7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

        MJN operates in four geographic operating segments: Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. This operating segmentation is how the chief operating decision maker regularly assesses information for decision making purposes, including allocation of resources. Due to similarities in the economics, products offered, production process, customer base, and regulatory environment, these operating segments have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Asia/Latin America and North America/Europe.

Corporate and Other consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses; global business support activities, including research and development, marketing and supply chain costs; and income or expenses incurred within the operating segments that are not reflective of ongoing operations and affect the comparability of the operating segments' results.

        The Company's products are sold principally to the wholesale and retail trade. One customer of both the Asia/Latin America and North America/Europe segments accounted for 12% of the Company's gross sales for each year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009; one customer of the Asia/Latin America segment accounted for 14%, 12%, and 11% of the Company's gross sales for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
