DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NOTE 3 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Noncurrent liabilities from discontinued operations include an uncertain tax liability related to the country of Venezuela. Expenses incurred for in-country obligations are reported as discontinued operations within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

The activity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily due to the remeasurement of an uncertain tax liability as a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar.  Early in 2018, the Venezuelan government announced that it changed the existing dual-rate foreign currency exchange system by eliminating its heavily subsidized foreign exchange rate, which was 10 Bolivars per United States dollar, and relaunched an exchange system known as DICOM. The Venezuelan government also established a new currency called the “Sovereign Bolivar,” which was determined by the elimination of five zeros from the old currency. The DICOM floating rate was approximately 4,181,782 and 3,220,598 Bolivars per United States dollar at September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively. In October 2021, the Venezuelan government launched another monetary overhaul by cutting six zeros from the Bolivar in response to hyperinflation and to simplify accounting. As such, as of June 30, 2022, the DICOM floating rate was approximately six Bolivars per United States dollar. The DICOM floating rate might not reflect the barter market exchange rates.
