$1 billion of the purchase price was allocated to previously unreported in-process research and development attributed to Vixen's products under development. The purchase price was low due to Vixen's poor performance in previous yearsVixen reported a retained earnings deficit of $2.15 billion as of the date of acquisition. To close the deal, Fiser agreed to pay the former owners of Vixen $2 for every dollar of total revenue above $50 million reported on sales of Vixen's products over the next two years. This payment, if made at all, would occur at December 31, 2016. Fiser expects that there is only a 10 percent chance the payment will be made, as follows:
