Note 7. Business Segments |
|
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company modified the structure of its internal organization in order to streamline its operations and have all sales operations report to one individual. Each of the Company's product lines is sold to each of its customer markets; assets are not segmented; and support resources are shared between all sales teams. As a result of this modification, the Company concluded that changes to its reportable segments were warranted. The Company now evaluates its business as one segment as the chief operating decision maker reviews results as one unit. However, to provide investors with increased visibility into the markets it serves, the Company also reports revenue and gross profit by the following customer market units: (1) public carriers, contractors and program managers that are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; (2) private system operators and governments including commercial entities such as major utilities and transportation companies, federal agencies and state and local governments that run wireless networks for their own use; (3) commercial dealers and resellers that sell, install and/or service cellular telephone, wireless networking, broadband and two-way radio communications equipment primarily for the enterprise market; (4) retailers, dealer agents and carriers; and (5) our Major 3PL relationship that was fully transitioned at the end of fiscal year 2013. All prior periods have been restated to reflect this change. |
|
The Company evaluates revenue, gross profit, net profit contribution and income before provision for income taxes in the aggregate. Net profit contribution is defined as gross profit less any expenses that can be directly attributed. This includes sales, product management, purchasing, credit and collections and distribution team expenses, plus freight out and internal and external marketing costs. Corporate support expenses include administrative costs – finance, human resources, information technology, operating facility occupancy expenses, depreciation, amortization and interest, plus the company-wide pay on performance bonus expense. |
|
Certain cost of sales and other applicable expenses have been allocated to each market unit based on a percentage of revenues and/or gross profit, where appropriate. |
