The Company's operations are managed as two businesses:

2) | Components, Products and Services (CPS). Components include interconnect systems (printed circuit board fabrication, backplane and cable assemblies) and mechanical systems (enclosures, precision machining and plastic injection molding), Products include Non-Volatile DIMMs, solid state drives and DRAM solutions from the Company's Viking Technology division, defense and aerospace products from SCI Technology, storage products from the Company's Newisys division and optical and RF (Radio Frequency) modules. Services include design, engineering, logistics and repair services.
