Business Segments And Enterprise-Wide Disclosures

Note 3. Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Disclosures

We operate in two business segments, our Advanced Media and Information ("AMI") Division and our Home Entertainment ("HE") Division, and, accordingly, we report certain financial information by individual segment under this structure. The AMI Division manages our media measurement services offered through our Entertainment Essentials™ systems primarily on a recurring subscription basis. The HE Division manages our business operations that deliver home entertainment content products and related rental and sales information for that content to our Pay-Per-Transaction ("PPT") System retailers ("Participating Retailers") on a revenue sharing basis. This division also includes Studio Direct Revenue Sharing ("DRS") services, which collects, tracks, audits and reports transactions and revenue data generated by DRS retailers, such as Blockbuster Entertainment, Netflix and kiosk companies, to studios. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, Home Entertainment Essentials™ is reported as a component of the HE Division. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to this change.

Assets are not specifically identified by segment as the information is not used by the chief operating decision maker to measure the segments' performance.
