3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On February 25, 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell the assets of Domain.com, our wholly owned subsidiary, to A. Emmet Stephenson, Jr., Inc. (“Mr. Stephenson”) in exchange for cash of $7,075.  The assets of Domain.com consist of domain names, trademarks and corporation names.  We conducted an auction for the assets and received bids from multiple parties, including Mr. Stephenson.  Mr. Stephenson presented the highest bid, which represented the selling price, of $7,075 and the sale was completed effective February 25, 2009.  Mr. Stephenson is one of our co-founders, has managed the Domain.com subsidiary since 2006, and together with his wife, owned approximately 23.7% of our common shares outstanding as of February 15, 2012.  Because the transaction involved a related party, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.  The results of operations and cash flows of Domain.com have been reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) as discontinued operations.
