Note 12 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As a result of our financial condition and inability to secure additional funding or significantly improve our liquidity position, management reevaluated its strategic plan.  Management developed and implemented a plan to scale back operations.  We could not support the working capital needs of four pharmacies, so management decided to close two pharmacies to reduce overall fixed pharmacy costs by 50% and concentrate our limited working capital on supporting the operations of the two remaining pharmacies that, we believe, have the best prospects. Management considered several factors in determining which two pharmacies to close, including historical financial performance, regulatory costs, current sales prospects, geographic and physical location and strength of existing physician relationships.  After consideration of these factors, management closed our Gresham, Oregon and Riverside, California pharmacies on August 5, 2013 and August 8, 2013, respectively.

 

We recorded approximately $743,317 in expenses related to the closing of the facilities, including lease costs, asset impairment and goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2013.  These closures met the discontinued operations criteria and, accordingly, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.  The Company’s loss from operations of discontinued pharmacies, net of tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively are detailed as follows:
