The results of discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 reflect ongoing costs associated with the state telecommunications excise tax and state corporate tax matters set forth in Note 11. We have agreed to indemnify the purchaser of our PGiSend messaging business, which was sold in 2010, for these pre-closing, residual liabilities.
