DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY [ABSTRACT] |
DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY [TEXT BLOCK] | (23)DECONSOLIDATION OF A SUBSIDIARY During the second quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that it no longer had controlling influence over Peppers & Rogers Gulf WLL (“PRG Kuwait”), a once consolidated subsidiary in the CSS segment, because the Company was no longer confident that it could exercise its beneficial ownership rights. U pon deconsolidation of PRG Kuwait, the Company wrote off all PRG Kuwait assets and liabilities resulting in a loss of $3.7 million which was recorded in Loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The $3.7 million loss included $1.3 million of goodwill allocated to PRG Kuwait immediately prior to deconsolidation based on PRG Kuwait’s relative fair value of the CSS segment. Effective April 2014, the Company entered into a stock and membership interest purchase agreement with PRG Kuwait’s other shareholder to sell its 48% interest in PRG Kuwait for $175 thousand. That agreement has not yet closed.
