Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective September 30, 2003, Rural/Metro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) ceased operating in certain of its medical transportation and related services areas. The results of those service areas have been included in discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Net revenue for these service areas totaled $1.7 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These service areas generated a loss of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003, and net income of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2002. We do not expect there to be a negative financial impact from these transactions.
The assets used in the discontinued operations generally were not disposed of by the Company, but instead have been redeployed in other Company operations.
