Trade accounts receivable comprise gross contractual amounts due of CHF 1.9 million (2017: CHF 0.0 million), of which CHF 0.4 million (2017: CHF 0.0 million) was expected to be uncollectable at the acquisition date.
The acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method. The resulting goodwill includes expected synergies from the acquisition, the work force and potentially other intangible assets that could not be valued separately. Goodwill arising from these acquisitions is not expected to be tax deductible. The initial accounting for the acquisition in the current financial year is provisional and subject to change regarding the valuation of the trade accounts receivables and capitalized tax loss carry-forwards. Further analysis has to be performed in order to confirm the measurement.
3.2.2 Acquisition on August 31, 2018: NuGEN Technologies, Inc. (renamed to Tecan Genomics, Inc.)
The Group acquired 100% of the voting rights of NuGEN Technologies, Inc. (Redwood City/CA, US) on August 31, 2018. NuGEN is a provider for innovative next-generation sequencing (NGS) kits and genomic sample preparation solutions, with a focus on the North American market. The acquired company is part of the business segment ‘Life Sciences Business’.
3.2.3 Acquisition on February 28, 2017: Pulssar Technologies S.A.S.
The Group acquired 100% of the voting rights of Pulssar Technologies S.A.S (Paris, France) on February 28, 2017 to increase the technology portfolio of its ‘Partnering Business’.
At the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be CHF 1.7 million. The fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method with a discount rate of 11%. One payment in the amount of EUR 2.0 million was agreed with the seller upon the achievement of a sales-defined milestone in 2019. The underlying business plan indicated that the entire amount will be payable. At year-end 2018, however, the sales target was considered no longer achievable und the full earn-out liability was derecognized.
3.2.4 Acquisition on September 30, 2016: SPEware Group (renamed to Tecan SP, Inc.)
At the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be CHF 8.8 million. The fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method with a discount rate of 10%. Two payments in the amount of USD 5.0 million each were agreed with the seller upon the achievement of sales-defined milestones in 2017 and 2018. The underlying business plan indicated that the entire amount will be payable. There is no change to this assessment at year-end 2018. The first instalment in the amount of USD 5.0 million was paid at the beginning of 2018 and the remainder in the amount of USD 5.0 million is due in March 2019.

- The pre-acquisition period from January to August 2018 includes several million Sw iss Francs in non-recurring expenses for projects (including acquisition related costs) that the former ow ners had undertaken.
3.3 Disposal group held for sale

| Notes | 31.12.2017 | 31.12.2018 |

3.3.1 Situation in 2017
In the second half of 2016, management committed to a plan to sell its Hombrechtikon manufacturing facility after having transferred all business activities to Männedorf. Accordingly, the facility and the related mortgage were presented as a disposal group held for sale. Land and buildings were valued at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. At year-end 2017, the Group recognized an impairment charge on buildings in the amount of CHF 0.5 million in accordance with IFRS 5.
3.3.2 Situation in 2018
In the first half of 2018, the mortgage was repaid and the interest derivative settled. Efforts to sell the facility continue. However, a sale in the next 12 months is no longer considered highly probable. Consequently, the facility is classified as an investment property and valued at cost less accumulated depreciation (cost model). Due to the impairment charge recognized in the previous year, a catch-up of depreciation is not required. The rental income and maintenance cost are reported in other operating result.
