14. ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that public companies report profits and losses and certain other information on their reportable operating segments in their annual and interim financial statements. The internal organization used by the public companys Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources determines the basis for reportable operating segments. The Companys CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company is organized into two reportable operating segments the TechXtend segment (formerly the Programmers Paradise segment), which sells technical software, hardware and services directly to end-users (such as individual programmers, corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions) and the Lifeboat segment, which distributes technical software to corporate resellers, value added resellers (VARs), consultants and systems integrators.
As permitted by ASC Topic 280, the Company has utilized the aggregation criteria in combining its operations in Canada with the domestic segments as the Canadian operations provide the same products and services to similar clients and are considered together when the Companys CODM decides how to allocate resources.
Segment income is based on segment revenue less the applicable segments cost of revenues as well as segment direct costs (including such items as payroll costs and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and insurance) and excluding general and administrative expenses not attributed to an individual segment business unit. The Company only identifies accounts receivable and inventory by segment as shown below as Selected Assets; it does not allocate its other assets, including capital expenditures by segment.
The following segment reporting information of the Company is provided (in thousands):
