Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On August 21, 1996 Isco acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed
selected liabilities of Suprex Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation
located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The acquisition was accomplished
pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated August 9, 1996 between
the parties. At the closing, Isco paid Suprex $2,850,000 for the assets and
assumed basically the trade payables of Suprex, subject to a $250,000 escrow
account hold-back to cover certain post-closing adjustments, including
warranty claims. The purchase price was arrived at through arms-length
negotiations among Isco, Suprex management, and Suprex' investment bankers.
Suprex manufactured a variety of super critical fluid extraction (SFE)
products, principally for use in the food products business. Isco intends to
add the SFE products to its existing line of SFE products. Isco did not
acquire, either by purchase or long term lease, any of the manufacturing
facilities utilized by Suprex and intends to relocate the manufacturing
assets to its plant in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Isco liquidated investment securities to obtain the cash to purchase the
Suprex assets.
