17. SEGMENTS

        We report our operations under three business segments: Fine Jewelry, Kiosk Jewelry and All Other (see Note 1). All corresponding items of segment information in prior periods have been presented consistently. Management's expectation is that overall economics of each of our major brands within each reportable segment will be similar over time.

        We use earnings before unallocated corporate overhead, interest and taxes but include an internal charge for inventory carrying cost to evaluate segment profitability. Unallocated costs before income taxes include corporate employee-related costs, administrative costs, information technology costs, corporate facilities costs and depreciation and amortization. Income tax information by segment is not included as taxes are calculated at a company-wide level and not allocated to each segment.
