Note 18 -     Segment Information

 

               We sell and distribute products that are typically found in supermarkets and operate three reportable operating segments.  The Military segment consists primarily of seven distribution centers that distribute products exclusively to military commissaries and exchanges.  During fiscal 2010, our military distribution centers in Columbus, Georgia and Bloomington, Indiana became operational.  Excluded from the Military segment totals are two adjacent military distribution centers we purchased during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which are scheduled to become operational during fiscal 2012.   Our food distribution segment consists of 14 distribution centers that sell to independently operated retail food stores, our corporate owned stores and other customers.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we closed our food distribution center in Bridgeport, Michigan at the end of its lease term.  The retail segment consists of 46 corporate-owned stores that sell directly to the consumer.  We sold four retail stores and closed two retail stores during fiscal 2011.  We closed two retail stores during fiscal 2010.

               We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss before income taxes, interest associated with corporate debt and other discrete items.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies.

 

Inter‑segment sales are recorded on a market price-plus-fee and freight basis.  For segment financial reporting purposes, a portion of the operational profits recorded at our distribution centers related to corporate-owned stores is allocated to the Retail segment.  Certain revenues and costs from our distribution centers are specifically identifiable to either the independent or corporate-owned stores that they serve.  The revenues and costs that are specifically identifiable to corporate-owned stores are allocated to the Retail segment.  Those that are specifically identifiable to independent customers are recorded in the Food Distribution segment.  The remaining revenues and costs that are not specifically identifiable to either the independent or corporate-owned stores are allocated to the Retail segment as a percentage of corporate-owned store distribution sales to total distribution center sales. For fiscal 2011, 24% of such warehouse operational profits were allocated to the Retail segment compared to 23% and 18% in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.
