– SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
In its operation of the business, management reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP. Our
two
segments are Power Supplies and Data Storage. The
two
segments discussed in this analysis are presented in the way we internally manage and monitor performance for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018.
Our allocations of internal resources were made to the
two
business segments for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018.
The types of products and services provided by each segment are summarized below:
 
Power Supplies
 — The Company designs and markets high-efficiency switching power supplies. We utilize contract manufacturers in Asia to produce the power supply products. These power supplies are used to convert AC line voltage to DC voltages, or DC voltages to other DC voltages for use in a wide variety of electronic equipment such as communications equipment, industrial machine tools, wireless systems, as well as medical and gaming devices. We sell our products globally through authorized resellers and directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).
 
Storage
— The data storage industry is experiencing a tremendous increase in newly generated digital data due to Rich Media Content, Internet of Things, Data Mining and the Cloud. Tape based storage solution providers enable businesses to manage the massive growth of digital data assets in a cost-effective manner. Our tape-based data storage product lines address long-term archive, backup and recovery of electronic data. These products consist of networked libraries that store and move high-density tape cartridges and high-speed tape drives that stream data to and from the tape cartridges. These optimized solutions allow the video centric markets such as media and entertainment, oil and gas, surveillance, digital security and medical imaging to achieve targeted data workflows.
