Segment Information and Concentrations of Risk
 
In the second quarter of 2012, we realigned our business into two operating groups to provide better focus on our two primary end users, providers and consumers.  Our Merge Healthcare operating group, which represents about 87% of our total revenue in 2012, markets, sells and implements interoperability, imaging and clinical solutions to healthcare providers.  Our Merge DNA (Data and Analytics) operating group represents the remaining revenue and focuses on the emergence of consumerism in healthcare, including health stations, clinical trials software and other consumer-focused solutions.  As a result of this change, effective in the second quarter of 2012, we have two reportable operating segments. The information for 2011 and 2010 has been restated to conform to our two reportable operating segments.
 
We evaluate the performance of these operating groups based on their respective revenues and operating income, which exclude public company costs, certain corporate costs (amortization expense that is not specific to a segment), net interest expense and income taxes.
 
The following tables present operating group financial information for the periods indicated.
