NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

During 2010, the Company ceased its operations in Brazil as a result of declining sales and increased regulatory restrictions, which made it difficult for the Company to register and sell key products in that market. This market was part of the Company’s NSP Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe segment.

 

The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations for the years:

The loss before income taxes related to the discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes a charge of $8,236 related to exiting Brazil, of which $7,364 was a non-cash write-off of accumulated translation adjustments that were previously included in shareholders’ equity.

 

The cash flows from our discontinued operations are included in the Company’s 2010 operating cash flow, but were insignificant.
