties acknowledge that Blood has a very limited shelf life, and that such acceptance procedures are reasonable under the circumstances.

3.
Vendor will package the Blood as required by the Regulations in boxes with sufficient cushioning to insure an intact and undamaged delivery.

4.
Vendor will label shipments of Blood as follows in accordance with such reasonable specifications as provided by Red Cross from time to time.

AGREEMENT WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
 

 
LOS ANGELES - HemaCare Corporation (OTCBB:HEMA) announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell certain assets of its Blood Services operations to the American Red Cross.  Under the terms of the sale, which closed today, HemaCare sold its red blood cell collection operation assets to the American Red Cross.  The sale does not include HemaCare’s platelet collection business.

Pete van der Wal, HemaCare’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “This transaction will enable us to better focus on our most profitable growth opportunities, while also providing us with cash to support geographic expansion of our rapidly growing cell therapy collection capabilities.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the American Red Cross acquired HemaCare’s red blood cell collection operation assets in Los Angeles and Maine, consisting primarily of equipment, vehicles and business records, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million plus an additional amount equal to the value of HemaCare’s inventory of blood products on the closing date.  The parties also entered into a multi-year platelet purchase agreement pursuant to which HemaCare will sell to the American Red Cross a minimum of 7,000 units of single donor platelets per contract year.

As a result of the sale, HemaCare will effect a reduction in force of approximately 100 employees in California and Maine, and HemaCare will incur a third quarter charge of approximately $900,000 associated with this action.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



On July 11, 2011, HemaCare Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coral Blood Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Sellers”), completed the sale of the Sellers’ red blood cell collection operation assets (the “Assets”) in California and Maine to The American National Red Cross (the “Buyer”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 11, 2011 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).  The Assets included automobiles and equipment, finished goods and work-in-process inventory of blood products, a trademark and books and records relating to blood drive sponsors and blood donors.

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements of HemaCare Corporation are presented to comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and follow SEC prescribed guidelines.  The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to present what the Company’s results would have been had the disposition actually occurred on the dates presented or to project the Company’s results from operations for any future period.  The prescribed guidelines limit pro forma adjustments to those that are directly attributable to the disposition on a factually supportable basis.  Further, the guidelines do not allow for the pro forma effect of cost saving actions that could have been taken by management if the sale of assets had occurred in prior periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 presents the pro forma effects as if the sale had occurred on March 31, 2011.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 presents the pro forma effects as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2011.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 presents the pro forma effects as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2010.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed on Form 10-K on March 23, 2011, and the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011, filed on Form 10-Q on May 11, 2011.
