Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Schedule of Segment Reporting Information, by Segment

We evaluate segment performance based on gross profit or loss and the evaluation process for each segment includes only direct expenses and selling, general and administrative costs, omitting any other income and expense and income taxes.

The majority of the assets listed under the column labeled "other" are used by multiple segments and are difficult to allocate. We consider such assets corporate assets. Expenses related to these assets, including property taxes, insurance and utilities, are allocated to each segment based on a formula.
