13. Subsequent Event


In October 2012, management made the decision to no longer pursue our PeopleSoft billing system implementation project in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Accordingly, based on the estimated costs to complete, management terminated the project at that time and will record pretax charges of approximately $3.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to write off previously capitalized costs associated with the PeopleSoft billing system. Because management had not made the decision to abandon the PeopleSoft billing system project until the fourth quarter, we have determined this matter to be a fourth quarter accounting event.
