In the year ended December 31, 2013, we ceased all business activities in our subsidiary Net Enforcers, which was included in our Online Brand Protection Segment. We determined that Net Enforcers met the requirements for classification as a discontinued operation under U.S. GAAP and we have recast our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $9 thousand and $275 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, on March 10, 2014, we made the determination to cease ongoing operations at our subsidiary Intersection Business Intelligence Services (D/B/A Zumetrics®). These operations are expected to wind down and cease during the three months ending June 30, 2014. We plan to classify Zumetrics® as a discontinued operation at the time it meets the requirements under U.S. GAAP and thereafter, will no longer have a Market Intelligence segment.
