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 which resulted in PST becoming a separate reportable segment. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company changed its reportable segments in accordance with changes in financial information received and reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. As a result, the Company’s Wiring business unit is now an operating segment for financial reporting purposes. Historically, the Wiring business unit was included in the Electronics operating segment. The Company has revised the consolidated segment information for all periods presented to reflect this presentation. The Company has four reportable segments: Electronics, Wiring, Control Devices and PST which also represents its operating segments. The Electronics reportable segment produces electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units and driver information systems. The Wiring reportable segment produces electrical power and signal distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors and instrument panel assemblies. The Control Devices reportable segment produces sensors, switches, valves and actuators. 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. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, capital expenditures and income (loss) 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:
