13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

The Company has two reportable business segments: the wholesale distribution of consumer products (the Wholesale Segment), and the retail sale of health and natural food products (the Retail Segment). The aggregation of the Company’s business operations into these business segments was based on a range of considerations including but not limited to the characteristics of each business, similarities in the nature and type of products sold, customer classes, methods used to sell the products and economic profiles. Included in the “Other” column are intercompany eliminations and assets held and charges incurred and income earned by our holding company. The segments are evaluated on revenues, gross margins, operating income (loss), and income (loss) from operations before taxes.
