SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

The Company manages and reports its businesses in the following four segments:

• Financial Services - We offer solutions to enable customers in the financial services industry to reduce costs, generate new revenue streams and enhance customer loyalty. These solutions include a comprehensive line of ATM and payment processing hardware and software, and related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services. We also offer a complete line of printer consumables.

• Retail Solutions - We offer solutions to customers in the retail industry designed to improve selling productivity and checkout processes as well as increase service levels. These solutions primarily include retail-oriented technologies, such as Point of Sale (POS) terminals and bar-code scanners, as well as innovative self-service kiosks, such as self-checkout. We also offer installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.

• Hospitality (formerly Hospitality and Specialty Retail) - We offer technology solutions to customers in the hospitality industry, serving businesses that range from a single restaurant to global chains and the world's largest sports stadiums. Our solutions include Point of Sale (POS) hardware and software solutions, installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.

• Emerging Industries - We offer maintenance as well as managed and professional services for third-party computer hardware provided to select manufacturers, primarily in the telecommunications industry, who value and leverage our global service capability. Also included in our Emerging Industries segment are solutions designed to enhance the customer experience for the travel and gaming industries, including self-service kiosks, as well as related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services.

As of January 1, 2012, the specialty retail customer accounts that were formerly part of the Hospitality and Specialty Retail segment are now included in the Retail Solutions segment, and the hospitality customer accounts that were formerly part of the Retail Solutions segment are now included in the Hospitality segment. As a result, the former Hospitality and Specialty Retail segment has been renamed Hospitality. Prior period information has not been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, as the change was not considered material.

These segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and in allocating the Company's resources. Management evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and segment operating income. Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance, and consequently, we do not disclose total assets by reportable segment.

The accounting policies used to determine the results of the operating segments are the same as those utilized for the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are not material.

In recognition of the volatility of the effects of pension expense on our segment results, and to maintain operating focus on business performance, pension expense, as well as other significant, non-recurring items, are excluded from the segment operating results utilized by our chief operating decision maker in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated to reconcile back to total reported income from operations.
