Acquisitions	2. Acquisitions On January 21, 2016, the company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Liberator”), a publicly-held direct-to-consumer distributor of urological catheters, ostomy supplies, mastectomy fashions and diabetic medical supplies for a purchase price of $181.1 million. This acquisition enhances the company’s position in the home healthcare market in the United States. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the results of operations have been included in the company’s results since the acquisition date. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed results in the recognition of: customer relationships of $53.0 million; other intangibles of $26.0 million, primarily consisting of a trade name and non-compete agreements; deferred tax liabilities of $31.6 million, primarily associated with intangible assets; and other net assets of $11.9 million. The excess of the purchase price over fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $121.8 million. The goodwill recognized includes the value of expected market expansion in the home healthcare market through Liberator’s direct-to-consumer capabilities that provide additional opportunity for market penetration. Additionally, synergies are expected to result from the alignment of sales call points within the company’s sales organization. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Customer relationships and other intangible assets are being amortized over their weighted average estimated useful lives of approximately 12 years and 8 years, respectively. The company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting, which may be adjusted as further information about conditions existing at the acquisition date become available. On December 3, 2015, the company, through a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Embo Medical Limited (“Embo”), a privately-held company headquartered in Galway, Ireland, specializing in the development of peripheral embolization devices. The total purchase consideration included an up-front cash payment of $21.0 million and the fair value of future additional milestone payments of up to $22.5 million that are contingent upon specific regulatory and revenue-related milestones being achieved, which had a fair value of $16.6 million as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was recognized in the first quarter of 2016 for this foreign subsidiary. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of: an acquired in-process research and development asset (“IPR&D”) of $36.1 million related to the development of the Caterpillar^TM vascular plug device; goodwill of $4.4 million; and other net liabilities of $2.9 million. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the IPR&D asset was determined based upon the present value of expected future cash flows adjusted for the probability of technological and regulatory success, utilizing a risk-adjusted discount rate of 17.5%. The fair value of the future contingent consideration was determined utilizing a probability weighted cash flow estimate adjusted for the expected timing of the payment. The company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting, which may be adjusted as further information about conditions existing at the acquisition date become available.
