The segments use many of the same assets. For internal reporting purposes, we do not allocate assets by segment and, therefore, no asset by segment information is provided to our chief operating decision maker.

In preparing this financial information, certain expenses were allocated between the segments based on management estimates, while others were based on specific factors such as headcount. These factors can have a significant impact on the amount of gross profit for each segment. While we believe we have applied a reasonable methodology, assignment of other reasonable cost allocations to each segment could result in materially different segment gross profit.

Sales to wholesalers through the A-B Distributor Agreement represented the following percentage of our Sales:

Year Ended December 31,
2014		2013			2012
82.1	%		82.6	%		81.1	%

Receivables from A-B represented the following percentage of our Accounts receivable balance:

All of our long-term assets are located in the U.S. and Sales outside of the U.S. are insignificant.
