Note 10 - Business Segment Information

On March 8, 2011, we decided to exit our Energy Services business, which previously was a stand alone business segment.  Results of this business have been classified as discontinued since the second quarter of 2011. See Note 2 in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On February 15, 2012, we decided to divest our RedBlack Communications business, which previously was reported in the Communications Systems segment.  These results have been classified as discontinued since the first quarter of 2012. See Note 2 in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we elected not to renew the lease for our U.K. manufacturing facility which expires on March 24, 2013, and to relocate our sales and services operations to a smaller facility.   As a result of this decision, we are required to restore the facility back to its original condition per a previous contractual commitment. This facility previously served our Battery and Energy Segments business. A portion of these costs were classified as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of 2012. See Note 2 in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Segment information previously reported has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We report our results in two operating segments: Battery & Energy Products and Communications Systems.  The Battery & Energy Products segment includes: lithium 9-volt, cylindrical and various other non-rechargeable batteries, in addition to rechargeable batteries, uninterruptable power supplies, charging systems and accessories.  The Communications Systems segment includes: RF amplifiers, power supplies, cable and connector assemblies, amplified speakers, equipment mounts, case equipment, integrated communication system kits and communications and electronics systems design.  We believe that reporting performance at the gross profit level is the best indicator of segment performance.  As such we report segment performance at the gross profit level and operating expenses as Corporate charges.
