The Company is organized into two reportable segments: the Aerostructures segment and the Engineering Services segment.  The Aerostructures segment fabricates, machines, finishes, integrates, assembles and kits formed close-tolerance aluminum, specialty alloy, composite components and higher level assemblies for use by the aerospace, defense and technology industries.  The Engineering Services segment, comprised of the operations of D3, provides a complete range of design, engineering and program management services, supporting aircraft lifecycles from conceptual design, analysis and certification through production support, fleet support and service life extensions via a complete turnkey engineering solution.

Corporate assets, liabilities and expenses related to the Company's corporate offices, except for interest expense and income taxes, primarily support the Aerostructures segment and are classified as such.  The table below presents information about reported segments on the basis used internally to evaluate segment performance:
