10. Segment Information

 

As of January 1, 2014, the Company's businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as four operating segments.  Two of these operating segments, Premier Packaging Corporation, and Plastic Printing Professionals, Inc., dba DSS Plastics 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.     Previously, the Company maintained a separately located operating segment, DSS Printing Group. This operating segment was relocated to the Company's packaging facility in Victor, New York in January 2014. For presentation purposes, the 2013 Printing Group segment and Packaging segment amounts were combined to be consistent with the 2014 segment presentation. 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. DSS Technology Management acquires or internally develops patented technology or intellectual property assets (or interests therein), with the purpose of monetizing these assets through a variety of value-enhancing initiatives, including, but not limited to, investments in the development and commercialization of patented technologies, licensing, strategic partnerships and commercial litigation. DSS Digital Group researches and develops intellectual property, products and services for purposes of creating commercial sales of products that are based on internally developed intellectual property and intellectual property assets and rights acquired by DSS Technology Management. DSS Digital Group also provides IT sales and services including remote server and application hosting, cloud computing, secure document systems, back-up and disaster recovery services and custom program development services.
