Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management anticipates that the wind-down process will be substantially completed by the end of 2019. A key contingency noted is the inability to currently estimate the specific costs or cash expenditures required for the exit. The company has committed to filing an amendment to this report once a good faith estimate of these amounts can be determined. The primary risk highlighted is the financial impact of the underperforming Health Integrated business and the uncertainty regarding the final cost of the exit strategy.
