On March 1, 2010, as a result of market and strategic reasons, we decided to exit the negative-option marketing programs which were part of our Direct Segment with the acquisition of iLead in 2006. On June 3, 2010, we sold all of the gross assets of our Exact Supplements, LLC. Business (“Exact”). We have not recognized any gain or loss from the sale of Exact.

During the second quarter of 2008, we made a decision to divest our MSA operations. On September 24, 2010, we sold the assets of MSA and its related companies Rightstuff, Inc. and Checkup Marketing, Inc., all North Carolina corporations which were our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The purchase price of the assets was approximately $767,000, of which approximately $247,000 was paid at closing and the balance was paid in three equal installments of approximately $173,000 each during the 90 days following the closing. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser also assumed certain liabilities related to the purchased assets. To ensure orderly transition of the business, we agreed to provide the purchaser with hosting services at no cost for 90 days following the closing. The agreement contains customary indemnification, non-disclosure and non-solicitation provisions. All the proceeds received from the sale of MSA were used to reduce the term note with Wachovia. Additionally, we reported a non-cash charge to discontinued operations of approximately $1.5 million for the loss on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In July 2010, the Board of Directors approved the plan to sell our RESO business unit. On December 10, 2010, we closed the sale of the assets of RESO. The purchase price of the assets was $750,000, of which all was paid at closing less approximately $32,000 of working capital adjustments and $50,000 held in escrow for a period of one year. All the proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the term note with Wachovia. In addition, we reported a gain on the sale of RESO in discontinued operations of approximately $500,000.
