The Company&amp;#146;s reportable business segments consist of: (1) United States; (2) Canada and (3) Europe. As described&#13;below, the activities of the Company&amp;#146;s Asian operations are closely linked to those of the U.S. operations; accordingly,&#13;management reviews the financial results of both on a consolidated basis, and the results of the Asian operations have been aggregated&#13;with the results of the United States operations to form one reportable segment called the &amp;#147;United States segment&amp;#148;&#13;or &amp;#147;U.S. operating segment&amp;#148;. Each reportable segment derives its revenue from the sales of cutting devices, measuring&#13;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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;Domestic sales orders are&#13;filled from the Company&amp;#146;s distribution center in North Carolina. The Company is responsible for the costs of shipping, insurance,&#13;customs clearance, duties, storage and distribution related to such products. Orders filled from the Company&amp;#146;s inventory&#13;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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="line-height: normal"&gt;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;Direct import sales are products&#13;sold by the Company&amp;#146;s Asian subsidiary, directly to major U.S. retailers, who take ownership of the products in Asia. These&#13;sales are completed by delivering product to the customers&amp;#146; common carriers at the shipping points in Asia. Direct import&#13;sales are made in larger quantities than domestic sales, typically full containers. Direct import sales represented approximately&#13;10% and 12% of the Company&amp;#146;s total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.&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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;The chief operating decision&#13;maker evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on segment revenues and operating income.

The property consists of approximately four acres of land and 48,000 sq. feet of warehouse&#13;space. The property was the site of the Company&amp;#146;s original scissor factory which opened in 1887 and 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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;Under the terms of the sale&#13;agreement, and as required by the Connecticut Transfer Act, the Company is required to remediate any environmental contamination&#13;on the property. During 2008, the Company hired an independent environmental consulting firm to conduct environmental studies&#13;in order to identify the extent of the environmental contamination on the property and to develop a remediation plan. As a result&#13;of those studies and the estimates prepared by the independent environmental consulting firm, the Company recorded an undiscounted&#13;liability of approximately $1.8 million related to the remediation of the property. This accrual included the costs of required&#13;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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;Remediation work on the project&#13;began in the third quarter of 2009 and was completed during the third quarter of 2012. At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately&#13;$34,000 remaining in its accrual for environmental remediation, all of which was classified as a current liability at that date.&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="line-height: normal"&gt;&amp;#160;&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="line-height: normal"&gt;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 set governmental standards.
