SEGMENT INFORMATION
NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company conducts its business as a single operating segment, consolidating all of its business units into a single reportable entity, as a seller of proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care products, and weight-management products through its network marketing distribution channels operating in twenty-four countries. Each of the Company's business units sells similar packs and products and possesses similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins. In each country, the Company markets its products and pays commissions and incentives in similar market environments. The Company's management reviews its financial information by country and focuses its internal reporting and analysis of revenues by packs and product sales. The Company sells its products through its associates and distributes its products through similar distribution channels in each country. No single associate has ever accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales.

The Company operates facilities in eleven countries and sells product in twenty-four countries around the world. These facilities are located in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, the Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Taiwan, South Africa, and Mexico. Each facility services different geographic areas. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom); (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). In November 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to the Ukraine. In December 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to Hong Kong and officially launched Hong Kong operations in April 2013. The Switzerland office was created to manage certain day-to-day business needs of non-North American markets.

Consolidated net sales shipped to customers in these regions, along with pack and product information for the three months ended March 31, are as follows (in millions, except percentages):
