Segment Information

NOTE K – SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have two reportable operating segments. These segments are M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and Other Services. The M2M segment is made up of all our cellular and satellite machine-to-machine communications hardware and services. The Other Services segment includes our video conferencing hardware and installation of telecommunications equipment.

Our chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, the business is principally managed on a segment basis, with the CEO evaluating performance based upon segment operating income or loss that includes an allocation of common expenses, but excludes certain unallocated expenses. The CEO does not view segment results below operating income (loss) before unallocated costs, and therefore unallocated expenses, interest income and other, net, and the provision for income taxes are not broken out by segment. Items below segment operating income or loss are reviewed on a consolidated basis.

 

Summarized below are our revenues and operating income (loss) by reportable segment. Prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Certain corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on segment revenues.
