Commitments And Contingencies

NOTE 4 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During 2006, we engaged an outside consultant to assess our pricing programs under Medicare/Medicaid and other governmental pricing programs during the period from 2002 through the second quarter of 2006. In connection with this review, we identified additional liabilities related to discontinued operations for possible overbilling under Medicare/Medicaid and other governmental pricing programs. Our estimate of the remaining amounts due was approximately $1.1 million at September 24, 2011 and $1.5 million at December 25, 2010, which are included in the amounts recorded as current liabilities from discontinued operations. We intend to pay these obligations as they are re-billed to us.

We have agreements with our employees that include certain cash payments and equity-based award modifications in the event of a termination of employment or a termination of employment subsequent to a change in control of the Company.

Litigation

We are a party to legal proceedings that we believe to be ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business of present or former operations. It is management's opinion, based on the advice of counsel, that the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
