SEGMENT REPORTING
NOTE 15 - SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company's reportable segments are determined and reviewed by management based upon the nature of the services, the external customers and customer industries and the sales and distribution methods used to market the products. The Company organizes its reportable segments to correspond with its primary service lines: wireless communications, specialty construction and electrical power. Management evaluates performance based upon income (loss) before income taxes. Corporate includes corporate salaries and external professional fees, such as accounting, legal and investor relations costs which are not allocated to the other segments. Corporate assets primarily include cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses.
 
As part of the divestiture transactions more fully described in Note 16, “Discontinued Operations”, the Company reclassified the reporting units within its reportable segments. As a result, wireless communications includes the Suisun City and Australia Operations, specialty construction includes the China Operations, and electrical power includes the Trenton, Seattle and Portland Operations, for each of the periods presented. The segment information presented below contains the operating results for the continuing operations only. The St. Louis, Sarasota, Lakewood and Hartford Operations were sold and are reported as discontinued operations. The Sarasota, Lakewood and Hartford Operations were previously reported in the wireless communications segment and the St. Louis Operation was reported in the specialty construction segment. Segment results for the year ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
