Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 10. Segmented information General description The Company is operated and managed geographically and has production facilities in the United States, Mexico and China. The Company utilizes each reportable segment’s site contribution (site revenues minus operating expenses, excluding unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) on unsettled forward foreign exchange contracts, corporate allocations and restructuring expenses) to monitor reportable segment performance. Site contribution is utilized by the chief operating decision-maker (defined as the Chief Executive Officer) as the indicator of reportable segment performance, as it reflects costs which our operating site management is directly responsible for. 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 ships the product to the customer, irrespective of the product’s destination. Information about the reportable segments is as follows: Year ended January 1 , 201 7 Year ended January 3, 2016 Year ended December 28, 2014 Revenues Mexico $ 102,546 $ 142,738 $ 154,064 US 21,703 33,088 46,652 China 52,745 55,155 57,909 Total $ 176,994 $ 230,981 $ 258,625 Intersegment revenue Mexico $ (530 ) $ (488 ) $ (730 US (442 ) (286 ) (16,775 ) China (8,154 ) (9,591 ) (12,543 ) Total $ (9,126 ) $ (10,365 ) $ (30,048 ) Net external revenue Mexico $ 102,016 $ 142,250 $ 153,334 US 21,261 32,802 29,877 China 44,591 45,564 45,366 Total segment revenue (which also equals consolidated revenue) $ 167,868 $ 220,616 $ 228,577 Site Contribution Mexico $ 8,380 $ 9,784 $ 8,860 US (1,327 ) 913 2,583 China 4,196 3,099 4,613 Total $ 11,249 $ 13,796 $ 16,056 Corporate allocations 11,061 12,560 13,231 Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on unsettled forward exchange contracts (831 ) (616 ) 1,822 Restructuring charges 176 — 1,366 Interest expense 788 1,183 1,693 Earnings (loss) before income taxes $ 55 $ 669 $ (2,056 ) Capital expenditures: The following table contains additions including those acquired through capital leases, to property, plant and equipment for 2016, 2015 2014: Year ended January 1 , 201 7 Year ended January 3, 2016 Year ended December 28, 2014 Mexico $ 771 $ 735 $ 2,962 China 694 1,048 140 US 550 857 361 Segment total 2,015 2,640 3,463 Corporate and other 185 188 169 Total $ 2,200 $ 2,828 $ 3,632 Segment assets: January 1 , 201 7 January 3, 2016 Property, plant and equipment (a) Mexico $ 8,858 $ 10,674 US 2,314 2,217 China 3,046 3,255 Segment total 14,218 16,146 Corporate and other 219 297 Total $ 14,437 $ 16,443 Total segment assets Mexico $ 42,275 $ 45,637 US 9,482 11,069 China 15,489 23,523 Segment total 67,246 80,229 Corporate and other 1,758 1,744 Total $ 69,004 $ 81,973 (a) Property, plant and equipment information is based on the principal location of the asset.

The Company requires collateral only from new customers with insufficient credit until such time as credit insurance can be obtained. The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk in trade receivables and mitigates this risk through ongoing credit evaluation of customers and maintaining credit insurance. 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.
