Can you give a context?
The only thing it suggests to me is that someone might be selling a professional practice, such as a doctor or lawyer. The 'state of the practice' could mean the number of patients/clients, annual turnover, value of assets and debts, etc.

The state of the practice is such that we will have to build a clinic.
(That means it's flourishing)
But it can also mean the opposite:
The state of the practice is such that we have decided to disband and open a car dealership instead.

Thanks very much everyone for your help. I don't have a context for it. My sister sent it to me in the e-mail asking for the meaning of it and I didn't know. So I decided to ask here. :-)
