Discontinued Operations:

 

On January 23, 2017, the Company sold its then last significant business unit (its consumer products division) to ICTV Brands, Inc. This business was a substantial business unit of the Company and the sale brought a strategic shift in focus of management. The Company accordingly classified this former business as held for sale and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 360 “Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets” during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016. Such activity was also presented as discontinued operations in the 2017 consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognized a loss of $133 related to the discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of the sale of residual inventory to third parties of $79, which was reduced by write offs of various tax prepayments and liabilities related to the former businesses.
