Note 16. Asset Impairment

Impairment of Software Development Costs
    
As part of the continuing integration of MTS, during the first quarter of 2013, we reorganized our management team, including the software development department within the Non-Acute Care segment. The Non-Acute Care segment had capitalized approximately $1.8 million of software development costs through the end of the first quarter of 2013 associated with a software solution under development which was intended to assist pharmacies in manual packaging of prescriptions. In connection with its financial statement close process for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, management reassessed the viability of this project and the net realizable value of capitalized costs in light of its decision to change the related product road map and redesign this product based on evolving market demands. As part of this redesign process, new functionality and capabilities will need to be added to the product before commercialization. This redesign is intended to provide a more robust global platform providing larger scalability and significant functionality not contained in our current beta version. As such, we have determined we can no longer support the technological feasibility of this project in conjunction with our software capitalization policy. Therefore, we charged these costs, in the amount of $1.8 million ($0.03 per diluted share, net of tax), to expense as a component of research and development in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of operations.
