NOTE 13—SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The Company operates as two reportable business segments in accordance with ASC 280, "Segment Reporting." The Company's chief operating decision maker and management personnel review the Company's performance and make resource allocation decisions by reviewing the results of the two business segments separately. Revenue and operating profit are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker; however, the Company assets are not divided based on business segment.

        The Company is organized into the Renewable Energy Solutions and Power Solutions segments based on the products and services provided. Renewable Energy Solutions offers inverters and accessories for the photovoltaic/solar and wind markets. These inverters convert DC energy from solar panels and wind turbines into AC energy for customer use or for the utility grid. The Power Solutions segment represents the Company's products for AC/DC, DC/DC and digital power conversion, including power conversion products for data centers, such as servers, storage and networking, as well as telecom and industrial power conversion products.
