BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports four segments: U.S. federal, central U.S. region, other U.S. regions and Canada. Each segment provides customers with energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. The other U.S. regions segment is an aggregation of four regions: northeast U.S., southeast U.S., southwest U.S. and northwest U.S. These regions have similar economic characteristics — in particular, expected and actual gross profit margins. In addition, they sell products and services of a similar nature, serve similar types of customers and use similar methods to distribute their products and services. Accordingly, these four regions meet the aggregation criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The "all other" category includes activities, such as certain O&M and sales of renewable energy and certain other renewable energy products, that are managed centrally at the Company's corporate headquarters. It also includes all amortization of intangible assets and all corporate operating expenses — salaries and benefits, project development costs, and general, administrative and other — not specifically allocated to the segments. The Company does not allocate any indirect expenses to the segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 unallocated corporate expenses were $9,696,178 and $12,658,134, respectively. Income before taxes and unallocated corporate expenses for all other for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 was $4,071,183 and $4,016,366, respectively. The accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).
The Company's business segments had the following operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:
