Prior to the Business Combination with Hego, the Company operated as one reporting segment. As a result of the Business Combination the Company was organized, managed and internally reported as two segments in fiscal 2013. 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.

The Company's revenues, provided by both segments, include sales of graphics products for the broadcast and sports industries. The Company's services revenues include production services, development and sales of maintenance contracts.

Operating segment data is as follows (in thousands):
