Interim Financial Data By Segment

NOTE 15. INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA BY SEGMENT

The Company classifies its operations into the following two reportable segments: Investor Communication Solutions and Securities Processing Solutions.

The primary components of "Other" are the elimination of intersegment revenues and profits as well as certain unallocated expenses. Foreign currency exchange is a reconciling item between the actual foreign currency exchange rates and fiscal year 2011 budgeted foreign currency exchange rates.

Certain corporate expenses, as well as certain centrally managed expenses, are allocated based upon budgeted amounts. Because the Company compensates the management of its various businesses on, among other factors, segment earnings, the Company records certain segment-related expense items of an unusual or non-recurring nature in Other rather than reflect such items in segment profit.
