As of Oct. 28, Medical Staffing is consolidating its national branches by closing 20 per diem locations where local contract and VMS business opportunities are less evident. A majority of these closed branches will be serviced either from a nearby location or from a "virtual" office setting from the company's corporate location.
Medical Staffing anticipates that the loss of the closed locations' income from operations will be entirely offset by a reduction in salaries and related expenses for operations and corporate personnel. The company expects to incur a charge of approximately $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The charge will be comprised of about $1.0 million relating to severance costs and lease termination and about $5.7 million in non-cash goodwill impairment relating to the closure of the branches.
