Prior to the Business Combination with Hego, the Company operated as one reporting unit. As a result of the Business Combination the Company will be organized, managed and internally reported as two segments. Because the Company will not evaluate performance based upon return on assets at the operating segment level, assets are not tracked internally by segment, and therefore, segment asset information is not presented at this time. In addition, due to the preliminary status of the purchase price allocation, goodwill has not been allocated to reporting segments.

Operating segment data is as follows (in thousands):
