The Company&amp;#146;s reportable business segments consist of: (1) United States; (2) Canada&#13;and (3) Europe. As described below, the activities of the Company&amp;#146;s Asian operations are closely linked to those of the&#13;U.S. operations; accordingly, management reviews the financial results of both on a consolidated basis, and the results of the&#13;Asian operations have been aggregated with the results of the United States operations to form one reportable segment called the&#13;&amp;#147;United States segment&amp;#148; or &amp;#147;U.S. segment&amp;#148;. Each reportable segment derives its revenue from the sales&#13;of cutting devices, measuring instruments and safety products for school, office, home, hardware and industrial use.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Domestic&#13;sales orders are filled from the Company&amp;#146;s distribution center in North Carolina. The Company is responsible for the costs&#13;of shipping, insurance, customs clearance, duties, storage and distribution related to such products. Orders filled from the Company&amp;#146;s&#13;inventory are generally for less than container-sized lots.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Direct&#13;import sales are products sold by the Company&amp;#146;s Asian subsidiary, directly to major U.S. retailers, who take ownership of&#13;the products in Asia. These sales are completed by delivering product to the customers&amp;#146; common carriers at the shipping&#13;points in Asia. Direct import sales are made in larger quantities than domestic sales, typically full containers. Direct import&#13;sales represented approximately 15% and 18% of the Company&amp;#146;s total net sales for the three and nine months ended September&#13;30, 2015 compared to 11% and 16% for the comparable periods in 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The property consisted of approximately four acres of land and 48,000&#13;sq. feet of warehouse space. The property was the site of the Company&amp;#146;s original scissor factory which opened in 1887 and&#13;was closed in 1996.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Under&#13;the terms of the sale agreement, and as required by the Connecticut Transfer Act, the Company was required to remediate any environmental&#13;contamination on the property. During 2008, the Company hired an independent environmental consulting firm to conduct environmental&#13;studies in order to identify the extent of the environmental contamination on the property and to develop a remediation plan.&#13;As a result of those studies and the estimates prepared by the independent environmental consulting firm, the Company recorded&#13;an undiscounted liability of approximately $1.8 million related to the remediation of the property. This accrual included the&#13;costs of required investigation, remedial activities, and post-remediation operating and maintenance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Remediation&#13;work on the project began in the third quarter of 2009 and was completed during the third quarter of 2012. In addition to the&#13;completed remediation work, the Company, with the assistance of its independent environmental consulting firm, was required to&#13;monitor contaminant levels on the property to ensure they comply with applicable governmental standards. During the first quarter&#13;of 2015, the Company received notice from the Connecticut Department of Energy &amp;#38; Environmental Protection that it had accepted&#13;and approved the Company&amp;#146;s filing of its Form III Verification Report. As a result, the Company&amp;#146;s remediation obligations&#13;have been satisfied.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;On&#13;April 7, 2014, the Company sold its Fremont, NC distribution facility for $850,000 in cash. The facility originally served as&#13;a manufacturing site for the Company&amp;#146;s scissors and rulers. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company is responsible&#13;to remediate any environmental contamination on the property. The Company hired an independent environmental consulting firm to&#13;conduct environmental studies in order to identify the extent of the environmental contamination on the property and to develop&#13;a remediation plan. As a result of those studies and the estimates prepared by the independent environmental consulting firm,&#13;and in conjunction with the sale of the property, the Company recorded a liability of $300,000 in the second quarter of 2014,&#13;related to the remediation of the property. The accrual included the total of then estimated costs of remedial activities and&#13;post-remediation monitoring costs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Remediation&#13;work on the project began in the third quarter of 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2015. In addition to the remediation&#13;work, the Company, with the assistance of its independent environmental consulting firm, must continue to monitor contaminant&#13;levels on the property to ensure they comply with applicable North Carolina laws and regulations. The Company expects that the&#13;monitoring period will last a period of five years after the completion of the remediation and be completed by the end of 2020.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
