SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 13. - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as four operating segments. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company acquired ExtraDev for its Digital division and the Company launched a new corporate identity and logo, along with a new website that grouped the Company under four distinct divisions. In conjunction with this, the Company determined that an expansion of its segment reporting to align with the new internal structure was appropriate. A summary of the four reportable segments follows:

DSS Printing	Licenses security printing technologies and manufactures and sells secure documents such as vital records, transcripts, safety paper, secure coupons, voter ballots, event tickets, among others. In addition, sells general commercial printing services utilizing digital and offset printing capabilities.
DSS Plastics	Manufactures and sells secure and non-secure plastic printed products such as ID cards, event badges and passes, and loyalty and gift cards, among others. Plastic cards include RFID chips, magnetic strips with variable data, and high quality graphics with overt and covert security features.
DSS Packaging	Manufactures and sells secure and non-secure custom paperboard packaging serving clients in the pharmaceutical, beverage, photo packaging, toy, specialty foods and direct marketing industries, among others.
DSS Digital	Develops, installs, hosts and services IT services including remote server and application hosting, cloud computing, secure document systems, back-up and disaster recovery services and customer program development services.

Approximate information concerning the Company's operations by reportable segment for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows. The Company relies on intersegment cooperation and management does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the results contained herein:
