Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On March 12, 1997, OrthoLogic Corp., a Delaware corporation ("OrthoLogic") acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of each of Danninger Medical Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DMTI"), and Danninger Healthcare, Inc., an Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMTI ("DHI, and together with DMTI, "Danninger"), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 12, 1997, which is filed as an exhibit to this report. OrthoLogic paid an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.0 million, consisting of approximately $9.0 million in cash from existing corporate resources and the assumption of approximately $4.0 million in debt. The acquisition was negotiated at arm's length between OrthoLogic and Danninger. Prior to the acquisition, none of the directors, officers or associates of Danninger, or their affiliates, were or are affiliated with OrthoLogic, its affiliates, its directors and officers and their associates. OrthoLogic is accounting for the acquisition of Danninger as a purchase. OrthoLogic is in the process of evaluating the current status and future integration of the operations, personnel and facilities of Danninger, and is planning on closing certain facilities and terminating or relocating certain employees. The costs related to these activities have not been estimated. Accordingly, OrthoLogic cannot determine or allocate the total purchase price at this time.
