The Company considers operating income to be a primary measure of operating performance of its business segments. The amount shown for each period in the “Corporate Expenses” column above consists of expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. These non-allocated corporate expenses include salaries and benefits of certain corporate staff and expenses such as audit fees, investor relations, stock listing fees, director and officer liability insurance, and director fees and expenses.

The Company's satellite products are sold to EchoStar, an affiliate of Dish Network, for incorporation into complete subscription satellite television systems. In April, 2016, EchoStar notified us that it will stop purchasing products from CalAmp as a result of a consolidation of its supplier base and reduced demand for the products that we currently supply. Consequently, we expect that our Satellite business will cease operations at or around the end of August 2016.
