The Company's businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as five operating segments.  Three of these operating segments, Premier Packaging Corporation, dba DSS Packaging Group, Plastic Printing Professionals, Inc., dba DSS Plastics Group, and Secuprint Inc., dba DSS Printing Group are engaged in the printing and production of paper, cardboard and plastic documents with a wide range of features, including the Company's patented technologies and trade secrets designed for the protection of documents against unauthorized duplication and altering.     The two other operating segments, ExtraDev, Inc., dba DSS Digital Group, and DSS Technology Management, Inc., f/k/a Lexington Technology Group, Inc. are engaged in various aspects of developing, acquiring, selling and licensing technology assets and are grouped into one reportable segment called Technology.
