 16  Segment Data

The Company’s organizational structure is based upon its three principal business segments: BD Medical (“Medical”), BD Diagnostics (“Diagnostics”), and BD Biosciences (“Biosciences”).

     The major products in the Medical segment are hypodermic products, specially designed devices for diabetes care, prefillable drug delivery systems, infusion therapy products, elastic support products and thermometers. The Medical segment also includes disposable scrubs, specialty needles, and surgical blades. The major products in the Diagnostics segment are clinical and industrial microbiology products, sample collection products, specimen management systems, hematology instruments, and other diagnostic systems, including immunodiagnostic test kits. This segment also includes consulting services and customized, automated bar-code systems for use in laboratories. The major products in the Biosciences segment are flow cytometry systems for cellular analysis, reagents and tissue culture labware.

     The Company evaluates performance based upon operating income. Segment operating income represents revenues reduced by product costs and operating expenses.

     Distribution of products is both through distributors and directly to hospitals, laboratories and other end users. Sales to a distributor which supplies the Company’s products to many end users accounted for approximately 11% of revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively and included products from the Medical and Diagnostics segments. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues in each of the three years presented.
