Effective with the first fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company has renamed its business segments to better reflect the outdoor lifestyle focus of the Company’s brands.  The Company’s segments will be referred to as Fishing (formerly Marine Electronics), Camping (formerly Outdoor Equipment), Watercraft Recreation (formerly Watercraft) and Diving (unchanged).  There is no change in the composition of the Company’s segments. 

The Company conducts its worldwide operations through separate business segments, each of which represents major product lines. Operations are conducted in the United States and various foreign countries, primarily in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Basin.  During the three month period ended December 30, 2016 there was no single customer that represented more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales.  The Company had net sales to one customer of itsFishing,  Camping and Watercraft Recreation segments during the quarter ended January 1, 2016 that represented approximately $12,000 of its consolidated revenues.

Net sales and operating profit include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and interunit transfers, which are priced to recover cost plus an appropriate profit margin. Total assets represent assets that are used in the Company's operations in each business segment at the end of the periods presented.
