We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our US operations include our facilities in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the manufacture of our chemical, glove and disposable products). We also maintain three manufacturing companies China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a wovens manufacturing facility in Brazil which has been discontinued and a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, glove and chemical suit production). Our China and Mexico facilities produce the majority of the Company’s products and China generates a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. The accounting policies of these operating entities are the same as those described in Note 1. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on operating profit, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense and other income and expenses. We have sales forces in Canada, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, Brazil (which has been discontinued) or China.
