NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect changes in its internal organization resulting from the rate of growth within certain of the Company's businesses and the contribution of certain of the Company's tool manufacturing and distribution businesses to the Apex joint venture. The Company now reports results in five separate business segments consisting of the Test & Measurement; Environmental; Life Sciences & Diagnostics; Dental; and Industrial Technologies segments. In addition, the historical results of the tool related business and the Company's equity in earnings of the Apex joint venture is shown separately in the Company's segment disclosures. There has been no material change in total assets or liabilities by segment since December 31, 2010, except for the addition of Beckman Coulter, Inc. to the Life Sciences & Diagnostics segment effective June 25, 2011 and the sale of the Pacific Scientific Aerospace business from the Industrial Technologies segment on April 21, 2011.
