KINDRED HEALTHCARE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Kindred Healthcare, Inc. is a healthcare services company that through its subsidiaries operates a home health, hospice and community care business, transitional care (“TC”) hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation hospitals (“IRFs”), and a contract rehabilitation services business across the United States (collectively, the “Company” or “Kindred”). At September 30, 2017, the Company’s Kindred at Home division primarily provided home health, hospice, and community care services from 609 sites of service in 40 states. The Company’s hospital division operated 77 TC hospitals (certified as long-term acute care (“LTAC”) hospitals under the Medicare program) in 18 states. The Company’s Kindred Rehabilitation Services division operated 19 IRFs and 101 hospital-based acute rehabilitation units (“ARUs”) (certified as IRFs), and provided rehabilitation services primarily in hospitals and long-term care settings in 45 states.

Discontinued operations

The Company has completed several transactions related to the divestiture of unprofitable hospitals and nursing centers to improve its future operating results. The Company is also currently in the process of completing the SNF Divestiture (as defined and described more fully in Note 4). For accounting purposes, the operating results of these businesses and the gains or losses associated with these transactions were classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented in accordance with the authoritative guidance in effect through December 31, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, the authoritative guidance modified the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A disposal is now required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. See Notes 4 and 5.

Recently issued accounting requirements

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued authoritative guidance with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to better portray economic results and to simplify the application of the current hedge accounting guidance. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In May 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice when accounting for changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment to a single-step test. The guidance removes step two of the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. The measurement of goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Under the revised guidance, failing step one will always result in goodwill impairment. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. If the Company fails step one of the goodwill impairment test under the new guidance, the results could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations but not its business or liquidity.

In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that revises the definition of a business, which affects accounting for acquisitions, disposals, goodwill impairment, and consolidation. The guidance is intended to help entities evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The revision provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In November 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that simplifies the disclosure of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity when reporting restricted cash and requires entities to explain changes in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted balances in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement o
