NOTE 20 SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as a source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The Company conducts its business through the following two reportable segments: Extended Warranty and Kingsway Search Xcelerator.

 

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company conducted its business through a third reportable segment, Leased Real Estate. Leased Real Estate included the following subsidiaries of the Company: CMC and VA Lafayette.  As further discussed in Note 5, "Acquisitions, Disposal and Discontinued Operations," both CMC and VA Lafayette have been classified as discontinued operations and the results of their operations are reported separately for all periods presented.  As such, the Leased Real Estate segment no longer exists and all segmented information has been restated to exclude the Leased Real Estate segment for all periods presented. 

 

Extended Warranty Segment

 

Extended Warranty includes the following subsidiaries of the Company: IWS, Geminus, PW I, PWSC and Trinity (collectively, "Extended Warranty").  As discussed in Note 5 , "Acquisitions, Disposal and Discontinued Operations ," the Company disposed of PWSC on July 29, 2022.  The earnings of PWSC are included in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and the segment disclosures through the disposal date.   

 

IWS is a licensed motor vehicle service agreement company and is a provider of after-market vehicle protection services distributed by credit unions in 25 states and the District of Columbia to their members, with customers in all fifty states.
