DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY

(15)       DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that it no longer had controlling influence over Peppers & Rogers Gulf WLL (“PRG Kuwait”), a once consolidated subsidiary in the Customer Strategy Services segment, because the Company was no longer confident that it could exercise its beneficial ownership rights. Upon deconsolidation of PRG Kuwait, the Company wrote off all PRG Kuwait assets and liabilities resulting in a loss of $3.7 million which was recorded in Loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The $3.7 million loss included $1.3 million of goodwill allocated to PRG Kuwait immediately prior to deconsolidation based on PRG Kuwait's relative fair value of the Customer Strategy Services segment. The retained noncontrolling interest was recorded at fair value which was determined to be zero as the Company does not believe it will recognize any financial benefit from this interest.
