ACQUISITIONS | 3. ACQUISITIONS We complete acquisitions from time to time in order to pursue our strategy of increasing our market presence by expanding our service base and enhancing our position in certain geographic areas as a leading provider of home health, hospice and personal care services. The purchase price paid for acquisitions is negotiated through arm's length transactions, with consideration based on our analysis of, among other things, comparable acquisitions and expected cash flows. Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and are included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Goodwill generated from acquisitions is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets because of the expected contributions of the acquisitions to our overall corporate strategy. We typically engage outside appraisal firms to assist in the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets. Preliminary purchase price allocation is adjusted, as necessary, up to one year after the acquisition closing date if management obtains more information regarding asset valuation and liabilities assumed. 2016 Acquisitions Personal Care Division On March 1, 2016, we acquired Associated Home Care which owns and operates 9 personal-care care centers servicing the state of Massachusetts for a total purchase price of $27.7 million, net of cash acquired (subject to certain adjustments), of which $0.5 million was placed in escrow for indemnification purposes and working capital price adjustments. The purchase price was paid with cash on hand on the date of the transaction. Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation, in connection with the acquisition, we recorded goodwill ($23.5 million) and other assets and liabilities, net ($4.2 million) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, we received the final report from our outside appraisal firm. As a result, we reduced our preliminary goodwill by $5.0 million and recorded corresponding increases in the fair value of assets acquired ($0.2 million), other intangibles – acquired names of business ($3.5 million) and other intangibles – non-compete agreements ($1.3 million). We expect the entire amount of goodwill recorded for this acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes over approximately 15 years. On September 1, 2016, we acquired the assets of Professional Profiles, Inc. which owns and operates 4 personal-care care centers servicing the state of Massachusetts for a total purchase price of $4.4 million, (subject to certain adjustments), of which $0.7 million was placed in a promissory note to be paid over 24 months, subject to any offsets or withholds for indemnification purposes. The purchase price was paid with cash on hand on the date of the transaction. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, we recorded goodwill ($4.2 million) and other intangibles – non-compete agreements ($0.2 million) in connection with the acquisition.
