As described below,&#13;the activities of the Company&amp;#146;s Asian operations are closely linked to those of the U.S. operations; accordingly, management&#13;reviews the financial results of both on a consolidated basis, and the results of the Asian operations have been aggregated with&#13;the results of the United States operations to form one reportable segment called the &amp;#147;United States segment&amp;#148; or &amp;#147;U.S.&#13;segment&amp;#148;. &lt;/font&gt;Each reportable segment derives its revenue from the sales of cutting devices, measuring instruments and&#13;safety products for school, office, home, hardware and industrial use.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;Domestic sales orders are filled from the Company&amp;#146;s distribution&#13;center in North Carolina.

These sales are completed by delivering&#13;product to the customers&amp;#146; common carriers at the shipping points in Asia. Direct import sales are made in larger quantities&#13;than domestic sales, typically full containers. Direct import sales represented approximately 27% and 21% of the Company&amp;#146;s&#13;total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 28% and 22% for the comparable periods in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The property&#13;consists of approximately four acres of land and 48,000 sq. feet of warehouse space. The property was the site of the Company&amp;#146;s&#13;original scissor factory which opened in 1887 and was closed in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Under the terms of the sale agreement, and as required by the Connecticut&#13;Transfer Act, the Company is required to remediate any environmental contamination on the property. During 2008, the Company hired&#13;an independent environmental consulting firm to conduct environmental studies in order to identify the extent of the environmental&#13;contamination on the property and to develop a remediation plan. As a result of those studies and the estimates prepared by the&#13;independent environmental consulting firm, the Company recorded an undiscounted liability of approximately $1.8 million related&#13;to the remediation of the property. This accrual included the costs of required investigation, remedial activities, and post-remediation&#13;operating and maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;The remediation work, which began in the third quarter of 2009,&#13;was completed during the third quarter of 2012. The Company, with the assistance of its independent environmental consulting firm,&#13;must continue to monitor contaminant levels on the property to ensure they comply with set governmental standards. The Company&#13;expects that the monitoring period could last a minimum of two years. At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $81,000 remaining&#13;in its accrual for post-remediation monitoring and project closing costs, of which approximately $22,000 was classified as a current&#13;liability.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The change in the accrual for environmental&#13;remediation for the six months ended June 30, 2013 follows &lt;font style="color: black"&gt;(in thousands)&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="width: 80%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Balance&#13;    at &lt;br /&gt;&#13;December 31, 2012&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Payments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Balance&#13;    at &lt;br /&gt;&#13;June 30, 2013&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="border-bottom: Black 3pt double; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;124&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="border-bottom: Black 3pt double; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; border-bottom: Black 3pt double"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;(43)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 3pt double"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td nowrap="nowrap" style="border-bottom: Black 3pt double; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;81&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0pt; text-align: justify"&gt;Also, as part of the sale, the Company&#13;provided the buyer with a mortgage of $2.0 million at six percent interest per year.
