Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Note 11 – Segment Reporting

Based on our continual monitoring of the long-term economic characteristics, products and production processes, class of customer, and distribution methods of our operating segments, we have identified each of our operating segments below as reportable segments. We believe this segmentation is appropriate based upon operating decisions and performance assessments by our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies".
