SEGMENT, CUSTOMER AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

NOTE 19:- SEGMENT, CUSTOMER AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

a. General:

Commencing January 2008, the Company has two reportable segments that are related to continuing operations: the Cellocator segment and the Pointer segment.

The Cellocator segment designs, develops and produces leading mobile resource management products, including asset tracking, fleet management and security products for sale to third party operators providing mobile resource management services.

The Pointer segment acts as an operator by bundling the products of the Cellocator segment together with a range of services, including stolen vehicle retrieval services and fleet management services, and also provides road-side assistance services for sale to insurance companies, fleets and individual customers.

During 2008, as a result of the 2007 acquisition transaction in which the Company acquired Cellocator and following the determination of the CODM (chief operating decision maker), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to control and manage the results of the Company's business by means of two segments, the Company began to produce discrete operating results of two business units, the Cellocator segment and the Pointer segment.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating profit or loss. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting (formerly FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information").
