SEGMENT REPORTING

NOTE 9 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company operates within two (2) reportable segments. The Company’s management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the profit or loss from operations. Because the Company is a recurring revenue service business with very few physical assets, management does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding operations, and therefore, the total assets disclosure by segment has not been included.

 

The reportable segments consist of Hosted Services and Mobile Services. Mobile Services reporting will now consist of our post-paid and pre-paid cellular business.

 

Hosted Services – This segment includes a suite of hosted CPaaS services within the Apeiron Systems’ cloud platform, including Cloud IVRs, Voicemail, Fax, Call Recording and other services provided with local, toll-free, and international phone numbers. Apeiron also delivers public and private IP network services from its national redundant network backbone including MPLS, Dedicated Internet and LTE Wireless WAN solutions. Additionally, Apeiron’s Cloud Services include Information Data Dips, SD-WAN, and IoT data and device management. These Hosted Services are marketed nationally through Apeiron’s website, its own sales staff, independent sales agents, and ISOs.

 

Mobile Services – This segment includes retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and IoT mobile data services through our subsidiaries Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom. Mobile voice/text/data and IoT mobile data services are supported by a blend of reseller agreements with select national wireless carriers and national wireless wholesalers. A wireless communications service reseller typically does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which services are provided to its customers. Mobile voice/text/data and mobile data solutions are generally sold as traditional post-paid service plans that may include voice/text/data or wireless data only

 

plans. Sometimes equipment is provided, which can include, but is not limited to, phones, tablets, modems, routers and accessories. Also included in our Mobile Services segment is the distribution of cellular voice service and mobile data service by IM Telecom under its Infiniti Mobile brand to low-income American households that qualify for the FCC’s Lifeline voice service program and the FCC’s temporary EBB mobile data program, with EBB to eventually be replaced by FCC’s ACP in 2022. Even though government programs like Lifeline have existed since 1985, these programs, along with newer programs like the temporary EBB program and future ACP program, are subject to change and may have a material impact on our Mobile Services business if changed, reduced, or eliminated.
