Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

Subsequent to the completion of our sale of the Motorola Home segment on April 17, 2013, we operate in the following two segments:

• Google - includes our advertising and other non-advertising businesses

• Motorola Mobile - includes our mobile devices business acquired from Motorola

Our chief operating decision maker does not evaluate operating segments using asset information.

The following table sets forth revenues and operating income (loss) by operating segment (in millions, unaudited):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012										Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Google		Motorola Mobile			Unallocated items (2)			Total		Google		Motorola Mobile			Elimination and unallocated items (1) (2)			Total

⁽¹⁾ Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, Google and Motorola Mobile segment revenues are impacted by intersegment transactions that are eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, segment revenues associated with certain products were recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 in our segment results, but deferred to future periods in our consolidated financial statements. This presentation is consistent with what is provided to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing its performance.

⁽²⁾ Unallocated items, including stock-based compensation expense, as well as restructuring and other charges are not allocated to each segment because we do not include this information in our measurement of the performance of our operating segments.

Revenues by geography are based on the billing addresses of our customers for the Google segment and the ship-to-addresses of our customers for the Motorola Mobile segment. The following tables set forth revenues and long-lived assets by geographic area (in millions):
