Segment Information

(10) Segment Information

The Company is a leading distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers. The Company has two reporting segments, based on geographic location. The measure of segment profit is operating income, and the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

North American Distribution

North American Distribution offers products for sale in four primary categories: (i) AIDC and POS equipment sold by the ScanSource POS and Barcoding sales unit, (ii) voice, data, video and converged communications equipment sold by the Catalyst Telecom and (iii) ScanSource Communications sales units and (iv) physical security and wireless infrastructure products sold by the ScanSource Security Distribution sales unit. These products are sold to more than 14,500 resellers and integrators of technology products that are geographically dispersed over the United States and Canada in a pattern that mirrors population concentration. No single account represented more than 6% of the Company's worldwide net sales for the quarters or six months ended December 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

International Distribution

The international distribution segment sells to two geographic areas, Latin America aggregated with Europe, and offers AIDC and POS equipment as well as security and communications products to more than 15,500 resellers and integrators of technology products. Of this segment's customers, no single account represented more than 1% of the Company's worldwide net sales during the quarters or six months ended December 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

Inter-segment sales consist primarily of sales by the North American distribution segment to the international distribution segment. All inter-segment revenues and profits have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
