13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Supplemental disclosures of the company's non-cash transactions are as follows:

Consideration for one of the Company's acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was a transfer of a 26.32% ownership interest in one of the Company's wholly owned home health agencies. The transfer of the noncontrolling interest in the Company's existing home health agencies was accounted for as an equity transaction, resulting in the Company recognizing additional paid in capital of $206,000 and additional noncontrolling interest of $294,000. Additionally, the Company acquired a majority ownership in three entities and recorded $1.2 million of noncontrolling interest related to the acquisitions.

In conjunction with the vesting of the non-vested shares of stock, recipients incur personal income tax obligations. The Company allows the recipients to turn in shares of common stock to satisfy those personal tax obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company obtained $1.1 million of treasury shares for tax payments on stock vestings.

The Company recorded $3.4 million as an unrecognized tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2011. See Footnote 6, Income Taxes for additional information regarding this unrecognized tax benefit.
