Business Segments [Abstract] |
Business Segments | 15. Business Segments The Company reported its financial results in two reportable business segments: Wind and Grid. Through its Windtec Solutions, the Wind business segment enables manufacturers to field wind turbines with exceptional power output, reliability and affordability. The Company supplies advanced power electronics and control systems, licenses its highly engineered wind turbine designs, and provides extensive customer support services to wind turbine manufactures. Its design portfolio includes a broad range of drive trains and power ratings up to 10 megawatts. It provides a broad range of power electronics and software based control systems that are highly integrated and designed for optimized performance, efficiency, and grid compatibility. Through its Gridtec Solutions, the Grid business segment enables electric utilities and renewable energy project developers to connect, transmit and distribute power with exceptional efficiency, reliability and affordability. The Company provides transmission planning services that allow it to identify power grid congestion, poor power quality and other risks, which help the Company determine how its solutions can improve network performance. These services often lead to sales of grid interconnection solutions for wind farms and solar power plants, power quality systems and transmission and distribution cable systems. The operating results for the two business segments are as follows (in thousands):

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company. The Company’s business segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measures are segment revenues and segment operating (loss) income. The disaggregated financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. In addition, certain corporate expenses which the Company does not believe are specifically attributable or allocable to either of the two business segments have been excluded from the segment operating income. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily consist of stock-based compensation expense of $1.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively and restructuring and impairment charges of $6.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, unallocated corporate expenses primarily consist of restructuring and impairment charges of $4.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. In addition, the nine months ended December 31, 2011 includes expense of $20.6 million for the write-off of an advanced payment to The Switch. Total assets for the two business segments are as follows (in thousands):
|  | December 31, |  |  | March 31,
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2012
Wind | $ | 69,221 |  | $ | 70,054
