During the year ended December 31, 2013, we reorganized our internal management structure to

our growing television production business, an increased emphasis on our consumer products
business and the ongoing integration of our Classic Media business into our operating segments. We
evaluate the performance of each of our segments based on gross profit, and accordingly, the
discussion of our revenues and costs of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and
2011 reflects our new segment categories. A description of each of our segments is discussed in the
section entitled “Our Revenues and Costs.” "
