We compute operating income for each segment based on net sales revenue, less cost of goods sold, SG&A and any impairment charges associated with the segment. The SG&A used to compute each segment’s operating income is comprised of SG&A directly associated with the segment, plus overhead expenses that are allocable to the segment. We make allocations of overhead between operating segments using a number of relevant allocation criteria, depending on the nature of the expense, the most significant of which are relative revenues, estimates of relative labor expenditures, headcount, and facility square footage. The two months operations of the Healthcare / Home Environment segment’s operations included in our fiscal 2011 consolidated statement of income did not include any allocation of corporate overhead. Beginning in fiscal 2012, we began making an allocation of corporate overhead to the Healthcare / Home Environment segment. For fiscal 2012, this allocation totaled $6.02 million. As we gain operating experience with the new segment and continue to integrate the operations of the Healthcare / Home Environment segment, we expect to allocate the costs of certain operating functions to be shared between segments. As we decide such operating cost allocations are appropriate, there may be some additional reduction in the operating results of the Healthcare / Home Environment segment offset by increases in operating income of the Personal Care and Housewares segments. The extent of this operating income impact between the segments has not yet been determined. We do not allocate other items of income and expense, including income taxes to operating segments. Our domestic and international net sales revenue and long-lived assets for the years ended the last day of February are as follows:

Of these sales, approximately 93, 91 and 84 percent were within the U.S. during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales to our second largest customer, all within the United States, accounted for approximately 11, 10 and 9 percent of our net sales revenue in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales to our third largest customer, all within the United States, accounted for approximately 6, 8 and 10 percent of our net sales revenue in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010.
