     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 $358,000 and $218,000 in the three-month periods ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $825,000 and $429,000, respectively, in the six-month periods then ended.

     The Wireless DataCom segment revenue for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 included a $3,000,000 patent sale for which there was no associated cost of revenue. Excluding the effects of this patent sale, the Wireless DataCom gross margin would have been 37.2% and 38.1% for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011, respectively.
