Segment Disclosures

NOTE 19: Segment Disclosures

The Company’s operating segments are determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is based on operating activities. The Company’s previously reported fiscal 2010 segment operating income (loss) has been recast to conform to the Company’s current presentation, which has been revised to include the Telecommunications segment with the Other segment.

Segment operating income (loss) is comprised of segment net revenues less direct cost of staffing services revenue or cost of other revenue, selling, administrative and other operating costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs. The Company allocates all operating costs except for the corporate-wide general and administrative costs and fees related to restatement and associated investigations to the segments. These allocations are included in the calculation of each segment’s operating income (loss).

Financial data concerning the Company’s sales and segment operating income (loss) by reportable operating segment for the fiscal years ended October 28, 2012, October 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, are summarized in the following table (in thousands):
