(1) Intersegment sales are presented on a cost-plus basis which takes into consideration the effect of transfer prices between legal entities.
(2) The Company does not allocate interest expense or other (income) expense to the reportable segments.

The Company markets its products and services in over 100 countries. Sales are attributed to countries based on the location of sales order approval and acceptance. Sales to customers in the United States were 43.0%, 42.6% and 41.3% for fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Property, plant and equipment, net, attributable to the United States as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, were $127,191 and $119,242, respectively. No single country, outside the United States, accounted for more than 10% of the consolidated net sales or net property, plant and equipment and therefore was deemed not material for separate disclosure.
