Business Segments

        We currently operate in three reportable segments: Roadway Sensors, Transportation Systems, and Agriculture and Weather Analytics (formerly known as Performance Analytics).

        The Roadway Sensors segment provides hardware and software products to multiple segments of the ITS market. These products primarily consist of various vehicle detection and information systemse used for traffic intersection control, communication and roadway traffic data collection applications. These include, among other products, our Vantage, VantageNext, VersiCam, Vantage Vector, SmartCycle, PedTrax, SmartSpan, Pegasus, Velocity, and P-series, products.

        The Transportation Systems segment includes transportation engineering and consulting services, and the development of transportation management and traveler information systems for the ITS industry. As of April 1, 2016, our performance measurement and information management solution, iPeMS, and related traffic analytic consulting services, previously included in Agriculture and Weather segment, were reassigned to the Transportation Systems segment to better align our traffic analytics capabilities, resources and initiatives. Prior segment information has been recast to reflect this change.

        The Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment includes ClearPath Weather, our road-maintenance applications, and ClearAg, our precision agriculture solutions. ClearPath Weather provides winter road maintenance recommendations for state agencies, municipalities and for commercial companies. Our ClearAg platform provides access to a comprehensive database of weather, soil and agronomic information combined with proprietary land-surface modeling and machine learning are essential to making informed agricultural decisions and is delivered through ClearAg solutions, including our ClearAg APIs and components, WeatherPlot mobile application, and ClearAg Insights applications.

        The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1). Certain corporate general and administrative expenses, including general overhead functions such as information systems, accounting, human resources, marketing, compliance costs and certain administrative expenses, as well as interest and amortization of intangible assets, are not allocated to the segments. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products or provide services with different processes. All reported segment revenues are derived from external customers. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information at the operating segment level. Our CODM does not review assets by segment in his resource allocation, and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed below.

        Selected financial information for our reportable segments for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

        We currently have, and historically have had, a diverse customer base. For Fiscal 2017, one individual customer represented approximately 22% of our total revenues and no other individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. For Fiscal 2016, no individual customer represented approximately 10% of our total revenues. For Fiscal 2015, one individual customer represented approximately 10% of our total revenues and no other individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues.

        No individual customer or government agency had a receivable balance at March 31, 2017 or 2016 greater than 10% of our total trade accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

        The following table sets forth the percentages of our revenues, by geographic region, derived from shipments to, or contract, service and other revenues from, external customers located outside the U.S.:
