SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates a chain of supermarkets in New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The Company consists of one operating segment, the retail sale of food and nonfood products. The Company's supermarkets offer similar products to a similar base of customers. Processes for purchasing and distribution, and the regulatory environments they operate in, are all similar and predominantly centralized. The Company does not have any customer representing 10% or more of total revenues.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its President, together as a group, are the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, "Segment Reporting." The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources using income before income taxes and net income. The CODM also uses these measures to evaluate and make decisions on budgets, opening, closing, remodeling or replacing stores, marketing decisions, and acquisitions. The CODM is provided asset information on a consolidated basis as is reported on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes sales, significant expenses, income before income taxes and net income on the Company's single reportable segment:
