SEGMENT REPORTING
2. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company determines its operating segments on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. Operating segments have been aggregated and are reported as one reportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics and meet the required aggregation criteria. The Company believes its operating segments may be aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: class of consumer, economic characteristics, nature of products, nature of production processes, and distribution methods.

Net Sales:
