GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 15. GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

In 2010, we had two reportable business segments, our main operations, Bovie Medical Corporation located in the United States and Bovie Canada ulc, our Canada operations located in Windsor, Canada. During 2010 we closed the Canadian facility and consolidated the operations to the parent company located in Clearwater, Florida therefore the 2010 amounts represent only a partial year for Bovie Canada ulc. Because Bovie Canada ulc operations represented a loss greater than 10% of our consolidated net income (on an absolute value basis) we are required to report certain information broken out by segment in the table listed below for the year ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands).

	Bovie Medical Corp			Bovie Canada
	2010			2010
Sales, net	$	24,189		$	41
Gross profit	$	10,088		$	(100	)
Operating expenses	$	12,499		$	241
Net income (loss)	$	(1,194	)	$	(341	)

While international sales in 2012, 2011 and 2010 were 17.7%, 21% and 21% of sales, respectively, substantially all of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.
