NOTE 8: SEGMENT REPORTING

The Service Centers segment is engaged in providing maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and integrated services, including logistics capabilities, to industrial customers.  The Service Centers segment provides a wide range of MRO products in the rotating equipment, bearing, power transmission, hose, fluid power, metal working, fastener, industrial supply, safety products and safety services categories.  The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment fabricates and assembles custom-made engineered pump packages.  The Supply Chain Services segment manages all or part of a customer's supply chain, including inventories.

The high degree of integration of the Company's operations necessitates the use of a substantial number of allocations and apportionments in the determination of business segment information.  Sales are shown net of intersegment eliminations.   All business segments operate primarily in the United States.
