Discontinued Operations:

Discontinued Operations:

   A component of the Companies is classified as a discontinued operation when (i) the operations and cash flows of the component of the Companies can be clearly distinguished and have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations; (ii) the component has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale; and (iii) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component of the Companies after the disposal transactions.  Significant judgments are involved in determining whether a component meets the criteria for discontinued operations reporting and the period in which these criteria are met.   If a component of the Companies is reported as a discontinued operation, the results of operations through the date of sale, including any gain or loss recognized on the disposition, are presented on a separate line of the income statement.
