The sale of certain assets and liabilities of TPOS was the result of management’s decision during the third quarter of 2010 to divest non-strategic businesses and focus resources on core products and services. The Company had a pre-tax goodwill impairment of $2.2 million (approximately $1.5 million after-tax) related to TPOS, which was included in discontinued operations as part of the sale. TPOS was part of the Merchant Services segment and was not considered a significant component of the segment.
