NOTE 5 – SALE OF SLEEP DIAGNOSTIC BUSINESS
The
sleep diagnostic business was operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Continucare and was included in the acquisition of
Continucare. We do not consider the sleep diagnostic
business a core business of the ongoing organization and we
determined that we should focus our management efforts and
resources on expanding and growing our core PSN
business. On February 27, 2012, the Board of Directors
approved a plan to sell the sleep diagnostic business, and we have
retained an investment banking firm to assist us with the sale
process. We expect to complete the sale of a
significant portion of this business before the end of 2012 and
sell the remaining portion of the business in either the fourth
quarter of 2012 or the first portion of 2013.
As
a result, the sleep diagnostic business is reflected as a
discontinued operation in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and the December 31, 2011 balance sheet has
been retrospectively reclassified to reflect the assets and
liabilities of this business as held for sale. We did
not operate the sleep diagnostic business prior to October 4, 2011,
the date of the Continucare acquisition. Therefore, the
condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2011 have not been retrospectively reclassified.
The
current assets held for sale at September 30, 2012 consist
primarily of $1.0 million in cash, accounts receivable of $2.3
million and inventory of $1.0 million. Non-current
assets held for sale at September 30, 2012 consist primarily of
property and equipment of $1.3 million and intangible assets of
$2.9 million. Current liabilities held for sale consist
primarily of accounts payable and accrued payroll and payroll
taxes.
