We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our US operations include a facility in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the light manufacturing of our chemical, wovens, reflective, and fire products). The Company also maintains one manufacturing company in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, reflective, fire and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Vietnam (primarily disposable production) and a small manufacturing facility in India. Our China facilities produce the majority of the Company’s products and China generates a significant portion of the Company’s international revenues. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on operating profit, which is defined as gross profit less operating expenses. We have sales forces in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, India, Vietnam or China.
