DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 3, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to cease operations at five training sites in Florida.  The Company performed a cost benefit analysis on several schools and concluded that the training sites contained a high fixed cost component and had difficulty attracting a sufficient number of students due to high competition to maintain a stable profit margin. Accordingly, the Company ceased operations at these campuses as of December 31, 2014.  This was a strategic shift to close all of the Company’s training sites and all locations that do not accept Title IV payments.  The results of operations of these campuses are reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations at these five training sites for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
