Segment Information

Each event and the Stratus Reward program is considered an operating segment pursuant to ASC 280 since each is budgeted separately and results of each event and the Stratus program are tracked separately to provide the chief operating decision maker information to assess and manage each event and the Stratus Program.

The characteristics of the Stratus Reward program are different than the events, so that operating segment is considered a reporting segment.  The events share similar economic characteristics and are aggregated into a reporting segment pursuant to paragraph 17 of ASC 280.  All of the events provide entertainment and the logistics and production processes and methods for each event are similar:  sponsorship sales, ticket and concession sales, security, stages, public address systems and the like.  While the demographic characteristics of the audience can vary by event, all events cater to consumer entertainment.

 A summary of results by segment is as follows:
