Discontinued Operations

7. Discontinued Operations

During 2014, we discontinued the operation of all four of our retail stores, located in Huntington Beach, Santa Monica and Torrance, California and Chicago, Illinois, and our OnSale and eCost businesses. We reflected the results of these operations, which were historically reported as a part of our MacMall segment, as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. The revenues, operating and non-operating results of the discontinued operations are reflected in a single line item entitled “Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the related liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in a line item entitled “Current liabilities of discontinued operations” for all periods presented herein.

The carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities that have been included in such balance sheet line items, as described above, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows (in thousands):
