Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. - --------------------------------------------- (a) Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 1997 (the "Agreement"), HemaCare Corporation (the "Company" or "HemaCare") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Gateway Community Blood Bank, Inc. ("Gateway") entered into an agreement with Haemonetics Corporation ("Haemonetics") to sell substantially all the operating assets of Gateway to Haemonetics. The assets purchased by Haemonetics include product and supplies inventories, the right to use the name "Gateway Community Blood Bank, Inc.," furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements. In addition, HemaCare has agreed not to compete with Gateway for a period ending twelve months following the satisfaction by Haemonetics of all payment liabilities under the Agreement. The transaction closed on August 1, 1997, and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, HemaCare received an initial cash payment of $308,000 at closing. In addition, Haemonetics assumed approximately $218,000 of capital lease obligations and certain operating lease liabilities related to Gateway's operations. Transaction costs, primarily legal fees, are estimated at $53,000. Of the initial payment amount, $200,000 is a non- refundable advance against the Company's interest in Gateway's future revenue. The Company is entitled to receive a percentage of Gateway's revenues, as defined in the Agreement, over the five year period subsequent to August 1, 1997, not to exceed a total of $622,000. The terms of the sale provide for an additional $100,000 payment to HemaCare when Gateway receives a Food and Drug Administration blood establishment license. Item 7.
