Acquisitions. On August 8, 2014, we entered into a license agreement and a distribution agreement with a medical device company for the right to manufacture and sell certain percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon catheter products. As of September 30, 2014, we had paid $2.0 million in connection with these two agreements. We are obligated to pay an additional $5.0 million if certain milestones set forth in the license agreement are reached. We accounted for the transaction as an asset purchase. Of the purchase price paid as of September 30, 2014, $200,000 was allocated to a distribution agreement asset, which we intend to amortize over a period of 5 years, and $1.8 million was allocated to a license agreement asset, which we intend to amortize over a period of 10 years.

On July 15, 2014, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire certain assets from a limited liability company. In connection with this agreement, we paid approximately $752,000. The primary assets acquired from this entity were manufacturing and export licenses. We accounted for the transaction as an asset purchase. We recorded the amount paid on the closing date as a license agreement asset, which we intend to amortize over a period of 10 years.

On May 8, 2014, we purchased 737,628 shares of the common stock of G Medix, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("G Medix"), for an aggregate price of approximately $1.8 million. Our purchase of the G Medix shares, which represents an ownership interest in G Medix of approximately 19%, has been accounted for at cost. We made a refundable advance to G Medix of $350,000 in 2013 that was credited against the final purchase amount, resulting in $1.45 million of cash purchase price paid to G Medix during 2014. G Medix develops catheter-based therapeutic devices.

On October 4, 2013, we acquired certain assets contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement we executed with Datascope Corp. ("Datascope"), a Delaware corporation. The primary assets we acquired consist of the Safeguard® Pressure Assisted Device, which assists in obtaining and maintaining hemostasis after a femoral procedure, and the Air-Band™ Radial Compression Device, which is indicated to assist hemostasis of the radial artery puncture site while maintaining visibility. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made a payment of approximately $27.5 million to acquire these assets. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income included in our 2013 Form 10-K, were not material. The results of operations related to the Datascope acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our net sales of Datascope products were approximately $1.6 million. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the Datascope acquisition, as we do not split out sales costs related to Datascope products, principally because our sales representatives sell multiple products (including Datascope products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):



Assets Acquired
Inventories	$	478
Intangibles
Developed technology	18,200
Customer lists	390
Trademarks	320
Goodwill	8,112

Total assets acquired	$	27,500

With respect to the Datascope assets, we are amortizing developed technology over ten years and customer lists on an accelerated basis over six years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is ten years.

On October 4, 2013, we acquired certain assets contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement with Radial Assist, LLC ("Radial Assist"), a Georgia limited liability company. The primary assets we acquired consist of the Rad Board®, Rad Board®Xtra™, Rad Trac™, and Rad Rest® devices. The Rad Board is designed to provide a larger work space for physicians and an area for patients to rest their arms during radial procedures. The Rad Board Xtra is designed to work in conjunction with the Rad Board by extending the usable work space and allowing for a 90-degree perpendicular extension of the arm for physicians who prefer doing procedures at a 90-degree angle. The Rad Trac is also designed to be used with the Rad Board and facilitates placement and removal of the Rad Board with the patient still on the table. The Rad Rest is a disposable, single-use product designed to stabilize the arm by ergonomically supporting the elbow, forearm and wrist during radial procedures. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made a payment of approximately $2.5 million to acquire these assets. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income included in the 2013 Form 10-K, were not material. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our net sales of Radial Assist products were approximately $191,000. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the Radial Assist acquisition, as we cannot split out sales costs related to Radial Assist products, principally because our sales representatives are selling multiple products (including Radial Assist products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):



Assets Acquired
Inventories	$	16
Intangibles
Developed technology	1,520
Customer lists	20
Trademarks	40
Goodwill	904

Total assets acquired	$	2,500

With respect to the Radial Assist assets, we are amortizing developed technology over ten years and customer lists on an accelerated basis over six years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 10.07 years.

In connection with our Datascope and Radial Assist acquisitions, we paid approximately $798,000 in long-term debt issuance costs to Wells Fargo Bank related to the amendment of our Credit Agreement (see Note 9). These costs consisted primarily of loan origination fees that we intend to amortize over the remaining contract term of our Credit Agreement, which matures on December 19, 2017.

The following table summarizes our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as well as unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations as though the Datascope acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013 (in thousands, except per common share amounts):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2013				September 30, 2013
	As Reported		Pro Forma		As Reported		Pro Forma
Net sales	$	115,210	$	116,971	$	329,033	$	334,317
Net income	5,607		5,788		10,030		10,572
Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	0.13	$	0.14	$	0.24	$	0.25
Diluted	$	0.13	$	0.14	$	0.23	$	0.25

The unaudited pro forma information set forth above is for informational purposes only and includes adjustments for amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets and interest expense on long-term debt. The pro forma information should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved if the Datascope acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013, or results that may be obtained in any future period. The pro forma consolidated results of operations do not include the pro forma effect of the Radial Assist acquisition, as we do not deem the pro forma effect of the Radial Assist transaction to be material.

The goodwill arising from the acquisitions discussed above consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale we expect to achieve from combining the acquired assets and operations with our historical operations (see Note 12). The goodwill recognized from these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
