ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

ORGANIZATION

Finjan Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Finjan Holdings”), a Delaware corporation (formerly Converted Organics, Inc.), operates a cybersecurity business focused in four business lines: intellectual property licensing and enforcement, advisory services, mobile security application development and investing in cybersecurity technologies and intellectual property. Revenues and operations from the Company’s CybeRisk advisory services and the Company’s Finjan Mobile security business were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2015. Licensing and enforcement of the Company's cybersecurity patent portfolio is operated, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Finjan, Inc. ("Finjan"). Finjan became a wholly owned subsidiary of Finjan Holdings in June of 2013 after a merger transaction, following which the Company began trading on the OTC Markets. The Company’s common stock has been trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") since May 2014.

Finjan was founded in 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finjan Software Ltd. (“FSL”). FSL, together with its subsidiaries, sold enterprise web security solutions, including real-time and behavior-based malware prevention. In October 2003, FSL transferred all of its shares in Finjan to Finjan Software, Inc. (“FSI”). As a result of this transfer, Finjan became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSI (the “Former Parent”). On December 8, 2010, Finjan, Inc. changed its name to FI Delaware, Inc. On October 22, 2012, FI Delaware, Inc. changed its name back to Finjan, Inc.

In October 2009, FSI transferred its portfolio of intellectual property to Finjan (its wholly-owned subsidiary at the time). Thereafter, in November 2009, FSI sold certain assets, including certain of its operating subsidiaries, not including Finjan, and its sales and marketing assets to M86 Security (“M86”). Finjan also granted a fully-paid, non-exclusive patent license to M86, in consideration for which M86 issued shares of its common stock to Finjan and FSI. In connection with that transaction, and subsequent to November 2009, FSI and its remaining subsidiaries (including Finjan) ceased the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of its products, as well as research conducted through its Malicious Code Research Center as part of a confidential non-compete provision. Finjan retained ownership of its patents and all related rights. In March 2012, M86 merged with Trustwave Holdings, Inc. (“Trustwave”) through which M86’s license from Finjan was renewed with Trustwave to include an expanded scope and an extension of the non-compete for the development of software and hardware security products. In September 2015, Trustwave was acquired by Singapore Telecom (“SingTel”). Finjan’s agreement with Trustwave includes extended royalty obligations upon achievement of certain sales milestones. To date, Finjan has have not received any additional payments under the license.

In February 2013, Finjan distributed all securities it held in two unaffiliated entities to FSI, and made a payment of cash in an amount sufficient to repay and satisfy in full a pre-existing intercompany loan from FSI to Finjan. Following that distribution, the board of directors and stockholders of FSI approved the dissolution of, and a plan of liquidation for, FSI that resulted, among other things, in the distribution of Finjan's common stock to certain of FSI’s stockholders, whereby Finjan ceased to be a subsidiary of the Former Parent.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 4, 2014, the Company sold all its membership interest in Converted Organics, a wholly-owned subsidiary through which the Company operated its organic fertilizer business, to Converted Organics, LLC (the “CO Purchaser”). The sale was effected pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated December 4, 2014.

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, at the closing, the CO Purchaser paid the Company $675,000 in cash. As a result of the sale of Converted Organics, the Company no longer operates an organic fertilizer business. The Company continues to operate its cybersecurity business.

The acting manager of Converted Organics prior to the sale owns a minority interest in the CO Purchaser. Except for the Company's previous relationship with the acting manager, none of the Company, its officers, directors or affiliates has any relationship with the CO Purchaser, and the amount of consideration paid to the Company in connection with the transaction was determined by arms-length negotiations between the Company and the CO Purchaser, and not pursuant to any specific formula or principle.

The Company reclassified the operations applicable for Converted Organics to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax and after tax loss of $1.6 million on the disposal of Converted Organics in the last quarter of 2014, which was included in loss from discontinued operations.

The Company's board of directors approved the sale of, and the Company sold, its subsidiary Converted Organics on December 4, 2014. Results from the sale have been reported as discontinued operations because the Company has taken a strategic shift to move forward without Converted Organics and the Company no longer has any continuing involvement with, or cash flows from, this segment.

Loss from the discontinued operations was as per the following table:
