The Company&amp;#8217;s reportable business segments consist of: (1) United States; (2) Canada and (3) Europe. As described&#13;below, the activities of the Company&amp;#8217;s Asian operations are closely linked to those of the U.S. operations; accordingly,&#13;the Company&amp;#8217;s chief operating decision makers review the financial results of both on a consolidated basis, and the results&#13;of the Asian operations have been aggregated with the results of the United States operations to form one reportable segment called&#13;the &amp;#8220;United States segment&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;U.S. segment&amp;#8221;. Each reportable segment derives its revenue from the sales&#13;of cutting devices, measuring instruments and safety products for school, office, home, hardware, sporting and industrial use.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;Domestic sales orders are filled primarily from the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;distribution center in North Carolina. The Company is responsible for the costs of shipping, insurance, customs clearance, duties,&#13;storage and distribution related to such products.

The&#13;results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
