Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | (12) Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. On December 31, 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest in PST, see Note 3. Due to the acquisition, effective December 31, 2011, PST is a separate reportable segment. PST’s results of operations and cash flows were consolidated and included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, while the results of operations and cash flows and were included in equity in earnings of investees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. See Note 13 for summarized operations information of PST for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company has three reportable segments: Electronics, Control Devices and PST. The Company’s operating segments in the Electronics and Control Devices segments are aggregated based on sharing similar economic characteristics. Other aggregation factors include the nature of the products offered and management and oversight responsibilities. The Electronics reportable segment produces electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment produces electronic and electromechanical switches and control actuation devices and sensors. The PST reportable segment, which is also an operating segment, specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of electronic vehicle security alarms, convenience accessories, vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services and in-vehicle audio and video devices. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s December 31, 2011 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, capital expenditures and income before income taxes. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation. A summary of financial information by reportable segment is as follows:
