Segment Information

Note J: Segment Information

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and management regularly review financial information for the Company's three discrete operating segments. Based on similarities in the economic characteristics, nature of products and services, production processes, type or class of customer served, method of distribution and regulatory environments, the operating segments have been aggregated for financial statement purposes and categorized into three reportable segments: Autoscope, RTMS and CitySync. Autoscope is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. RTMS is our radar product line. CitySync is our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) product line. All segment revenues are derived from external customers.

Financial information by reportable segment for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
