Our operations are principally located in North America and Europe. Our country of domicile is the United States of America. Corporate assets consist primarily of real property, equipment, cash and cash investments and other investments. Our segments are based upon similarities in products and services and represent the aggregation of operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our corporate operating executive in determining resource allocation and assessing performance, and is periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for us. We primarily evaluate performance based upon operating profit (loss) and, other than general corporate expense, allocate specific corporate overhead to each segment. The evaluation of segment operating profit (loss) also excludes the income (charge) for litigation settlements, net, and the gain on sale of fixed assets, net.
