In the distribution segment, sales increased $1.6 million or 4 percent reflecting a stronger demand for consumable service supplies, and after an extended period of soft demand, improved sales of capital equipment. Sales in the manufacturing segment increased $1.6$3.9 million or 4 percent, however, a stronger euro foreign currency translation accounted for $3 million of the increase. Without the favorable translation effect, total sales and manufacturing sales would have increased only one percent as higher unit volumes offset the impact of competitive pricing conditions currently prevailing in most industrial markets served by the Company. Sales in the distribution segment decreased 2 percent based on a continuation of weak demand, particularly for capital equipment. The translation effect of foreign currencies, primarily the euro, had only a minor impact by increasing sales in the manufacturing segment, and total sales, approximately one percent.

MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

        The Company has financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company’sCompany's financial results are subject to changechanges in the market rate of interest. Our objective in managing the exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the volatility and impact of rate changes on earnings while maintaining the lowest overall borrowing cost. At present, the Company has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on any portion of its financing arrangements with floating rates.

        Some of the Company’sCompany's subsidiaries operate in foreign countries and, as such, their financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The Company believes that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations do not represent a significant market risk due to the nature of the foreign countries in which we operate, primarily Canada and Western Europe, as well as the size of those operations relative to the total Company.

        The Company uses certain commodities, primarily plastic resins, in its manufacturing processes. As such, the cost of operations is subject to fluctuation as the market for these commodities changes. The Company monitors this risk but currently has no derivative con-tractscontracts to hedge this risk, however, the Company also has no significant purchase obligations to purchase fixed quantities of such commodities in future periods.
