Notes to Segments:
The Company’s reportable business segments are Global Voice Solutions (GVS), Global Data and Managed Services (GDMS), South Africa Operations and others. The composition of the reportable segments is as follows:
GVS includes International and National Long Distance Voice services.
GDMS includes Corporate Data Transmission services, data center, virtual private network signalling and roaming services, television and other network and managed services.
South Africa Operations are carried out by the Company’s subsidiary Neotel Pty Ltd. and comprise wholesale international voice and data transit, enterprise business solution services for the wholesale and corporate market, telephony and data services for retail customers in South Africa.
Others primarily comprise a Joint venture business.
Revenues and interconnect charges are directly attributable to the segments. Space segment utilization charges, rent of landlines and other network and transmission costs are allocated based on utilization of satellite and landlines. License fee for GVS and GDMS have been allocated based on net adjusted gross revenues from these services. Segment result is segment revenues less segment expenses. Certain costs including depreciation which are not allocable to GVS and GDMS have been classified as “Other Unallocable Expenses (net)”.
Telecommunication services are provided utilizing the Company’s assets which do not generally make a distinction between the types of services. As a result, fixed assets are used interchangeably between segments. In the absence of a meaningful basis to allocate assets and liabilities between segments, no allocation has been made.
