The Company does not allocate certain selling and administrative expenses for internal reporting, thus, no allocation was made for these expenses for segment disclosure purposes.  Segment assets reported internally are limited to accounts receivable, inventory and long-lived assets.  Certain long-lived assets of one plant location are allocated between the two segments based on estimated plant utilization, as this plant serves both fastener and assembly equipment activities.  Other assets are not allocated to segments internally and to do so would be impracticable.  Sales to two customers in the fastener segment accounted for 19 and 21 percent and 12 and 12 percent of consolidated revenues during 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The accounts receivable balances for these customers accounted for 22 and 26 percent of consolidated accounts receivable for the larger customer and 12 and 13 percent for the other customer as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
