Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations represents the gain or loss from the sale of divisions of a business that have been sold or written off by the company. In order to classify such a sale or write-down as a discontinued operation, the company may no longer be engaged in the activity (such as producing products in the same product line) that it has discontinued.
