Segment Information
Segment Information
We manage our operations through three segments: real estate, oil and gas and other natural resources. Real estate secures entitlements and develops infrastructure on our lands for single-family residential and mixed-use communities, and manages our undeveloped land, commercial and income producing properties, primarily a hotel and our multifamily investments. Oil and gas is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production operation and manages our owned and leased mineral interests. Other natural resources manages our timber, recreational leases and water resource initiatives.
Total assets allocated by segment are as follows:

(a) 
Assets not allocated to segments at third quarter-end 2015 principally consist of cash and cash equivalents of $92,640,000 and a net deferred tax asset of $1,118,000. Assets not allocated to segments at year-end 2014 principally consist of cash and cash equivalents of $170,127,000 and a net deferred tax asset of $40,624,000.
We evaluate performance based on segment earnings (loss) before unallocated items and income taxes. Segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income on loans secured by real estate and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to our business segments consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of strategic timberland, interest expense and other corporate non-operating income and expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation. Our revenues are derived from U.S. operations and all of our assets are located in the U.S. In third quarter 2015, no single customer accounted for more than ten percent of our total revenues.
