Note 10. Business Segment Results |

These business segments were determined based on the nature of the operations and the services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision-makers of the Company, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been identified as the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability, the cash flows, and the business plans of each respective segment. Corporate expenses pertain to certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including administrative functions.
