Segments and Geographic Area | Segments and Geographic Area: The Company's segments are based on the organizational structure that is used by management for making operating and investment decisions and for assessing performance. Based on this structure, the Company has two operating segments: Nutritional Products and Medical Products. The Nutritional Products segment manufactures and distributes a line of approximately 100 nutritional supplements and personal care products, including herbs, vitamins and minerals, as well as natural skin, hair and body care products. Nutritional Products are marketed under the "RBC Life" brand name through subsidiaries in North America and Southeast Asia. These products are distributed by a network comprised of independent Associates and NFR program participants in certain markets, primarily North America and Southeast Asia, and by licensees in other international markets. For the most part, licensees also market the Nutritional Products in their respective territories through a network of independent Associates. The Medical Products segment markets a line of over 35 wound care products under the "MPM Medical" brand name through a subsidiary operating primarily in the U.S. These wound care products are distributed to hospitals, nursing homes, home health care agencies, clinics and pharmacies through a network of medical/surgical supply dealers, pharmaceutical distributors and our own sales representatives. Medical Products are used to treat and manage pain associated with wounds, in the acute care, long-term care and oncology markets. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments primarily based on operating income (loss). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated, and intersegment revenues are not significant. In calculating operating income (loss) for these two segments, administrative expenses incurred that are common to the two segments are allocated on a usage basis.
