4. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company accounts for business dispositions and its businesses held for sale in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations. ASC 205-20 requires the results of operations of business dispositions to be segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations in current and prior periods.

 

In December 2015, the Company completed the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of substantially all of the assets, goodwill and ongoing business comprising its CSO business to Publicis Healthcare Solutions, Inc., formerly known as Publicis Touchpoint Solutions, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2015, by and between the Buyer and the Company (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), for an aggregate cash purchase price at the closing of approximately $28.5 million (the “Closing Purchase Price”), subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, and the assumption by the Buyer of certain specified liabilities. The Closing Purchase Price included a $25.5 million cash payment (the “Base Cash Payment”), and an estimated closing date working capital adjustment cash payment of $3.0 million. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company was also entitled to receive an earn-out payment in 2017 equal to one-third of the 2016 revenues generated by the Commercial Services Business under certain specified contracts and client relationships, less the amount of the Base Cash Payment. The Company does not anticipate receiving this earn-out payment at this time. The Company recorded a $1.3 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The components of liabilities classified as discontinued operations relate to Commercial Services and consist of the following as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Company management is currently winding down certain legal entities which are no longer active within its corporate structure, none of which falls under the criteria of discontinued operations. However, this activity may result in the restructuring of past liabilities, which may result in further reductions based upon new estimates and third-party evaluations.
