Impairment of Software Development Costs
    
As part of the continuing integration of MTS, in the first quarter of 2013, we reorganized our management team, including the software development department, within the Medication Adherence segment. Through the end of the first quarter of 2013, the Medication Adherence segment had capitalized approximately $1.8 million of software development costs associated with a software solution under development which was intended to assist pharmacies in manual packaging of prescriptions. In connection with our financial statement close process for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations.
