SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
 
(a)
General Information

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s operations are based upon four operating segments:

(1)
Energy & Security Sonar Solutions.  We provide sonar and acoustic related solutions for energy, defense and commercial markets with a focus on underwater site security for strategic energy installations and other advanced acoustic systems and real-time embedded hardware and software development and production through our DSIT Solutions Ltd. ("DSIT") subsidiary.

(2)
Smart Grid Distribution Automation.  These products and services are provided by our GridSenseTM subsidiaries (GridSense Inc. in the United States and GridSense Pty Ltd. and CHK GridSense Pty Ltd. in Australia - collectively "GridSense") which develop, market and sell remote monitoring and control systems to electric utilities and industrial facilities worldwide.

(3)
Oil and Gas Sensor Systems (formerly known as Energy and Security Sensor Systems).   These products and services are provided by our US Seismic Systems, Inc. subsidiary ("USSI") which develops and produces “state of the art” fiber optic sensing systems for the energy, commercial security and defense markets.

(4)
Power Generation (PG) Monitoring. These products and services are provided by our OmniMetrixTM, LLC (“OmniMetrix”) subsidiary, acquired in February 2012. OmniMetrix's PG products and services deliver critical, real-time machine information to customers and provide remote diagnostics that give users real-time visibility of their equipment. As these activities were acquired in February 2012 (see Note 3(a)), there are no comparative results reported for these activities for the year ended 2011.
  
During 2013, each of the abovementioned activities represented a reportable segment. In addition, our “Other” segment represents certain IT activities (protocol management software for cancer patients and billing software) and outsourced consulting activities performed by our DSIT subsidiary as well as Cathodic Protection activities in our OmniMetrix subsidiary, that do not meet the quantitative thresholds and which may be combined for reporting under applicable accounting principles.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, offering different products and services and are managed separately as each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.  Similar operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment.

(b)
Information about Profit or Loss and Assets

The accounting policies of all the segments are those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.  The Company evaluates performance based on net income or loss before taxes.
 
The Company does not systematically allocate assets to the divisions of the subsidiaries constituting its consolidated group, unless the division constitutes a significant operation.  Accordingly, where a division of a subsidiary constitutes a segment that does not meet the quantitative thresholds of applicable accounting principles, depreciation expense is recorded against the operations of such segment, without allocating the related depreciable assets to that segment.  However, where a division of a subsidiary constitutes a segment that does meet the quantitative thresholds, related depreciable assets, along with other identifiable assets, are allocated to such division.
