Segment Information | 16. Segment Information: The Company distributes software developed by others through resellers indirectly to customers worldwide. We also resell computer software and hardware developed by others and provide technical services directly to customers worldwide. FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires that public companies report profits and losses and certain other information on their “reportable operating segments” in their annual and interim financial statements. The internal organization used by the public company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for reportable operating segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the Company’s CODM, primarily uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Operating income represents net sales less costs of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense and operating expenses. Net sales and cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense are directly attributed to each segment. The majority of operating expenses are also directly attributed to each segment, while certain other operating expenses are allocated to the segments in a reasonable manner considering the specific facts and circumstances of the expenses being allocated. The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments. The “Distribution” segment distributes technical software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators worldwide. The “Solutions” segment is a provider of cloud solutions and value-added reseller of software, hardware and services to customers worldwide. As permitted by FASB ASC Topic 280, the Company has utilized the aggregation criteria in combining its operations in Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom with the domestic segments as the international operations provide the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together when the Company’s CODM decides how to allocate resources. Segment income is based on segment revenue less the respective segment’s cost of revenues as well as segment direct costs (including such items as payroll costs and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and insurance) and excluding general and administrative expenses not attributed to an individual segment business unit. The Company only identifies accounts receivable, vendor prepayments, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets by segment as shown below as “Selected Assets” by segment; it does not allocate its other assets, including capital expenditures by segment.
