____________________________ 
(1) 
Included in the 2014 third quarter is a non-cash impairment charge of $27.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. The charge is primarily related to our Vetstreet reporting unit, see Note 5, Goodwill.

Additionally, the 2014 third quarter net income includes $1.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share related to costs incurred in conjunction with the new senior credit facility we entered into during that period.

(2) 
Included in the 2013 third quarter is a non-cash physical inventory adjustment in our Animal Hospital business segment which resulted in a $2.8 million credit adjustment to direct costs, or $0.02 per diluted share.

(3) 
Included in the 2013 first quarter we recorded a write-down to net realizable value of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to a vacant property that was held for sale and accrued costs totaling $2.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share related to a vacant leased property.

Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited), continued

Although not readily detectable because of the impact of acquisitions, our operations are subject to seasonal fluctuation. In particular, our Animal Hospital and Laboratory revenue historically has been greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters.

The demand for our veterinary services is significantly higher during warmer months because pets spend a greater amount of time outdoors, where they are more likely to be injured and are more susceptible to disease and parasites. In addition, use of veterinary services may be affected by levels of infestation of fleas, heartworms and ticks, and the number of daylight hours. A substantial portion of our costs for our veterinary services are fixed and do not vary with the level of demand. Consequently, our operating income and operating margins generally have been higher for the second and third quarters than that experienced in the first and fourth quarters.
