Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Business Segment Information

For the nine months ended July 31, 2017, we conducted our business and reported our information as one operating segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles. The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been identified as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, which includes all Vice Presidents plus the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This team has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, we considered the nature of the business activities, the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities and information presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration and advice. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.
