Acquisitions

4. Acquisitions. On April 30, 2022, we acquired the Restore Endosystems Bifurcated Stent System pursuant to the terms of a unit purchase agreement we executed with the members of Restore Endosystems, LLC (“Restore Endosystems”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the unit purchase agreement, we paid $3 million in cash at closing. We also accrued $3.5 million of other long-term obligations, which represents the fair value of two separate $2 million payments which are payable no later than two and four years following the closing of the acquisition, respectively, or earlier upon the achievement of specified milestones. We impute interest on these liabilities with the passage of time. We have accounted for this transaction as an asset purchase and recorded $6.5 million of acquired in-process research and development expense, because the technological feasibility of the underlying research and development project has not yet been reached and such technology had no identified future alternative use as of the date of acquisition.

During April 2022, we paid $1.4 million to acquire shares of series A preferred stock of Fluidx Medical Technology, Inc. ("Fluidx"), owner of certain technology proposed to be used in the development of embolic and adhesive agents for use in arterial, venous, vascular graft and cardiovascular applications inside and outside the heart and related appendages. We had previously purchased, and continue to hold, $4.7 million of participating preferred shares of Fluidx. Our investments have been recorded as equity investments accounted for at cost and reflected within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because we are not able to exercise significant influence over the operations of Fluidx. Our total current investment in Fluidx represents an ownership of approximately 17% of its outstanding capital stock.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, we met the criteria requiring the final payment pursuant to our asset purchase agreement with QX Medical, LLC executed on December 15, 2011, for the acquisition of the intellectual property rights to certain support guide catheter technology. As of September 30, 2022, we recorded a liability of $1.0 million within accrued expenses based upon our obligation to pay the sales milestone payment in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement and capitalized a developed technology intangible asset.
