ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS, AND LICENSES
PROLOR acquisition
In April 2013, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “PROLOR Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which we will acquire PROLOR Biotech, Inc. (“PROLOR”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing longer-acting proprietary versions of already approved therapeutic proteins, in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of PROLOR common stock will receive 0.9951 shares of our Common Stock for each share of PROLOR common stock. Based on a price of $7.03 per share of our Common Stock, the transaction is valued at approximately $480 million, or $7.00 per share of PROLOR common stock. The companies expect the transaction to be completed during the second half of 2013. Closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions including, the approval of PROLOR’s and our stockholders and other customary closing conditions. Dr. Phillip Frost, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is PROLOR’s Chairman of the Board and a greater than 5% stockholder of PROLOR. Dr. Jane H. Hsiao, our Vice Chairman and Chief Technology Officer and Mr. Steven Rubin, our Executive Vice President, Administration, are both directors of PROLOR and less than 5% stockholders of PROLOR. The Board of Directors of each of OPKO and PROLOR (with the directors noted above abstaining) have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. In addition, the transaction was also approved by PROLOR’s Strategic Alternatives Committee.
Cytochroma acquisition
In March 2013, we acquired Cytochroma, a corporation located in Markham, Canada, whose lead products, both in Phase 3 development, are RayaldyTM, a vitamin D prohormone to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease and vitamin D insufficiency, and AlpharenTM, a non-absorbed phosphate binder to treat hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients (the “Cytochroma Acquisition”).
In connection with the Cytochroma Acquisition, we delivered 20,517,030 of shares of our Common Stock valued at $146.9 million based on the closing price per share of our Common Stock as reported by the NYSE on the actual closing date of the acquisition, or $7.16 per share. The number of shares issued was based on the volume-weighted average price per share of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the purchase agreement for the Cytochroma Acquisition, or $4.87 per share. The Cytochroma Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
In addition, the Cytochroma Acquisition requires payments of up to an additional $190.0 million in cash or additional shares of our Common Stock, at our election, upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to development and annual revenue. As a result, we recorded $47.7 million as contingent consideration. We evaluate the contingent consideration on an ongoing basis and the changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings until the milestones are achieved. Refer to Note 8.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Cytochroma at the date of acquisition, which are subject to change while contingencies that existed on the acquisition date are resolved:

OPKO Brazil asset acquisition
In February 2013, we acquired the assets of OPKO Brazil, a Brazilian pharmaceutical company, pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into on December 26, 2012. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we paid $0.3 million in cash and delivered 64,684 shares of our Common Stock at closing valued at $0.4 million based on the closing price per share of our Common Stock as reported by the NYSE on the actual closing date of the acquisition, or $6.73 per share. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing price per share of Common Stock as reported on the NYSE for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the execution of the purchase agreement, or $4.64 per share.
We accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. As a result we recorded the assets at fair value, with most of the value being allocated to the most significant asset, its pharmaceutical business licenses.
OURLab acquisition
In October 2012, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire OURLab, a Nashville-based CLIA laboratory. In December 2012, we paid $9.4 million in cash and delivered 7,072,748 shares of our Common Stock at closing valued of $32.9 million based on the closing sales price per share of our Common Stock as reported by the NYSE on the actual closing date of the acquisition, or $4.65 per share. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing price per share of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE for the 15 trading days immediately preceding the execution of the purchase agreement, or $4.33 per share. Pursuant to the merger agreement, 1,732,102 shares of Common Stock issued in the transaction are being held in a separate escrow account to secure the indemnification obligations of OURLab.
Farmadiet acquisition
In August 2012, we entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Farmadiet Group Holding, S.L. (“Farmadiet”), a Spanish company engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and veterinary products in Europe (the “Farmadiet Transaction”).
In connection with the Farmadiet Transaction, we agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of €13.5 million (approximately $16.0 million), of which (i) 50% ($8.4 million) was paid in cash at closing, and (ii) 50% (the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid, at our option, in cash or shares of our Common Stock as follows: (x) 25% to be paid on the first anniversary of the closing date; and (y) 25% to be paid 18 months after the closing date. On the date of acquisition, we recorded the €6.8 million Deferred Payments at $7.8 million, net of a discount of $0.6 million. The discount will be amortized as interest expense through the respective payment dates. The Deferred Payments are required to be paid in Euro and as such, the final U.S. dollar amount to be paid will be based on the exchange rate at the time the Deferred Payments are made. In the event we elect to pay the Deferred Payments in shares of our Common Stock, the number of shares issuable shall be calculated using the average closing price per share of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the applicable payment date. On August 2, 2013, we issued 585,703 shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with the first Deferred Payment. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing price per share of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE for the 10 trading days up to and including August 1, 2013, or $7.61 per share. We have the right to hold back up to €2.8 million (approximately $3.6 million as of June 30, 2013) from the Deferred Payment to satisfy indemnity claims.
In connection with the Farmadiet Transaction, we also entered into two ancillary transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”). In exchange for a 40% interest held by one of the sellers in one of Farmadiet’s subsidiaries, we agreed to issue up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our Common Stock, of which (a) 125,000 shares were issued on the closing date, and (b) 125,000 will be issued upon achieving certain milestones. In addition, we acquired an interest held by an affiliate of Farmadiet in a product in development in exchange for which we agreed to pay up to an aggregate of €1.0 million ($1.3 million) payable at our option in cash or shares of our Common Stock, of which (a) 25% ($0.3 million) was paid at closing through delivery of 70,421 shares of our Common Stock, and 75% ($1.0 million) will be paid in cash or shares of our Common Stock upon achieving certain milestones. As a result, we recorded $1.2 million as contingent consideration for the future consideration. We evaluate the contingent consideration on an ongoing basis and the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings until the milestones are achieved. Refer to Note 8. The final U.S. dollar amount to be paid will be based on the exchange rate at the time the milestones are achieved. The number of shares of our Common Stock issued is determined based on the average closing sales price for our Common Stock on the NYSE for the 10 trading days preceding the required payment date.
ALS acquisition
In April 2012, we completed the acquisition of ALS Distribuidora Limitada (“ALS”), a privately-held Chilean pharmaceutical company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into in January 2012. In connection with the transaction, we agreed to pay up to a total of $4.0 million in cash to the sellers. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we paid (i) $2.4 million in cash at the closing, less certain liabilities, and (ii) $0.8 million in cash at the closing into a separate escrow account to satisfy possible indemnity claims. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid the remaining $0.8 million that we had agreed to pay upon the legal registration in the name of ALS of certain trademarks and product registrations previously held by the former owner of ALS, Arama Laboratorios y Compañía Limitada.

Neovasc
In 2011, we made an investment in Neovasc, a medical technology company based in Vancouver, Canada. We invested $2.0 million and received two million Neovasc common shares, and two-year warrants to purchase an additional one million shares for $1.25 a share. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we exercised the warrants and paid $1.2 million. We accounted for the warrants as an investment, available for sale and recorded the warrants at fair value on the date of acquisition. We recorded the changes in the fair value of the warrants in Fair value changes of derivatives instruments, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
2013 licensing agreements
An element of our growth strategy is to leverage our proprietary technology through a combination of internal development, acquisition, and external partnerships to maximize the commercial opportunities for our portfolio of proprietary pharmaceutical and diagnostic products.
Pharmsynthez transactions
On April 18, 2013, we entered into a series of concurrent transactions with OAO Pharmsynthez (“Pharmsynthez”), a Russian pharmaceutical company traded on the Moscow Stock Exchange. The transactions consisted of:
We delivered approximately $9.6 million. to Pharmsynthez.
Pharmsynthez issued to us approximately 13.6 million of its common shares.
Pharmsynthez agreed, at its option, to issue approximately 12.0 million shares of its common shares to us or to pay us Russian Rubles (“RUR”) 265.0 million ($8.1 million) on or before December 31, 2013 (the "Pharmsynthez Note Receivable").
We have a right to purchase additional shares in Pharmsynthez at a fixed price if Pharmsynthez pays us in cash rather than delivering to us the 12.0 million shares of Pharmsynthez common shares (the “Purchase Option”). 
We granted rights to certain technologies in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belorussia, Azerbaidjan and Kazakhstan (the “Territories”) to Pharmsynthez. 
We will receive from Pharmsynthez royalty on net sales of products incorporating the technologies in the Territories, as well as a percentage of any sublicense income from third parties for the technologies in the Territories.
Pharmsynthez will pay us $9.5 million under the various collaboration and funding agreements for the development of the technologies (the “Collaboration Payments”).
We recorded the initial shares received in Pharmsynthez as an equity method investment.  We recorded the Pharmsynthez Note Receivable, and the Purchase Option, as financial instruments and elected the fair value option for subsequent measurement. Changes in the fair value of the receivable from Pharmsynthez for its common stock or RUR, with the embedded derivative, and the Purchase Option are recorded in Fair value changes of derivative instruments, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013
We have accounted for the license and development activities as a multi-element arrangement, and allocated the total arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the elements. We will record the allocated consideration for development activities as an offset to Research and development expenses over the three-year term of the Collaboration Payments.  We will record revenue in connection with the grant of rights to the technologies proportionately as the payments are received.  
RXi transactions
In March 2013, we completed the sale to RXi of substantially all of our assets in the field of RNA interference (the “RNAi Assets”) (collectively, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). As consideration for the RNAi Assets, at the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, RXi issued to us 50 million shares of its common stock (the “APA Shares”). In accounting for the sale of the RNAi Assets, we determined that we did not have any continuing involvement in the development of the RNAi Assets or any other future performance obligations and, as a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized the APA Shares as $12.5 million of revenue from transfer of intellectual property in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, RXi will be required to pay us up to $50.0 million in milestone payments upon the successful development and commercialization of each drug developed by RXi, certain of its affiliates or any of its or their licensees or sublicensees utilizing patents included within the RNAi Assets (each, a “Qualified Drug”). In addition, RXi will also be required to pay us royalties equal to: (a) a mid single-digit percentage of “Net Sales” (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) with respect to each Qualified Drug sold for an ophthalmologic use during the applicable “Royalty Period” (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); and (b) a low single-digit percentage of net sales with respect to each Qualified Drug sold for a non-ophthalmologic use during the applicable royalty period.
In addition to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased 17,241,380 shares of RXi, for $2.5 million, as part of a $16.4 million financing for RXi, which included other related parties. We have determined that our ownership, along with that of our related parties, provides us the ability to exercise significant influence over RXi operations and as such we have accounted for our investment in RXi under the equity method.
Investments in variable interest entities
We have determined that we hold variable interests in Fabrus, Inc. (“Fabrus”), Biozone Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“BZNE”) and SciVac Ltd ("SciVac"), previously known as SciGen (I.L.) Ltd. We made this determination as a result of our assessment that they do not have sufficient resources to carry out their principal activities without additional financial support.
In order to determine the primary beneficiary of BZNE, we evaluated our investment and our related parties’ investments, as well as our investment combined with the related party group’s investments to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of BZNE. We determined that power to direct the activities that most significantly impact BZNE’s economic performance is conveyed through the board of directors of BZNE and no entity is able to appoint the BZNE governing body that oversees its executive management team. Based on the capital structure, governing documents and overall business operations of BZNE, we determined that, while a VIE, no single entity has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact BZNE’s economic performance. However, we determined that we and our related parties can significantly influence the success of BZNE through our voting power. As such, we account for investment in BZNE under the equity method.
In order to determine the primary beneficiary of Fabrus, we evaluated our investment and our related parties’ investment, as well as our investment combined with the related party group’s investment to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fabrus. We determined that power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Fabrus’s economic performance is conveyed through the board of directors of Fabrus as no entity is able to appoint the Fabrus governing body that oversees its executive management team. Based on the capital structure, governing documents and overall business operations of Fabrus, we determined that, while a VIE, no single entity has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Fabrus’s economic performance. We did determine, however, that our related parties can significantly influence the success of Fabrus through our board representation and voting power. Accordingly, as we and our related parties have the ability to exercise significant influence over Fabrus’ operations, we account for our investment in Fabrus under the equity method.
Consolidated variable interest entities
In June 2012, we entered into a share and debt purchase agreement whereby in exchange for $0.7 million we acquired shares representing a 45% stock ownership in SciVac from FDS Pharma LLP (“FDS”). SciVac is a privately-held Israeli company that produces a third-generation hepatitis B-vaccine. In November 2012, March 2013 and May 2013, we loaned to SciVac a combined $1.2 million for working capital purposes. We have determined that we hold variable interests in SciVac based on our assessment that SciVac does not have sufficient resources to carry out its principal activities without financial support. In order to determine the fair market value of our investment in SciVac, we have utilized a business enterprise valuation approach.
In order to determine the primary beneficiary of SciVac, we evaluated our investment to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of SciVac. We have determined that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of SciVac is conveyed through SciVac’s board of directors. SciVac’s board of directors appoint and oversee SciVac’s management team who carry out the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of SciVac. As part of the share and debt purchase agreement, SciVac’s board of directors is constituted by 5 members, of which 3 members will be appointed by us, representing 60% of SciVac’s board. Based on this analysis, we determined that we have the power to direct the activities of SciVac and as such we are the primary beneficiary. As a result of this conclusion, we have consolidated the results of SciVac and record a reduction of equity for the portion of SciVac we do not own.
The following table represents the consolidated assets and non-recourse liabilities related to SciVac as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These assets are owned by, and these liabilities are obligations of, SciVac, not us.
