Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     Accounting policies for measuring segment operating income and assets are substantially consistent with those described in note 1 of the financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Because of manufacturing integration for certain products within the segments, products are not sold from one segment to another but rather inventory is transferred at cost. Intersegment sales are not material. Corporate assets include cash, deferred taxes, certain investments and fixed assets.

     In 2006, we changed the way we internally manage and report our business segment results. The management reporting of sales and income related to warehouse club customers was moved to the consumer business from the industrial business. Also, to better represent the profitability of our two segments, we began to allocate 100% of our SG&A to our business segments. In line with these changes, prior year segment results have been restated to be comparable with the current presentation.
