NOTE 12
Acquisitions
Creative Business Solutions, Inc.
In February 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Creative Business Solutions, Inc. ("Creative Business Solutions"), an Internet
solutions development company specializing in the integration of healthcare
information technology and contract programming solutions, and its majority
owned subsidiary, HealthWeb Systems, Ltd. ("HealthWeb"), an Internet software
and portal development company specializing in customized healthcare
applications. The Company also acquired the remaining minority interest in
HealthWeb. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was
allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
on the basis of their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
The purchase price of approximately $3.3 million consisted of approximately
$1.4 million in cash, 655,000 shares of common stock, notes payable of $270,000,
assumed liabilities of $527,000 and acquisition costs of approximately $100,000.
Included in the 655,000 shares of common stock issued in the acquisition were
131,000 shares held in escrow to secure indemnification obligations of the
Creative Business Solutions and HealthWeb shareholders. Such shares were
released from escrow in February 2001. Based upon an appraisal by an independent
valuation firm, the value of the 655,000 shares of common stock issued in the
acquisition was determined to be $1.1 million. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair market value of the net tangible assets acquired aggregated
approximately $2.5 million, of which $484,000 was allocated to acquired
in-process technology and $2.1 million was allocated to goodwill, acquired
workforce and customer list. An independent valuation was performed to determine
the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, including the portion of
the purchase price attributed to the acquired in-process technology. At the date
of acquisition, the Company determined the technological feasibility of
HealthWeb's product was not established, and accordingly, wrote off the
corresponding amount based on the percentage of completion at the acquisition
date to acquired in-process technology. Approximately $650,000 in research and
development had been spent by HealthWeb up to the date of the acquisition in an
effort to develop the technology to produce a commercially viable product and to
develop future releases with additional functionality, and the Company expected
to introduce the final product by the end of 1999. The actual expense associated
with the research and development of the HealthWeb product from the date of the
acquisition through the end of 1999, when the product was released, was
approximately $936,000.
Management and Technology Solutions, Inc.
In April 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities from
Management and Technology Solutions, Inc. ("MTS") in exchange for 60,000 shares
of common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The assets
included property and equipment, intellectual property, trademarks and licenses,
and computer software and software licenses. As part of this transaction, the
Company assumed liabilities consisting of lease obligations, a note payable and
certain other accrued liabilities.
Novalis Corporation
In November 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of the
Novalis Corporation ("Novalis"). The purchase price of approximately $18.2
million consisted of cash in the amount of approximately $5.0 million, 549,786
shares of common stock with a value of $16.37 per share, assumed liabilities of
$1.9 million and acquisition costs of approximately $2.3 million. Of the 549,786
shares of common stock which have been issued in connection with this
acquisition, 366,524 shares of the common stock were held in escrow until
November 2000, at which time 114,223 of the shares were returned to the Company
and cancelled and the balance of the shares were released.
The acquisition of Novalis was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
the assets purchased and liabilities assumed was $13.2 million, of which
$923,000 was allocated to acquired in-process technology, and was written off in
the year ended December 31, 1999, and $12.3 million was allocated to goodwill
and intangible assets consisting of assembled workforce, core technology and
customer lists. An independent valuation was performed to determine the fair
value of the identifiable intangible assets including the portion of the
purchase price attributed to in-process technology. As of the acquisition date,
Novalis was developing several enhancements to its proprietary software products
which
include claims processing, data warehouse, medical management, credentialing and
data processing softwares. At the date of the acquisition, the Company
determined the technological feasibility of these product enhancements was not
established and there was no alternative use and accordingly, wrote off the
corresponding amount based on the percentage of completion at the acquisition
date to acquired in-process technology. Approximately $535,000 in research and
development had been spent by Novalis up to the date of the acquisition in an
effort to develop the next releases of the in-process and core technology. The
future research and development expense associated with the in-process and core
technology was estimated to be approximately $490,000. The in-process and core
technology was scheduled to be released by June 30, 2000. The actual expense
associated with research and development of the next releases of these products
was approximately $486,000 and the various product release dates ranged between
March 1, 2000 and May 31, 2000.
Finserv Health Care Systems, Inc.
In December 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Finserv Health Care Systems, Inc. ("Finserv"). Finserv is a billing and accounts
receivable management company focusing on the outpatient sector of the
healthcare industry. The purchase price of approximately $5.8 million consisted
of cash in the amount of approximately $1.8 million, 48,998 shares of common
stock with a value of $30.61 per share, assumed liabilities of $1.5 million, and
acquisition costs of approximately $1.0 million. The agreement also provides
that an additional amount of shares, up to $750,000 in common shares (the
"earnout consideration"), may be issued to the Finserv selling securityholders
if certain milestones are achieved in the amount of up to $375,000 for each of
the years ending December 31, 2000 and 2001. The milestones were not achieved in
2000. As a result, the total of the potential milestone payment is reduced to up
to $375,000 in common shares. Of the 48,998 shares of common stock which have
been issued in connection with this acquisition, 20,000 shares of common stock
remain held in escrow until the parties can resolve a dispute regarding breaches
of representations and warranties.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair
values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed was $4.7
million and was allocated to goodwill.
Healthcare Media Enterprises, Inc.
In January 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Healthcare Media Enterprises, Inc. ("HME"). HME's primary business focus is on
software development, especially relating to the Internet, web design, and
business to business portals. The purchase price of approximately $7.2 million
consisted of cash in the amount of approximately $1.4 million, 87,359 shares of
common stock with a value of $38.66 per share, assumed liabilities of $191,000
and acquisition costs of approximately $266,000. In December 2000, an additional
91,954 contingent shares of common stock with a value of $17.04 were issued upon
the achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the original purchase
agreement and an additional 44,047 contingent shares of common stock were issued
in accordance with a market value guarantee. In January 2001, an additional
11,687 contingent shares of common stock with a value of $16.06 were issued in
accordance with certain revenue commitment guarantees in the original purchase
agreement. Of the 87,359 shares of common stock which were issued in connection
with this acquisition, 17,472 shares of common stock were held in escrow until
they were released in January 2001.
The acquisition of HME was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the
assets purchased and liabilities
assumed was $6.8 million, of which $536,000 was allocated to acquired in-process
technology, based upon an independent appraisal, and was expensed in the January
2000, and $6.3 million was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets
consisting of assembled workforce, core technology and customer lists. As of the
acquisition date, HME was developing several enhancements to its proprietary
software products for which technological feasibility had not been established
and for which there were no alternative uses. Accordingly, the Company expensed
the portion of the consideration allocated to in-process technology.
Approximately $1.4 million in research and development had been spent up to the
date of the acquisition in an effort to develop the next releases of the
in-process technology. The future research and development expense associated
with the in-process technology was estimated to be approximately $350,000, and
the in-process technology was scheduled to be released by September 2000. Since
the date of acquisition, the Company has decided to postpone the release of the
in-process technology, and has incurred no further research and development
expense related to the product.
In valuing HME's developed, in-process and core technologies, the Company
utilized the discounted cash flows method. The discounted cash flows method
includes an analysis of the completion costs, cash flows and risks associated
with achieving such cash flows. This income stream was tax effected and
discounted to its present value to estimate the value of the core and in-process
technologies. For purposes of this analysis, the Company used 20% and 25%
discount rates for the core and in-process technologies, respectively. These
discount rates are consistent with the risks inherent in achieving the projected
cash flows. The amount allocated to in-process technology was determined by
establishing the stage of completion of the in-process research and development
project at the date of acquisition.
Erisco Managed Care Technologies, Inc.
In May 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization with Elbejay Acquisition Corp. ("Elbejay") a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, IMS Health Incorporated ("IMS HEALTH"), and Erisco
Managed Care Technologies, Inc. ("Erisco") pursuant to which Elbejay would merge
with and into Erisco resulting in Erisco becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (the "Merger Agreement"). In October 2000, the Company consummated
the transaction, and Erisco became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Erisco is a leading provider of software to the managed care industry. The
purchase price of approximately $228.7 million consisted of 12,142,857 shares of
common stock with a value of $15.89 per share, assumed liabilities of $30.0
million, which includes $14.2 million of deferred tax liability resulting from
the difference between the book and tax basis of the intangible assets arising
as a result of the acquisition and acquisition costs of approximately $5.8
million. In addition, the Company issued 231,404 shares of restricted stock to
certain Erisco employees.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair
market values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair market value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed was
$188.1 million and was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets consisting of
assembled workforce, core technology, trademarks and customer lists.
Resource Information Management Systems, Inc.
On December 1, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Resource Information Management Systems, Inc., an Illinois
corporation ("RIMS"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 2, 2000 (the "Merger
Agreement") by and among TriZetto, Cidadaw Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of TriZetto, RIMS, the shareholders of
RIMS, and Terry L. Kirch and Thomas H. Heimsoth, and the First Amendment to
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 1, 2000 (the "First
Amendment"), by and among TriZetto, Cidadaw Acquisition Corp., RIMS, the
shareholders of RIMS, and Terry L. Kirch and Thomas H. Heimsoth. The acquisition
was effected by a merger (the "Merger") of Cidadaw Acquisition Corp. with and
into RIMS, with RIMS surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
TriZetto.
The purchase price of approximately $99.3 million consisted of cash in the
amount of $3.0 million, 2,588,427 shares of common stock with a value of $21.20
per share, the fair value of approximately 300,000 fully vested options assumed
of $4.7 million, assumed liabilities of $35.7 million, which includes $16.6
million of deferred tax liability resulting from the difference between the book
and tax basis of the intangible assets arising as a result of the acquisition
and acquisition costs of approximately $1.0 million. In addition, the Company
issued 82,553 shares of restricted stock to certain RIMS employees. Of the
2,588,427 shares of common stock which were issued in connection with this
Merger, 517,685 shares of common stock are held in escrow and are scheduled to
be released in December 2001.
According to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the shares
issued to effect the Merger are subject to lock-up restrictions such that 50% of
the shares are released on the one-year anniversary of the Merger and 12.5% of
the shares are released on the 15-month, 18-month, 21-month and two year
anniversaries of the Merger. If the average closing price of the Company's
common stock for the five trading days proceeding a lock-up release date is less
than $17.50, the Company shall issue an additional number of the Company's
common stock such that the total number of shares eligible for sale on the
lock-up release date (including shares sold prior to such date) has a value
equal to $45,297,466.10 multiplied by the aggregate percentage of shares of the
Company's common stock released as of such date, provided, however, that the
Company in no event, shall be required to issue more than 647,107 additional
shares. No effect has been included in the purchase accounting for the
additional shares which may be issued as a result of this contingency.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair
market values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair market value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed was
$86.2 million, of which $890,000 was allocated to acquired in-process
technology, based upon an independent appraisal, and was expensed in December
2000, and an estimated $85.3 million was allocated to goodwill and intangible
assets consisting of assembled workforce, core technology and customer lists.
Approximately $2.9 million in research and development had been spent up to the
date of acquisition in an effort to develop the next release of the four
products which represented the in-process technology. The future research and
development expense, associated with the in-process technology was estimated to
be approximately $900,000. The four products which represented the in-process
technology were scheduled to be released by December 2001.
In valuing RIMS' developed, in-process and core technologies, the Company
utilized the discounted cash flows method. The discounted cash flows method
includes an analysis of the completion costs, cash flows and risks associated
with achieving such cash flows. This income stream was tax effected and
discounted to its present value to estimate the value of the cored and
in-process technologies. For purposes of this analysis, the Company used 20% and
25% discount rates for the core and in-process technologies, respectively. These
discount rates are consistent with the risks inherent in achieving the projected
cash flows. The amount allocated to in-process technology was determined by
establishing the stage of completion of the in-process research and development
project as of the date of acquisition.
Upon the closing of the above transaction, the Company became contingently
liable for up to $745,000 related to costs to exit certain activities of the
acquired enterprise. Costs resulting from management's plan to involuntarily
terminate or relocate certain employees of the acquired entity will be finalized
in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. At December 31, 2000, the Company was still
in the process of formulating the details of these costs.
