On September 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain assets comprising its Portamedic service line to Piston. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold assets associated with its Portamedic service line, including, among other things, fixed assets and intellectual property, to Piston, and Piston assumed certain specified liabilities (the “Portamedic Disposition”). The adjusted purchase price (the "Purchase Price") was approximately $8.1 million in cash, adjusted from $8.4 million at announcement due to changes in working capital, of which $2.0 million (the “Holdback Amount”) was held back by Piston as security for the Company’s obligations and agreements.

The Holdback Amount will be released as follows: within three business days after the date on which final closing adjustments for inventory and other current assets are determined and (the “Closeout Date”) (and after giving effect to any deductions from the Holdback Amount prior to such date), Piston will pay to the Company all amounts, if any, in excess of $1.0 million and the remaining $1.0 million of the Holdback Amount, less any deductions with respect to indemnification claims and any amounts in respect of any indemnification claims then in dispute, will be paid to the Company on the first anniversary of the Closeout Date. There cannot be any assurance that the Holdback Amount will be collected by the Company in full however, management currently expects to realize the amount in full and has recorded receivables in other current assets and other assets totaling $2.0 million.

The Company decided to sell its underperforming Portamedic service line and shift its focus towards the growth of its remaining health care service lines. In connection with the sale of Portamedic, the Company received $6.1 million of cash proceeds and incurred $0.9 million of financial advisory, legal and accounting fees, as of September 30, 2013. The Portamedic sale provides the Company with capital to invest in its Health and Wellness and Heritage Lab service lines. In addition, the Company retains the Portamedic accounts receivable and accounts payable, giving the Company over $9.4 million of working capital at September 30, 2013 to utilize in supporting wellness programs, clinical research and government studies.
