BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has several business units within the wholesale segment, which is the Company's only reportable segment. These business units have similar products and services, customer channels, distribution methods and historical margins. The wholesale segment is engaged in the distribution of natural, organic and specialty foods, produce and related products in the United States and Canada. The Company has additional operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments and are therefore aggregated under the caption of "Other." "Other" includes a retail business, which was disposed in fiscal 2018, which engaged in the sale of natural foods and related products to the general public through retail storefronts on the east coast of the United States, a manufacturing business, which engages in importing, roasting, packaging and distributing of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, trail mixes, granola, natural and organic snack items and confections, the Company's branded product lines, and the Company's brokerage business, which markets various products on behalf of food suppliers directly and exclusively to the Company's customers. "Other" also includes certain corporate operating expenses that are not allocated to business units, which include, among other expenses, stock based compensation, and salaries, retainers, and other related expenses of certain officers and all directors. Non-operating expenses that are not allocated to the business units are under the caption of "Unallocated Expenses." The Company does not record its revenues for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for the Company to report them accordingly. The Company has long-lived assets of $25.0 million held in Canada as of July 28, 2018.
