5. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used, and its assets to be disposed of, for possible impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  We also follow the applicable guidance in determining when to reclass assets to be disposed of to assets and related liabilities held for sale as well as when an operation disposed of or to be disposed of is classified as a discontinued operation in the statements of operations and the statements of cash flows.

As of June 30, 2011, the assets of the Company’s former Car Wash Segment consisted of three car washes. The sale of a Lubbock, Texas car wash that was under an agreement of sale at December 31, 2010 was completed on March 8, 2011.  On November 22, 2010, the Company sold the e-commerce division of its Digital Media Marketing Segment, Linkstar Corporation. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company made a decision to sell its warehouse located in Farmers Branch, Texas (the “Texas warehouse”) and has listed the warehouse with a real estate broker.

The results for the car wash operations and the discontinued Digital Media Marketing Segment’s operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and the statements of cash flows.  These classifications are based on the remaining car washes, the remaining component of the Digital Media Marketing business, Promopath, as well as the Texas warehouse, all currently being marketed and ready for sale or under an agreement of sale.  The Company’s Board of Directors is committed to a plan to dispose of the remaining car washes, the remaining component of the Digital Media Marketing business, and the Texas warehouse within the next twelve months.  The statement of operations and the statement of cash flows for the prior year have been restated to reflect the discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues from discontinued operations were $762,000 and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.6 million and $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Operating income (loss) from discontinued operations was $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $(3.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, including asset impairment charges of $3.4 million. Operating loss from discontinued operations was $(71,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $(4.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, including asset impairment charges of $3.5 million.
