BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
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, man-portable systems, integrated communication systems for fixed or vehicle applications and communications and electronics systems design. We believe that reporting performance at the gross profit level is the best indicator of segment performance.
