Chief Operating Decision Maker

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") are the co-Chief Executive Officers.

Reportable Segments

The Company reports its results from operations consistent with the manager in which the CODM review the business to assess performance and allocate resources. As such, the Company reports its results in two reporting segments: Electronic Instruments and Merchant Investment. A brief description of each segment is below:

The Electronic Instruments segment includes all products manufactured and sold by PTF.

The Merchant Investment segment includes all activity produced by Lynch Capital International, LLC ("Lynch Capital").

The Company includes in Corporate the following corporate and business activities:

• corporate level assets and financial obligations such as cash and equivalents invested in highly liquid U.S. Treasury money market funds and other marketable securities;

• other items not allocated to or directly related to the Company's operating segments, including items such as deferred tax balances; and

• intercompany eliminations.

Measure of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets

The accounting policies used in both the Electronic Instruments and Merchant Investment segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The CODM assess the performance of and decide how to allocate resources to each reporting segment based on Segment profit (loss), which is total revenues less Manufacturing cost of sales and Engineering, selling, and administrative. The CODM uses Segment profit (loss) to evaluate the overall profitability of the Electronic Instruments, Merchant Investment, and Corporate segments. Additionally, the CODM uses Segment profit (loss) to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital to each segment.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as consolidated Total assets. The CODM uses Total assets of each segment to allocate overhead expenses incurred by the Corporate segment.
