Sale of Sleep Diagnostic Business
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.
