Our customer base consists principally of specialty and natural food distributors,
supermarkets, natural food stores, mass-market and e-commerce retailers, food
service channels and club, drug and convenience stores. Our products are sold
through a combination of direct sales people, brokers and distributors. We believe
that our direct sales people combined with brokers and distributors provide
an effective means of reaching a broad and diverse customer base. Food brokers
act as agents for us within designated territories, usually on a non-exclusive
basis, and receive commissions. A portion of our direct sales force is organized
into dedicated teams to serve our significant customers. Additionally, during
fiscal 2015, we have begun outsourcing our natural channel merchandising function.
A significant portion of the products marketed by us are sold through independent
food distributors. Food distributors purchase products from us for resale to
retailers. Because food distributors take title to the products upon purchase,
product pricing decisions on sales of our products by the distributors to the
retailers are generally made in their sole discretion.
