Segment and Geographic Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting establishes standards for the manner in which public companies report information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements which require the reporting of segment information using the “management approach.” Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Based on this approach, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment, Data Management.
