Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 9. Segmented information General description The Company is operated and managed geographically and has production facilities in the United States, Mexico and China. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company changed the measure it utilizes to monitor reportable segment performance from adjusted EBITDA, (which was defined as earnings before restructuring charges, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on unsettled forward contracts) to each reportable segment’s site contribution (which is calculated by management based on site revenues minus operating expenses, excluding unrealized foreign exchange, corporate allocations and restructuring expenses). Site contribution is utilized by the chief operating decision-maker as the indicator of reportable segment performance, as it reflects costs which our operating site management is directly responsible for, and by which the chief operating decision maker makes decisions about resources to be allocated to its operating segments. Intersegment adjustments reflect intersegment sales that are generally recorded at prices that approximate arm’s-length transactions. In assessing the performance of the reportable segments, management attributes site revenue to the reportable segment that originates the shipment of product to the end customer, irrespective of the product’s destination. Information about the reportable segments is as follows: Three months ended Six months ended June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 Revenues Mexico $ 39,155 $ 38,945 $ 74,762 $ 77,702 China 12,150 15,159 21,492 30,689 U.S. 9,008 13,849 15,586 26,541 Total $ 60,313 $ 67,953 $ 111,840 $ 134,932 Intersegment revenue Mexico $ (105 ) $ (142 ) $ (210 ) $ (507 ) China (2,426 ) (3,758 ) (5,090 ) (7,024 ) U.S. (41 ) (6,069 ) (85 ) (11,394 ) Total $ (2,572 ) $ (9,969 ) $ (5,385 ) $ (18,925 ) Net external revenue Mexico $ 39,050 $ 38,803 $ 74,552 $ 77,195 China 9,724 11,401 16,402 23,665 U.S. 8,967 7,780 15,501 15,147 Total segment revenue (which also equals consolidated revenue) $ 57,741 $ 57,984 $ 106,455 $ 116,007 Site Contribution Mexico $ 2,779 $ 2,016 $ 5,675 $ 3,489 China 664 1,125 485 1,840 U.S. 491 874 969 2,581 Total $ 3,934 $ 4,015 $ 7,129 $ 7,910 Corporate allocations 3,257 3,537 6,171 7,207 Unrealized gain on derivative financial instruments (789 ) (851 ) (471 ) (1,094 ) Interest 304 473 614 867 Restructuring charges — 509 — 1,179 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 1,162 $ 347 $ 815 $ (249 ) Additions to p roperty, p lant and e quipment The following table contains additions including those acquired through capital leases, to property, plant and equipment for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014: Three months ended Six months ended June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 June 28, 2015 June 29, 2014 Mexico $ 313 $ 2,105 $ 396 $ 2,282 China 252 39 627 39 U.S. 379 57 385 112 Segment total 934 2,201 1,398 2,433 Corporate and other 13 92 39 112 Total $ 957 $ 2,293 $ 1,447 $ 2,545 Property, plant and equipment (a) June 28 , 2015 December 28, 2014 Mexico $ 11,729 $ 12,556 China 3,240 3,001 U.S. 1,836 1,776 Segment total 16,805 17,333 Corporate and other 230 257 Total assets $ 17,035 $ 17,590 (a) Property, plant and equipment information is based on the principal location of the asset.

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk in trade receivables. The Company considers concentrations of credit risk in establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts and believes the recorded allowances are adequate. The Company expects to continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of its revenue. In addition to having a limited number of customers, the Company manufactures a limited number of products for each customer. If the Company loses any of its larger customers or any product line manufactured for one of its larger customers, it could experience a significant reduction in revenue. Also, the insolvency of one or more of its larger customers or the inability of one or more of its larger customers to pay for its orders could decrease revenue. As many costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in net revenue can decrease profit margins and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended June 28, 2015, two customers exceeded 10% of total revenues representing 17.1% and 11.3% respectively (June 29, 2014 – three customers represented 30%, 12.7% and 11%) of total revenue for the second quarter of 2015. During the six months ended June 28, 2015 two customers individually comprised 19.1% and 14.2% (June 29, 2014 – three customers individually comprised 33%, 13.1% and 10.1%) of total revenue for the six months ended June 28, 2015. As of June 28, 2015, these two customers represented 16.8% and 5.6% respectively, (as of December 28, 2014, these customers represented 14.3% and 20.8% respectively) of the Company’s accounts receivable. |
