NOTE 11: SEGMENTS

Description of Products and Services of Reportable Segments

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had five operating and reportable segments: Sales and Lease Ownership, HomeSmart, RIMCO, Franchise and Manufacturing. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the RIMCO segment no longer met the aggregation criteria in ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Accordingly, for all periods presented, RIMCO has been reclassified from the Sales and Lease Ownership segment to the RIMCO segment. In January of 2014, the Company sold the 27 Company-operated RIMCO stores and the rights to five franchised RIMCO stores.

The Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership division offers electronics, furniture, appliances and computers to consumers primarily on a monthly payment basis with no credit requirements. The HomeSmart division was established to offer electronics, furniture, appliances and computers to consumers on a weekly payment basis with no credit requirements. The Company's RIMCO stores leased automobile tires, wheels and rims to customers under sales and lease ownership agreements. The Company’s Franchise operation awards franchises and supports franchisees of its sales and lease ownership concept. The Manufacturing segment manufactures upholstered furniture and bedding predominantly for use by Company-operated and franchised stores. Therefore, the Manufacturing segment's revenues and earnings before income taxes are primarily the result of intercompany transactions, substantially all of which revenues and earnings are eliminated through the elimination of intersegment revenues and intersegment profit.
