Item 8.01. Other Events

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain historical business segment information recast to reflect a change in its reportable segments effective in the fourth quarter (quarter ended June 30) of its fiscal year 2012.


Change in Reportable Segments

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reorganized its reporting structure in a manner that resulted in a change to its operating and reportable segments. The change resulted from the Company's international expansion and was primarily driven by the acquisition of The Daniels Group in October 2011. The Company previously had one operating and reportable segment. Our operations are now organized and managed by geography, and are comprised of four operating segments: United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe. The United States and the United Kingdom will both be reportable segments, while Canada and Europe do not currently meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting and will therefore be combined and reported as “Other.”

Net sales and operating profit are the primary measures used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. Our CODM is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Expenses related to certain centralized administration functions that are not specifically related to an operating segment are included in “Corporate and other.” Corporate and other expenses are comprised mainly of the compensation and related expenses of certain of the Company's senior executive officers and other selected employees who perform duties related to our entire enterprise, as well as expenses for certain professional fees, facilities, and other items which benefit the Company as a whole. Additionally, acquisition related expenses, restructuring charges and impairment charges are included in "Corporate and other." Expenses that are managed centrally but can be attributed to a segment, such as employee benefits, are principally allocated based on headcount. Assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis and are not reported by operating segment.

The supplemental information included in this Form 8-K presents the Company's business segment information to reflect the change in reportable segments for each quarter of fiscal 2012 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009. There is no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The Company has also provided the Results of Operations section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for each of the respective periods which have been recast to reflect its new organization structure. As required by the Segment Reporting Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, the consolidated financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 will reflect this change in the Company's reportable segments.

This filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the adjustments noted above. Without limitation, this filing does not purport to update any information included in the relevant Annual and Quarterly Reports.
