text: E u ronet Worldwide and its subsidiaries operate in two business segments: (1) a segment providing secure processing of financial transactions (the 
  “Network Services Segment”); and (2) a segment producing application software for the processing of secure electronic financial transaction (the 
  “ S o f t w a re Solutions Segment”). In addition, the Company’s management divides the Network Services Segment into three sub-segments: “Central 
  E u ropean Sub-segment” (including Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece and Romania), “We s t e rn European Sub-segment” 
  (including Germ a n y, France and the United Kingdom) and “Other Operations Sub-segment” (including the United States and unallocated 
  p rocessing center costs). These business segments, and their sub-segments, are supported by a corporate service segment, which pro v i d e s 
  corporate and other administrative services that are not directly identifiable with the two business segments (the “Corporate Services Segment”). 
  The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company 
  evaluates perf o rmance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonre c u rring gains and net loss. Prior period 
  segment information has been restated to conform to the current period’s presentation. (See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - 
  Business segment information.)
