13. | Segment Information
In 2018, Picor Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into the Company, and its operations and personnel were reassigned. Although the legal structure of Picor Corporation has ceased to exist, the Company continues to report its operating segments as the Brick Business Unit, VI Chip, and Picor, reflecting its historical organizational segmentation and management’s operational oversight. The BBU segment designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the Company’s modular DC-DC converters and configurable products, and also includes the entities comprising Vicor Custom Power and the BBU operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd. (“VJCL”). The VI Chip segment includes VI Chip Corporation, which designs, develops, manufactures, and markets many of the Company’s advanced power component products. The VI Chip segment also includes the VI Chip business conducted through VJCL. The Picor segment, which consists of the operations of the former subsidiary, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets integrated circuits for use in a variety of power management and power system applications. The Picor segment develops integrated circuits for use in the Company’s BBU and VI Chip modules, to be sold as complements to the Company’s BBU and VI Chip products, or for sale to third parties for separate (i.e., stand-alone) applications. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (i.e., identified as the “chief operating decision maker”) (“CODM”), pursuant to U.S. GAAP, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and segment operating income (loss). The operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general, and administrative and research and development expenses directly attributable to the segment. Certain of the Company’s indirect overhead costs, which include corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses, are allocated among the segments based upon an estimate of costs associated with each segment. Assets allocated to each segment are based upon specific identification of such assets, which include accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets, and certain other assets. The Corporate segment consists of those operations and assets shared by all operating segments. The costs of certain centralized executive and administrative functions are recorded in this segment, as are certain shared assets, most notably cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, long-term investments, the Company’s facilities in Massachusetts, real estate, and other assets. The Company’s accounting policies and method of presentation for segments are consistent with that used throughout the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides significant segment financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):

| (1) | The elimination for net revenues is principally related to inter-segment sales by Picor to BBU and VI Chip and for inter-segment sales by VI Chip to BBU. The elimination for total assets is principally related to inter-segment accounts receivable due to BBU for the funding of VI Chip and Picor operations.
Substantially all long-lived assets are located in the United States.
