Discontinued Operations

Certain of our subsidiaries previously operated in the European Union ("EU"). Those operations have ceased, but statutory requirements require a continued presence in the EU. Profits and losses generated from the remaining assets and liabilities are accounted for as discontinued operations.

We recognized net income (loss) from discontinued operations of $125,093 and ($1,709) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in income during the first quarter of 2013 is related to the favorable resolution of a tax audit.
