NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 28, 2013, the Board approved a plan to sell the HealthTronics business and the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the business on January 9, 2014 to Altaris Capital Partners LLC for an upfront cash payment of $85.0 million, subject to cash and other working capital adjustments. In addition, EHSI received rights to additional cash payments of up to $45.0 million based on the future operating performance of HealthTronics, of which no value has been recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements, for total potential consideration of up to $130.0 million. Additional cash payments, if any, will be recorded when earned. The sale was completed on February 3, 2014.

As previously disclosed, prior to the sale, at September 30, 2013, the Company had determined that a sale of the HealthTronics business was more-likely-than-not to occur over the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company initiated an interim goodwill impairment analysis of the HealthTronics reporting units' goodwill balances as of September 30, 2013. The fair value of the Urology Services and HITS reporting units were estimated using a number of factors including the fair value implied by the then ongoing sales process and previously prepared discounted cash flow analyses. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the net book value of both our Urology Services reporting unit and our HITS reporting unit exceeded their estimated fair value. The Company prepared a preliminary analysis to estimate the amount of an impairment charge as of September 30, 2013, and determined that an impairment was probable and reasonably estimable. The preliminary fair value assessments were performed by the Company taking into consideration a number of factors including the preliminary results of a hypothetical purchase price allocation. As a result of the preliminary analysis, the Company recorded a combined estimated goodwill impairment charge of $38.0 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing the difference between the estimated implied fair value of the HealthTronics reporting units' goodwill and their respective net book values. The Company finalized the impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2013 when it recorded charges of $118.9 million to write down the book value of the reporting units' assets to fair value less costs to sell. Subsequently, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has recorded a net loss of approximately $1.1 million, representing the carrying amount of the assets sold less the amount of the net proceeds received.

Until it was sold on February 3, 2014, the assets of this business segment, previously known as the HealthTronics segment, and related liabilities were classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Depreciation and amortization expense were not recorded on assets held for sale. The operating results of this business segment are reported as Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Financial results are only related to disposed of or to-be-disposed of businesses.
