In February 2007, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated sold its Australia based domain name registry and web hosting subsidiary, Planet Domain. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires us to present the activities of the operations as discontinued operations. While activities are being reclassified in prior periods, gains or losses arising from the actual discontinuance of the business have been recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as discontinued operations. We are therefore updating our previously issued financial statements and certain other financial information originally reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006 10-K”). This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A of our 2006 10-K to recast the activities of the aforementioned business as discontinued operations.
Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A of our 2006 10-K are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated by reference herein.
