| BUSINESS SEGMENTS |
NOTE P - BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). We report operational data to our CODM at the segment level, which he uses to evaluate performance and allocate resources based on gross profit and income from operations by segment. While the Company believes there are synergies between the two business segments, they are managed separately because they have different risks and opportunities. The two reportable segments are:
|
● |
Asset Management Solutions-comprised of activities to extract value from strategic asset acquisitions through leasing, trading, or disassembling for product sales |
|
● |
TechOps - comprised of MRO activities; and product sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products. |
The Asset Management Solutions segment provides leasing solutions of Flight Equipment to passenger and cargo operators worldwide. Assets considered to be at or near the end of their useful lives, supplied by our leasing portfolio or acquisitions, are analyzed for return maximization to assess whether they will be sold as whole assets or disassembled and sold as individual spare parts and components.
The TechOps segment consists of aftermarket support and services businesses that provide maintenance support for aircraft and aircraft components, and sale of engineered solutions. Our MRO business also engages in longer term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo conversions of wide-body aircraft, and aircraft storage. The segment also includes MRO of landing gear, thrust reversers, and other components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead. Our engineered solutions revenue consist of sales of products internally developed as permitted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges for operators. In order to develop these products, we engage in research and development activities. Our TechOps division will engage in the repair and sale of used serviceable materials through their ability to overhaul existing inventory.
The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note B. Our reportable segments are aligned principally around the differences in products and services. Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from revenue; income from operations is calculated by subtracting unapplied operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments. The segment reporting excludes the allocation of interest expense, interest income, other income (expense), net, change in fair value of warrant liability and income tax expense (benefit).
Selected financial information for each segment is as follows (in thousands):
