The first relates to the development of the next generation VERIGENE ® System, VERIGENE II, on which the Company began clinical trials in May 2018. The Company believes the VERIGENE II will launch commercially in 2019. The second is a defensive IP R&D project related to the Company’s next generation xMAP ® System, SENSIPLEX™, which the Company believes will launch commercially in 2020. The third relates to the development of the next generation Guava System, acquired as part of the Acquisition (Guava Next Gen System). The fair value of the Guava Next Gen System IP R&D project was determined using the income approach. The discount rate applied to the projected cash flows was 13.0%, which reflects the engineering and technical risks related to the projects. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change, based on the finalization of income tax matters. The Company believes the Guava Next Gen System will launch in the first quarter of 2020. The estimated costs to complete these IP R&D projects are approximately $7.9 million . The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands): 2019 (six months) $ 5,704 2020 11,406 2021 11,048 2022 9,801 2023 9,452 Thereafter 28,631 $ 76,042 |
