Segment Information
Segment Information
The Company’s operations are aligned into three business segments: (i) Radio, (ii) Publishing and (iii) Corporate & Emerging Technologies. Emerging Technologies includes our TagStation, NextRadio and Digonex businesses. These business segments are consistent with the Company’s management of these businesses and its financial reporting structure. Corporate expenses are not allocated to reportable segments. The Company’s segments operate exclusively in the United States. Beginning in the quarter ended August 31, 2014, the Company reports results of its Emerging Technologies activities with its Corporate activities. Results from Emerging Technologies were reclassified from the Radio segment in the prior periods presented below and are not material.
The accounting policies as described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, for the year ended February 28, 2014, and in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, are applied consistently across segments.

The increase in Radio segment assets primarily relates to the acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM. The increase in Corporate and Emerging Technologies segment assets primarily relates to the restricted cash held for the second closing of our acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM. See Note 2 for more discussion of our acquisitions.
