In its operation of the business, management reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP. Our
two
segments are power supplies and data storage. The
two
segments discussed in this analysis are presented in the way we internally managed and monitored performance for the
twelve
months ended
December 31, 2019.
Internal resources were billed for the
twelve
months ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018.
Until the creation of our subsidiary to operate our power supply business, the power supplies segment tracked certain assets separately, and all others were recorded in the data storage segment for internal reporting presentations. Upon the creation of
N2Power,
Inc., the assets were separated, and the internal resources were billed appropriately.
 
The types of products and services provided by each segment are summarized below:
 
Power Supplies
 — The Company designs, manufactures, and sells small, open frame, high efficiency switching power supplies. 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 telecommunications equipment, machine tools, routers, switches, wireless systems and gaming devices.
 
Data Storage
 — The Company configures to order, supports and sells data storage devices used to store, retrieve and manage electronic data primarily in network computing environments. Tape libraries consist of cartridge tape drives, tape cartridges and robotics to move the cartridges from their storage locations to the tape drives under software control. Our tape libraries provide data storage solutions for organizations requiring backup, recovery and archival storage of critical data.
