Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 12. SEGMENT REPORTING: (a) We are organized and managed based on two segments, which are differentiated primarily by their services, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. The two segments are Network Access Services and Domain Services are described as follows: 1. Network Access Services - This segment derives revenue from the sale of retail mobile phones and services to individuals and small businesses through the Ting website, as well as provides high speed Internet access, Internet hosting and network consulting to customers in Central Virginia through its acquisition of a 70% share in Ting Virginia, LLC. Revenues are generated in the United States. 2. Domain Services – This segment includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, value added services and portfolio services. The Company primarily earns revenues from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations; the sale of retail Internet domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses; and by making its portfolio of domain names available for sale or lease. Domain Services revenues are attributed to the country in which the contract originates, primarily Canada. The Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker and regularly reviews the operations and performance by segment. The chief operating decision maker reviews gross margin as a key measure of performance for each segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Sales and marketing expenses, technical operations and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation of property and equipment, loss on disposition of property and equipment, amortization of intangibles, loss (gain) on currency forward contracts, other income (expense), and provision for income taxes, are organized along functional lines and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability. Total assets and total liabilities are centrally managed and are not reviewed at the segment level by the chief operating decision maker. Information by reportable segments, which is regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker is as follows: Domain Name Services Network Access Services Consolidated Totals Three months ended September 30, 2015 Net Revenue $ 28,011,427 $ 16,540,482 $ 44,551,909 Cost of Revenues 19,568,741 9,211,141 28,779,882 Gross Profit before network expenses 8,442,686 7,329,341 15,772,027 Network expenses 1,756,977 Gross Profit 14,015,050 Expenses: Sales and marketing 4,740,662 Technical operations and development 1,101,581 General and administrative 2,607,916 Depreciation of property and equipment 63,790 Amortization of intangibles 56,997 Impairment of indefinite life intangible assets 18,550 Loss on currency forward contracts 352,738 Income from operations 5,072,816 Other expenses, net 78,959 Income before provision for income taxes $ 4,993,857 Domain Name Services Network Access Services Consolidated Totals Nine months ended September 30, 2015 Net Revenue $ 83,023,497 $ 44,885,465 $ 127,908,962 Cost of Revenues 58,796,993 25,054,935 83,851,928 Gross Profit before network expenses 24,226,504 19,830,530 44,057,034 Network expenses 4,968,938 Gross Profit 39,088,096 Expenses: Sales and marketing 13,387,800 Technical operations and development 3,405,052 General and administrative 7,826,405 Depreciation of property and equipment 185,074 Amortization of intangibles 167,209 Impairment of indefinite life intangible assets 68,848 Loss on currency forward contracts 681,988 Income from operations 13,365,720 Other expenses, net 161,136 Income before provision for income taxes $ 13,204,584 Domain Name Services Network Access Services Consolidated Totals Three months ended September 30, 2014 Net Revenue $ 29,125,494 $ 9,748,689 $ 38,874,183 Cost of Revenues 20,191,680 5,794,195 25,985,875 Gross Profit before network expenses 8,933,814 3,954,494 12,888,308 Network expenses 1,311,534 Gross Profit 11,576,774 Expenses: Sales and marketing 3,593,486 Technical operations and development 1,041,136 General and administrative 2,727,626 Depreciation of property and equipment 58,685 Amortization of intangibles 107,230 Impairment of indefinite life intangible assets - Loss on currency forward contracts 150,227 Income from operations 3,898,384 Other expenses, net 63,498 Income before provision for income taxes $ 3,834,886 Domain Name Services Network Access Services Consolidated Totals Nine months ended September 30, 2014 Net Revenue $ 84,143,913 $ 24,720,665 $ 108,864,578 Cost of Revenues 59,922,918 15,115,600 75,038,518 Gross Profit before network expenses 24,220,995 9,605,065 33,826,060 Network expenses 3,956,812 Gross Profit 29,869,248 Expenses: Sales and marketing 11,377,701 Technical operations and development 3,238,566 General and administrative 6,959,984 Depreciation of property and equipment 167,527 Amortization of intangibles 545,290 Impairment of indefinite life intangible assets 577,145 Loss on currency forward contracts 219,904 Income from operations 6,783,131 Other expenses, net 206,679 Income before provision for income taxes $ 6,576,452 (b) The following is a summary of the Company’s revenue earned from each significant revenue stream: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Domain Services: Wholesale Domain Services $ 21,137,420 $ 21,880,181 $ 63,599,414 $ 65,032,221 Value Added Services 2,404,449 2,350,195 7,002,284 7,349,527 Total Wholesale 23,541,869 24,230,376 70,601,698 72,381,748 Retail 3,153,992 2,687,478 9,039,185 7,612,079 Portfolio 1,315,566 2,207,640 3,382,614 4,150,086 Total Domain Services 28,011,427 29,125,494 83,023,497 84,143,913 Network Access Services: Ting 16,540,482 9,748,689 44,885,465 24,720,665 Total Network Access Services 16,540,482 9,748,689 44,885,465 24,720,665 $ 44,551,909 $ 38,874,183 $ 127,908,962 $ 108,864,578 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.
