     The Company considers operating income (loss) to be the primary measure of profit or loss of its business segments. The amount shown for each period in the "Corporate" column above for operating income (loss) consists of corporate expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. These non-allocated corporate expenses include salaries and benefits of certain executive officers and expenses such as audit fees, investor relations, stock listing fees, director and officer liability insurance, and director fees and expenses. Corporate expenses include stock-based compensation expense of $234,000 and $181,000 in the three-month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $663,000 and $511,000, respectively, in the nine-month periods then ended.

     Effective with the fiscal 2012 first quarter, certain general and administrative expenses that were previously treated as non-allocated corporate expenses were allocated to the operating segments. In the above segment information table, the operating income (loss) amounts for the three- and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2010 have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2012 presentation. These changes had no effect on consolidated general and administrative expenses.
