Operating Segments Information
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our President and CEO. The CODM regularly reviews net sales, gross profit, and operating income by segment to assess profitability and assist in the allocation of resources. Net sales and operating income for each segment are provided below, along with the significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided and used by the CODM when assessing segment profitability and the allocation of resources. The significant amounts within the segment operating expenses include cost of goods sold, compensation and benefits, and advertising. The other operating expenses in the table below is comprised of all other SG&A expenses which include but are not limited to travel, research & development, technical service support, and amortization of intangibles.

We do not rely on any operating segment asset allocations, and we do not consider them meaningful because of the shared nature of our production facilities; however, we have estimated the segment asset allocations below for those assets for which we can reasonably determine. The unallocated asset category is the remainder of our total assets. The asset allocation is estimated and is not a measure used by our chief operating decision maker about allocating resources to the operating segments or in assessing their performance.
