SEGMENT REPORTING
 

The Company currently operates in four reportable operating segments:
 
(1)
The Company's Energy & Security Sonar Solutions segment is focused on sonar and acoustic related solutions for energy, defense and commercial markets and includes other real-time and embedded hardware & software development and production. Energy & Security Sonar Solutions activities are provided through the Company’s DSIT Solutions Ltd. subsidiary.

(2)
The Company’s GridSense segment provides Smart Grid Distribution Automation products and services through its GridSense subsidiaries.  

(3)
The Company’s Oil and Gas Sensor Systems segment's (previously known as the Energy and Security Sensor Systems segment) focus is to develop and produce fiber optic sensing systems for the energy and security markets.  These activities are performed through the Company's USSI subsidiary.

(4)
The Company's Power Generation Monitoring segment provides products and services which deliver critical, real-time machine information to customers, while its Smart Service™ software provides remote diagnostics that give users real control over their equipment. These activities are performed through the Company's OmniMetrix subsidiary. As these activities were acquired in February 2012, there are only partial comparative results reported for these activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

Other operations include certain IT activities (protocol management software for cancer patients and billing software) and outsourced consulting activities performed by the Company's DSIT subsidiary as well as Cathodic Protection activities in the Company's OmniMetrix subsidiary that do not meet the quantitative thresholds under applicable accounting principles.
