4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


PGiSend


On October 21, 2010, we completed the sale of our PGiSend messaging business to EasyLink Services International Corporation, or EasyLink, for an aggregate purchase price of $105.0 million, with a working capital target that was finalized in the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an additional payment from EasyLink of $1.8 million. Prior period operating results have been reclassified to present this business as discontinued operations.


Maritime Notification and Reminder Solutions


During the year ended December 31, 2010, we classified our Maritime Notification and Reminder solutions operations as a disposal group held for sale. This disposal group consists of all customers using these non-conferencing, ship-to-shore communication services targeted specifically towards shipping vessels that we resell through our Japanese subsidiary. All assets and liabilities of this disposal group have been classified separately as of December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets of the disposal group held for sale consisted of accounts receivable of $3.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, net of allowances of $0.3 million. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, liabilities of the disposal group held for sale consisted of $3.2 million and $3.1 million of accounts payable, respectively. We expect this disposal to be completed prior to December 31, 2011. Prior period operating results have been reclassified to present this business as discontinued operations.


PGiMarket


On November 5, 2009, we completed the sale of our PGiMarket business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received $0.7 million in cash for the achievement of certain revenue targets in 2010 under an earn-out provision in the sale agreement.


Components of Discontinued Operations


We allocated interest expense related to our $50.0 million Term A loan, which was required to be repaid as a result of our PGiSend sale, to discontinued operations in 2010. The following amounts associated with our discontinued businesses have been segregated from continuing operations and are reflected as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):


    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
    September 30,   September 30,
    2011   2010   2011   2010
Net revenue from discontinued operations   $ 1,174     $ 32,757     $ 8,735     $ 100,317  
                                 
Income (loss) from operations     (540 )     4,595       (486 )     11,632  
Interest expense     (9 )     (370 )     (70 )     (1,171 )
Income (loss) from disposal     (9 )     —         9     —    
Income tax benefit (expense)     7,293       (1,437 )     7,287       (4,470 )
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes   $ 6,735     $ 2,788     $ 6,740     $ 5,991  

The results of discontinued operations include an income tax benefit of $7.3 million. This benefit includes approximately $6 million relating to changes in estimates of the tax provision that resulted from the finalization of the actual tax basis purchase price allocation received in the third quarter from EasyLink in connection with our PGiSend sale and $1 million for a correction of a valuation allowance previously recorded in 2011.
