Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

In September 2014, we completed the sale of our collateral solutions and field services businesses, which were included in the former reporting segment Asset Management and Processing Solutions ("AMPS"). In September 2012, we completed the wind down of our consumer services business and our appraisal management company business, which were included in our PI and Risk Management and Work Flow ("RMW") segments, respectively. In September 2011, we closed our marketing services business, which was included in our PI segment. In December 2010, we completed the sale of our Employer and Litigation Services businesses ("ELI").

In connection with previous divestitures, we retain the prospect of contingent liabilities for indemnification obligations or breaches of representations or warranties. With respect to one such divestiture, a jury recently returned an unfavorable verdict against a discontinued operating unit that, if upheld on appeal, could result in the reasonable possibility of indemnification exposure up to $25.0 million, including interest. We do not consider this outcome to be probable and intend to vigorously assert our contractual and other rights, including to pursue an appeal to eliminate or substantially reduce any potential post-divestiture contingency. Any actual liability that comes to fruition would be reflected in our results from discontinued operations.

Each of these businesses is reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a gain of $4.5 million related to a pre-tax legal settlement in AMPS within our discontinued operations. Summarized below are certain assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
